No one is more Pro-Worker than me. I am not a fan of Globalization, Free Trade and Outsourcing which has created low wages and low hope for Americans to advance in life. The whole result of these stupid economic ideas is the rise of the Progressive movement and Obama. If during the last economic cycle, people’s wages were rising and there was hope for the future, a Demagogue like Barack Hussein Obama would of never had a chance. The Progressive-Fascists took advantage of Americans genuine economic uncertainty to implement their Totalitarian agenda.
With that being said, the Unions are part of the problem also, in many respects Union workers are choking off economic gains for many Americans. By demanding greedy unjustified Wages, they give the Corporatists the pretext to use illegal aliens and offshore jobs. Many of the off-shored jobs were non union, but by making business costs high, the Unions give the traitor CEO’s the excuse they need. Now in Pittsburgh they are demanding high wage Union jobs to be involvement in City projects. With the economy on the floor, the last thing needed are these Union Thugs demanding a cut.
Local property services workers protested this morning outside Mayor Luke Ravenstahl’s offices demanding union jobs on city projects.
About 150 people chanted, sang and yelled beginning about 8:30 a.m. in the fifth-floor lobby of the City-County Building, Downtown.
“We’re here to ask the mayor to change his development policies,” said Sam Williamson, a representative of the Service Employees International Union. “The purpose of development is to help people, not corporations.”

This is bullying pure and simple. These jerks are making it harder for people like me to get good wages and have hope for a better tomorrow. To me the Unions are just as responsible for the stagnant wages since they drive up costs that hurt others. They don’t care, all they want is their cut.
As for the Corporatists, they love Obama. GE and Goldman Sachs were behind his rise and are pushing for Cap-N-Trade. This is not a coincidence, Big Business and Big Government go hand in hand.
