Labor Day isn't just for union workers, or shouldn't be. Here's an ad, starring Vincent Curatola (The Sopranos) from a couple of years back, made in opposition to Card Check-an attempt to eliminate the secret ballot in union elections. Vince, who played New York mob boss Johnny Sack on The Sopranos, is a conservative, and an enthusiastic supporter of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. As a born and raised New Jersey native, Curatola is well familiar with both the unintended and not so unintended consequences of union domination of a state's work force as pertains to the economy and general business climate. To say nothing of the overall corruption that follows along in its wake and infests the entirety of both the political and the societal culture.
The ad actually related the prevailing national mood and opinion, but it served to bring to light the dangers of such attempts at manipulation of work place rules by Big Labor and its political henchmen. Attempts to ram such legislation through Congress met with a well-deserved fate-utter, dismal failure.
Unfortunately, that's not the end of it. As with so many other things supported by Democrats, and this traitorous, unconstitutional, dictatorial Obama Administration, what they can't achieve through the front door of legislation, or through the back door of the court system, they'll gladly and maliciously impose anyway through the bureaucratic window of government agency regulation.
In this case the National Labor Relations Board is mandating an end to the secret ballot in the workplace. Just like they have refused Boeing, a private company, permission to open an entirely new plant (not move an old one, mind, but open a new one) in a right-to-work state.
Do me a favor, businessmen, employers, and entrepreneurs of America. Sit on your money for a year or two longer. Or if it takes that long, for another five or six, hell however long it takes. It's your money, its your company. Your business does not belong to the state, or to "the people". Its your money, your business, your property. Repeat-sit on it. I mean that in a friendly way, of course.
As for me, I won't buy one single product produced by union labor, unless its an absolute necessity. (Well, except for Coca-Cola. Not even I am that much of a fanatic). And if it gets right down to it, I'll even buy from CITGO, or worse, from companies owned by fundamentalist Muslims.
Hell, half of what I buy now I buy from the Chinese. Might as well double down on the spite.
