I thought you guys were against 'something for nothing'... You think those that choose not to support the union will want the same pay and benefits?... in case you missed the previous post by Mr waterdog...

I've worked both sides of the fence, Union and Nonunion, and i'll take the Union Job hands down over the nonunion. on the Union jobs you pay dues once a month, it's nothing amounts to about 2 and half hours of work. Union jobs pay good, good benefits, and seniority means something, when an opening for a job position comes up, and their are a dozen guys that can do the job. the guy with the seniority get the spot. not uncle Jeb's brother or superintendent son. like it would be on the other side of the fence. Union jobs are disliked most by folks, that don't have a chance of ever having one. like Hlleonard said, a union worker don't have to have Government assistance to provide for their family. I think I read somewhere, that Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana were the top users of Government assistance, and all three are right to work states, run by Republican conservatives. funny how they cry about folks getting food stamps, and support right to work law, and low paying jobs.
Please provide your source. Again, you tell LIES......bold face LIES.......

Here is the data as reported by the CBO for 2014.

Welfare Spending by State - 2014 in billions.... Of the top 10, only 1, maybe 2 are considered Red states.

Of those top 10........the Blue States combined spend more than all the other states in the country on SOCIALIST programs.

Educate yourself and stop being so ignorant. It is really quite easy.
