Here\u2019s what some union officials had to say about their liking to compulsory unionism:<\/p>\n
\n- \tPushing Big Labor\u2019s \u201ccard check\u201d organizing scheme over the employee-preferred secret ballot elections, Mike Fishman, SEIU Local 32BJ chief, said: \u201cWe don\u2019t do elections.\u201d<\/b> \u2013Wall Street Journal<\/i><\/a> \t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Speaking against Iowa\u2019s 60 year-old Right to Work law, Jan Laue, a top official of the Iowa AFL-CIO said, \u201cIf you don’t want to be a part of it, then you ought to go work somewhere else.\u201d<\/b> \u2013River Cities\u2019 Reader<\/i><\/a> \t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- The National Right to Work Foundation hired 24-hour security detail after United Auto Workers union militants distributed driving directions to a dissenting employee\u2019s home. UAW union Region 8 boss Gary Casteel claimed to disavow use of vandalism or physical threats to those who opposed unionization. Yet, Casteel seemingly encouraged the reprisals when the labor boss said this about the dissenting employee, \u201cHe did put himself in limelight.\u201d<\/b> \u2013High Point Enterprise<\/i><\/a> \t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Tim Welch, spin doctor for the WFSE union, speaking about employees\u2019 right (or lack-thereof in Washington state) to choose: \u201cYou can choose to be a member of the union, you can choose to pay a fee. But ultimately, if you do not like that, you can choose to be unemployed.\u201d<\/b> \u2013 Spokesman Review<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Former chief of the United Mine Workers union, Richard Trumka, implied that employees who work during a strike deserve whatever happens to them. In 1993, he had this to say after a heavy equipment operator was shot in the back of the head as he drove past militant UMW strikers: "I’m saying if you strike a match and put your finger in, common sense tells you you’re going to burn your finger."<\/b> \u2013Washington Times<\/i><\/a> \t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[889],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"\nHe Just Said What?! - National Right to Work Foundation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nrtw.org\/blog\/he-just-said-what\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"He Just Said What?! - National Right to Work Foundation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Of course, from time to time public figures will spew some pretty surprising statements to the media.
