I think they need to know this is how "spreading the wealth" works as they leave unemployed.

If he is elected. there will be a revolt and I see more and more businesses doing things like this.

Just like the unions needed to learn. When i lived in Pittsburgh in the late 70's and early 80's. The steel makers were on there butts. Steel prices were low, they were still recovering from the Jimmy Carter destruction of the economy. I remember US Steel asking the United Steel Workers Union for concessions and if they got them then US Steel would keep plants open and committed to investments in the plants. Otherwise it was cheaper for them to build new mini steel plants (like Nucor) and they are typically started as non union and try to keep it that way.

The union not only said no, but "hell no". So one by one US Steel started closing plants. The union started to strike at plants that were running ... so as soon as they announced a strike, US Steel would announce they are closing the plant. Then they had nothing to strike about.

It worked great. The union eventually saw the light and started to work together with US Steel and now US Steel is much stronger and has grown over the years because they could be competitive. Other steel makers were not so lucky, like Bethlehem Steel.

BO wantes to protect the unions and eliminate secret ballots. That will just make US manufactures less comptetive world wide and lead to more job losses and plant closings.

The liberals just don't get this. Business is not the enemy. They need to be competitive to survive and compete around the world. Otherwise businesses move out of this country and build plants were they can be competitive. It is very simple.
