Title: Union Freeloaders
Post by: WhiskeyGirl on February 23, 2011, 07:49:53 AM
I've been watching folks on TV, pro union supporters, suggest that those who take the union benefits and don't pay dues, are 'freeloaders'.  Thus, we have to force everyone to join the union and pay up.  They force the membership to carry their financial burden...

Why not just let them not take the benefits?  Pay dues?  We don't guarantee you the benefits or the pay, you cut your own deal?

Why do they cry about dues payers, and ignore other freeloaders in our country?

For years, folks have gone into hospitals and used the services and not paid anything?  What about those freeloaders?  Their expenses have been passed along to honest folks who make payment arrangements, either through insurance or self pay.  How much do these freeloaders cost the nation?

I would imagine some of those freeloaders have insurance but don't want to pay a copay when they can get something for free.

Same with the freeloaders that get energy assistance.

I believe there are the needy and the greedy that get public benefits...

The unions don't want to support freeloaders, but it's ok for the rest of us?
