POLITICS AS USUAL: THIS UNION'S GOT ME FUMIN'

THIS is why I can't stand labour unions.

So let me get this straight: a private enterpise has decided to close its doors because its no longer profitable. Yes, 160 lost jobs, but that is how a free economy works.

Now, not only is the Quebec Federation of Labour calling for a province-wide boycott of Wal-Mart, but the Nurses Union and a Union representing Alcan workers are organizing boycotts as well.

Nurses?

Alcan workers?

Leaving aside the fact that they should stick to screwing their own employers, what gives any union a right to dictate whether a store, shop, factory or office remains open or closed?

Oh wait--that's right. THEY DON'T.

Just another reason why rade unions need to be thrown into the "ash heap of history", to paraphrase one of the greatest union busters, the Gipper.
