Union Busting

With the economy and unemployment, these words sound very appealing, but it is just a smoke screen. This bill is made to bust unions.
The facts our state representatives don't tell you are of the states that have a right to work bill, the wages are lower, less if any healthcare coverage and it puts your retirement security in jeopardy. Their selling point is that it will get people working.
We have seen it first hand in this county. A company takes hard-working people, many of those who have dedicated many years to help build the company then are let go, only to be replaced by temporary employees at half the wage and with no health care. Our state representatives support this kind of activity. Until our government stops supporting jobs being shipped to China, our unemployment will not get under control.
Why don't our Congressman/Senators have backbone and support the American worker? Write a bill that puts tariffs on those American companies that have product made in China then ship it back to the United States for sale, and give all tax breaks to those American companies, small and large who choose to stay here and employ Americans - no brainer, unless special interests are lining their pockets.
The people that represent us are supporting a communist economy, while ours goes to the trash. If our representatives of any party affiliation don't support such a bill, the bums need voted out. If something is not done, all these protest around the world could end up in our backyard. Write and call your government officials, put pressure on them to do what's right for America, and if they won't listen, use the elections to speak for you.
