Some of that may be justified, CC! 11 Alive, here in Atlanta needed one of those plains, down in Savannah Georgia. They got thrown out of the hotel where they were staying, because ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) was holding a private meeting. Armed guards had them kicked out. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.11alive.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Finvestigations%2F2015%2F05%2F21%2Finvestigators-legislators-and-corporate-lobbyists-meet-in-secret-at-georgia-re

There used to be a back room court room, for some cases, namely one of mine, D V b P! I was afraid it was going to be a Kangaroo Court, so to speak, but I did wind up wining. It just cost the hell out of me to get the county to abide by their own ordinance. Let me ask you, D V b P; why would a citizen need a declaratory judgment to get the county they live in to abide by it's own county ordinance?

Thanks, E Z! Yes, ALEC! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDEQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alecexposed.org%2Fwiki%2FWhat_is_ALEC%253F&ei=SsBtVankErWAsQSvvIOQDQ&usg=AFQjCNEtsDUrgotZNFQ3cZRSLWpQvrv4Mg&sig2=71u5_NlADPAa4Zf3PwNAsg

They call themselves The American Legislative Exchange Council, They are not a labor union, but they do unite into a union. ALEC is not a lobby; it is not a front group. It is much more powerful than that. Through the secretive meetings of the American Legislative Exchange Council, corporate lobbyists and state legislators vote as equals on ‘model bills’ to change our rights that often benefit the corporations’ bottom line at public expense. ALEC is a pay-to-play operation where corporations buy a seat and a vote on ‘task forces’ to advance their legislative wish lists and can get a tax brea

I think you are as much of a federalist as I am cptio! You are just a corporation supporter. Are you an ALAC Union member. I, on the other hand, support a different side of the US market. Here's my slogan:

Cheapskates have some kind of PTSD, CC, I think! I don't know what causes them to be so skeptical of reality.

I think women need a little more man in them. I don't mean that as an insult, but rather to tell them that men negotiate what they get in life. From my experience, it seems that women do less negotiation, and therefore pay more while making less. Tolerance is good, in women, but it's sometimes expensive, and when I say expensive, I mean coming and going expensive. Spend more, and get less. Men tell women to shut up, sit home, and not vote. They damn sure don't want them in a union

Bank executives make more money than that, but here is a draw back from being the chief executive in the banking business. Mary Callahan Erdoes, CEO of JPM Asset Management was paid $15 million including a $4.9 million cash bonus. Matthew Zames, Co-Chief Operating Officer, and Daniel E. Pinto, Co-CEO Corporate & Investment Bank, each were paid $17 million including bonuses of $6.1 million and $8.1 million respectively. Executives make money. Of course, she's a woman. but I'm for equal pay for equal work. Unions help balance the scale for women in the work place. Here

The worse thing about employees not being represented by a union is their inability to have a negotiated contract. Employees who have not negotiated a contract must abide by a contract made up completely by the company they work for. In order to work for the company you have to sign their contract, and without union representation you are at their mercy. Do as they say, no matter what they ask, or you can be fired for good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all. I hate to be at the mercy of an employer. We used to even have to work at some company job, just to have healthcare insurance.

I hate to think what mine would be, if I still lived there. I think the tax assessors hated me, because I was known as a trouble masker. It cost heck out of a Paulding county citizen, in taxes, to be known as a trouble masker. I was just trying to get the county to abide by their own ordinances, and was not attempting to be a trouble maker. Not only high taxes, but it cost heck out of a citizen to even get a declaratory judgment to get the country to abide by their own ordinances. I feel your pain, even now, folks. But, by God I don't feel it in my pocket book, ANY MORE!

This youtube video need not be represented by any of my input. It's presentation speaks for itself. https://youtu.be/F2XTlgiPRuQ

Of course, but the main thing is that officials need to get paid, and money needs to be in the bank for them to write check to their protectors, and servers. It's just like the Paulding County Court House situation, all over Georgia.

I can certainly understand your frustration, rnchikk! The notion that we are protected and served by the people who ware uniforms, and gets their paychecks from our agents (so called county, and city representatives) is a charade. Our agents are the ones who are protected, and served. They don't give a damn about us, until we resist arrest.

I love them, even though I didn't personally associate much. Thad is a great man, and Melissa is a great woman. Melissa's arrest, in Paulding county, affected me, very much. I was familiar with her desire to try to get some justice, but there was none. I love Thad, too! He is my mentor, in so many ways, even though I haven made him aware of that fact.

I don't know where some union members get their training, E Z, but that is not the issue. If you are not a member of an organization, you don't have a leg to stand on, so to speak. You can be a representative of the Georgia public, and take a camera, and a microphone, to record what a union is up to with our Georgia law makers, and our uniformed protectors, and servers will get you kicked out of the hotel.

I don't think it makes a difference, much, in Paulding county. The sheriff's office is not going to mess with the people who signs his pay check, and the Marshall's office is under the same obligation, so to speak. Even though their uniforms are a little different they still protect and serve out agents, because our agents sign their pay checks, WHITEY! They don't give a damn about the tax payers, in Paulding county. I know, because I used to live there. When a Paulding county citizen tells me that the Sheriff said he is not going to mess with the people who signs his pay check, I ca

Well I certainly hope many readers finds your kind of information. It took me year to become myself, because I started off in the woods next to the Alabama line, in Haralson county, Georgia. At 70 I have progressed, I hope. But, I've found that people find my belief's offensive, no matter what I believe in. This was a song I liked, back then. https://youtu.be/PZXvxOXXdCk

Thanks, TJB! I know you feel the pain, very well, and understand such grief. You never become immune, and the hurt hurts just as much, every time. There is no difference in the degree of pain felt, every time.

Well, take a hike, cheapskate. It doesn't pay to indulge into your mambo jumbo anyway.

I don't see anything good about somebody taking it upon themselves to get personal enough to tell me to stay on topic, when it was what I was doing, in a thread about Unions Hypocrisy. Don't do that, E Z!

Very good, mtm! I feel like I am conversing with someone of above average, or even better, understanding of the way things really are. I am not surprised, however! I know you have the kind of knowledge to recognize a lot of things for what they are. You just don't boast, because you know you will get responses from those who are not in the know, in regard to understanding, and other wisdom's. In other words, there is no point, until you are talking to someone who appreciates your educated opinions. I thank you, and my character thanks you, because I agree, so much. with

I agree, with that, 100%! But, I also refuse to allow other people's opinions to frustrate my fellow citizens, by their screwed up perceptions of what will happen, which they don't mind dishing out. You and I don't care about this type of marketing (propaganda push), that is done, But, I know some of my very close friends have fallen for this advertisement. Nevertheless, the credit is passed on. Marketers don't want any credit, and they will tell, my friends, that they bought what was sold to them, so it's their own fault. Thank you for your wise words, in any event, mtm!

Okay, E Z, You looked it up. That's good. Now tell me why you wanted me to stick to the topic, while the title gave me the right to speak about Union Hypocrisy, without any restrictions on the topic of discussion, until you took it upon yourself to get personal with me. Have you got a personal issue with me?

Who are you to tell me to stick with a topic, when the title allows me to talk about Unions Hypocrisy. Who died, Sir, and made you King of the chit hill, around here?
