The “union thug meme” is an outrageous lie. I live in coal country. It isn’t union men that that go out at night and shoot up the homes of miners during a strike. The corporate-owned newspapers bury those reports deep inside with the stories about super market grand openings. Liberal bias, don’t you know.
Videos of union goons rampaging around the capitol, tearing up tents, assaulting people, etc say otherwise. Many of the goons were bussed in from out-of-state.
Speaking of outrageous lies, it’s been at least 80 years since company men shot up workers’ tent cities. Unions are as dead as the sweat shops they were created to eliminate. That’s why they couldn’t get Card Check past Congress, even with control of both Houses and the presidency.

Well the Unions are burning but the lit there own match. The best chance of losing your job these days is having it go overseas and the best chance of having a job go overseas is being in a Union.
The various union’s leaders come from the rank and file. Ordinary folk with maybe a high school education. OK, maybe we are thugs; the great unwashed. . We negotiate with highly paid executives, Bachelor Of Science in Business Admin., behavior specialists. . So what are to do? Just go away?
Yeah! Just fade away you unions! who need you? you have lived the grand life from the sweat of workers for decades and don’t let the door hit you int the way out! (and anyone learned the salary of a union boss lately? just ask any union member they don’t have access to such data yet they pay for it)
If people don’t want to be in a union then go work someplace where you don’t need to be in a union. What’s so hard to understand about that? Work at Wal-Mart or one of the chain restaurants. Be a CEO. Why destroy other peoples’ livelihoods to make your political point?
You have a perfect right to belong to a nonviolent union. You have no right to force me to join one, or to pay the dues I would have to pay were I to join one.

As for the Unions themselves they are the ones using violence to get what they want.

GOP is anti-union and anti-worker. Payne is just trying to protect his radical rich masters.

The right wing nut balls are in favor of tax breaks for the rich but hate it if a man makes an honest living if he works for a union.
