Unions and Obamanation: Coming to a Business Near You

In my career I've had more than a few dealings with unions. And I might add I believe that there was certainly a time where they were needed. That time has passed in most cases. And if a company is going to have a union then there needs to be a secret ballot, just like there is for every other election we have in this country.

But that is just the tip of the iceberg. I got an email the other day from a friend out west who told me he was being laid off, along with eighteen co-workers, all who were contractors with the US government. Now that in itself isn't surprising in this economy. What is surprising is the reason for his layoff. He was laid off along with eighteen others because they were non-union contractors and the government no longer wants to use 'non-union contractors'.

Now that makes me feel lots better about Obamanation's leadership and direction for our country. First he says we have to have open ballot union elections then he begins laying off non-union contractors. Ahh - to live in a free country. Remember this in November!
