I signed the contract, but included on the paper I signed "under deress"....would this in fact be illegal for him to force 15,000 employees to join a union??? don't know how to get this question to folks who should be aware of of this sure would like some feed back, or for someone to pass this on to the proper people.. Joseph S Carter OHJOE@bex.net Please excuse any mis-spelled words.. after being force to give money back to the union in NM, I retired as soon as I possibly could, did not like the fact I was suddenly under,a communust rule all of a sudden...ohjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860506640100195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-51967100156428039652008-12-15T17:07:00.000-05:002008-12-15T17:07:00.000-05:00Michael: And what about the Republicans in Indiana shutting down the enforcement division of IDEM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management) and letting big businesses who donated to them pump whatever they want into the air and water?<BR/><BR/>I hear those three eyes fish are tasty.<BR/><BR/>Republican corruption?

When you spend all of your adult life supporting and arranging for government intervention in the economy, with the attendant arrogant attitude that you are entitled to do so, it is natural that companies and lobbyists will have their way with these Dems. The players know that they have to curry favor with the Dems, and to them... the bribes are just a necessary cost of doing business... a balance sheet issue. To the Dem bribe takers, it is a justified fee or tribute for their continued favor. They care more... their intentions are pure.... the ends are, after all, designed to help others... so the graft they take is completely justified.<BR/><BR/>Narcissism rationalizes a LOT.Covenant60https://www.blogger.com/profile/00778037319510838719noreply@blogger.com
