Here's another sample.

I can't decide which of these I like better, both are pretty good and fairly hard hitting. Definitely not something that would make me feel good about participating in a union.

They should do one about the union thugs who attacked republican campaign workers.  

There isn't a single piece of real information in either ad.

Spoken like a true union man.

You are either incredibly Naive, totally ignorant, or being facetious.

Examples? Secret Ballot - Gone. Forced payment of Dues. Supporting Political Candidates they do not like or want to. Supporting Executives that make many MANY multiples of what the line employees do (CEOs - Hello!).

Common Knowledge? To whom. Does Every Union Member know about those facts? (They are facts - only the extent is in doubt). While you and I may know this and it is common knowledge, I dare say we are mnre informed than most Americans - and that goes for Union Members as well.

Besides, you just asked for facts. Not who knew them.

And how is that different from the Unions? As I said in the first place:

You're right, Abe, but because they are propaganda ads, not testimonies.

Want a testimony? American Borate Company's Billie Mine in Death Valley, California. I worked there for six months. The mine is predominantly Mexican, and most of those are illegals, yet any attempts to contact the union office in Lancaster, CA were not returned.

These Mexicans, almost universally not American citizens, even the legal ones, were handling dynamite, with the full knowledge of our union reps at the location. Handling explosives by non citizens has been prohibited at least since the post 9/11 fallout.

The union did not have an established grievance procedure, and during my time at the mine, the collective bargaining agreement was signed with NO interaction from the laborers. We did not get to voice our opinions at any time to a union representative. The shop's union representative did not speak English, and the one planned meeting that was cancelled was relayed to the workers in Spanish, so it was not until one of the Mexicans that actually SPOKE to the gringoes told us that we were even informed of the meeting.

Many MSHA and OSHA violations were present underground in the mine, and the union did not respond to a single complaint. How about a full sized truck with no brakes? You stopped it by skidding along the sides of the tunnel and using what very little braking power existed. Now take that and make it ALL the trucks. AND the muckers (basically low profile front end loaders.

All of this we had to endure for $9.00 an hour. We were expected to dress on our time, to clean up on our time, both of which violate standard union protocol. We worked 6 days a week and up to 12 hours a day.

Don't tell me what a great thing unions are. The mine was one of the worst jobs I ever worked. And it was a union job.

I think they were pretty specific. ON the charges leveled. Perhaps you meant the generalities? IN that case, I would agree that the charges are generalities - that in specific instances are true. But not in all cases.
