Im not going to even question the validity of those quotes. But I must ask. Does the president of LOCAL union qualify as "esteem union leadership" C'mon guys get real. He is the preseident of 1 LOCAL of 1 Union. You could at least quoted someone actually high up.
BTW, I have a PM sent to me from someone on this board. The PM basically warned me to stay out of he shops and dont think about trying to organize his tech. He told me if his workers voted a union in he would close his doors. This is a clear violation of the NLRA. Can I be like you guys and now quote him as an "esteem corporate leader". Can I now say that all business owners feel its ok to violate the law, because of what he says? This guy know who he is, and will probably confirm it himself and boast proudly that he said it.
So this is you guys game. Find any quote that fits your agument and RUN with it as its the general feelings of Labor orgs. Nice...
