Unions Invade Private Property

“If I didn’t allow them in, I’m the one going to jail!” rants a farmer after a California law allowed dozens of union activists to storm onto his farm.

“You don’t know if they’re mad, if they’re going to get violent,” says one employee who was working when the union arrived with flags and bullhorns, “It was a scary situation.”
The union wanted the workers to strike. Few were interested.
“It is asinine!” says Mike Fahner, the farm’s owner. He points out that unions don’t have the right to access private property without permission in any other industry. “If they came back every day I would have been paralyzed.”
Mike and another business are challenging the law in the Supreme Court. But they lost in two lower courts.
California officials argue that unions must be allowed to go onto farms because "workers remain isolated from the flow of information characteristic of modern society.”
Mike says that’s not true. “Every person has a cell phone in their pocket. [Workers] know how to communicate through Facebook and … Twitter much better than most.
“This is trespassing,” he adds, “You should be going to jail for doing this.”

There were some americans getting their fair days pay for their fair days work and not complaining about it. Causing so much economic damage to a business like that can just lead to those people having one less job to come to during harvest.

@Darrius King Farm workers dont really have significant reason compared to other industries to strike. I have worked several different harvest jobs. You make BANK. But you only get to work for a couple of weeks if youre lucky. These unions come in and strong arm people to strike or demand more when they are already getting a lot. Its what unions do. They shit on everything. Unions arent interested in helping out workers they are interested in perpetual problems they can create, i mean solve.. both actually, so they can milk employees for dues. I have seen more than a half dozen fully profitable companies go under or outright move because of unions. They negotiated their people right out of a job.

I was forced into a union many years ago simply because I was a teenager at the time and I was frightened by them, it too years for me to learn and understand then one day my Bosses Boss offered me a fantastic contract no more shift work and an office and pay rise the union tried to bully me into not signing the contract by this time I was 26 years of age I knew my rights and new how to negotiate my own terms I finally felt strong enough and brave enough to tell them to sod off and leave me the heck alone. I signed the contract and never regretted dropping the union all they ever did was take my dues and did nothing for me at all. That was back in the late 80’s when unions would pull workers out on strike just before Christmas every year like clock work. It caused nothing but misery for families over the Christmas holidays then one day the workers told the unions to go to hell and we finally had no more strikes 4-6 weeks before Christmas. I hate unions they are nothing but bullies today and they look down their noses at the common worker anyway.

My experience is that unions leave your wages stagnant. If you dont mindlessly obey them the stewards will ignore your reports of mistreatment and they will alienate you from everyone until you leave. I was a ufcw member in two different jobs. One stretch was for over 3 years where i trained my replacements and was passed around from shift to shift despite winning a posting on a job. My wage fluctuated weekly and when other employees harassed me i was laughed at by lead hands and stewards. When i switched to a private company with no union i was paid much better to start but it is a slightly dangerous job and would pay more anyway, however, my raises came like clockwork and were substantial. I am now a salesperson and floor supervisor. No union necessary.

It is always too much of something. The textile was mainly based on one of main the leader who was a medical doctor but had a communist ideology. The workers as usual demanded for higher wages. Many of them disagreed and others later repented. Eventually the mills were raised for Commerical and residential real estate. The latter instance of pharma MNCs like Glaxo and JnJ which were before Both captilaist but in conjuncture with unions closed down to move to cheaper labor and real estate. These strikes or VRS (voluntary retirement schemes) were instigated by Congress party (lefty) union leaders. I see similar pattern in USA with the big tech supporting states like CA and NY. So you can say even a free market economies are not spared.

Our company wont even look at an electricians resume if hes in a union. Ive worked around union guys on and off for years. They are some of the laziest slow sloppy workers ive ever seen. Milking wage jobs just to get extra hours. Overly long break and way too often.

@@brandona4618 You haven't seen Puerto Rican Unions in action. Our company(AEE), finally declared bankruptcy because union workers and upper class were getting away with murder.

The union aren't getting their cut of the $ . Once they get their " dues" they quit caring what happens to the workers . That's the only reason unions show up and "protest " .

[@treerogie1513]

Never seen a GOOD union that cared about the ones that pay them

Hey my first job was UNION!!!!! in California UFCW Grocery !! Long story short....it broke the Mega-size Grocery Store (one of 2) and I was out of a job. After we were let go, the Union wasn't interested in speaking with us or helping in any way. I was only 19 when I got my first (of many) "red-pills" about Unions and also how hard it is to operate a business in California....I managed Business in California and In the Midwest...it's like day and night. California is a Vampire because of the LEft

The funny part is that he thinks he owns the property. The government owns all our properties. Its called property tax which is nothing more than leasing the land.
