I got over my shock with my Republican gay clients attempting to adopt a child yet telling me they did not believe gays, including them, should be able to marry. But this union bashing thingie..by a union member...
?
The young man is a Houston firefighter, and a member of their union. From what I can discern, it is a strong, vital union.
But he only joined it to get hired, and has nothing to do with it. He believes he would be better off without it. ? He is about 28 yrs old. He is sort of ashamed he is a union worker. ? He thinks unions are a mobster organization. ? He believes he would make a lot more money if the union was busted. ?
He is college educated. Wicked smart. A Tea Party sort of guy.
He had no idea what "collective bargaining" meant, so I curse the Texas education system, and am thinking a clear definition of how this works should be mandatory in all colleges to obtain a degree.
I have marvelled for years at Republicans who are dirt poor still voting against their own best interests. ?
Now, middle class masochists. ?
On, Wisconsin!, as the song goes!
