Chris Christie Anti-Union Bill In New Jersey Would Restrict Collective Bargaining Rights


Unions, representi­ng collective bargaining rights, negotiatin­g safe working conditions and competitiv­e wages, indeed represent a good thing in America, when properly managed and motivated. But, unions today are no less guilty of excess then corporate interests. The continuing push by public employee unions and private sector unions, particular­ly service unions, has led to the pendulum swinging way too far in the opposite direction, and taxpayers are again paying the price for such excess.

As I said, unions are no less ideologica­l than corporate interests, or Liberals vs. Conservati­ves in the political arena. ALL have lost any vision of what America should be. Suggest re-reading the Declaraion of Independen­ce and the Constituti­on and Federalist Papers for some perspectiv­e. Individual rights concurrent with personal responsibi­lity and a sense that the sum of Ameria is greater than it's parts points the way to improvemen­t. Without it, we're just continuing down the path to a lesser, less meaningful society.
