Dave Jamieson — 'They're Not Dead Yet': Planning The Demise Of Labor Unions At CPAC

Many UAW opponents on the right said they were concerned the union's presence would hurt the plant's expansion plans or make it harder to attract new businesses to Tennessee. But one of Norquist's panelists, Terry Scanlon, president of the Capital Research Center, seemed to acknowledge Saturday that the true fight in Chattanooga was a political one. This was the "unmentionable" that Scanlon nonetheless mentioned.
"What is really good here is the unmentionable: There will be so much less money without all these dues, 90-some percent in most cases, going to Democrats," Scanlon said during the panel. "Without the money there, it's not going to happen. This is great news. It's great news."
As usual, it's about the money, who has it, and who doesn't. Money = power and control.

Money does NOT equal power when given to corrupt unions and feckless Democrats. Workers need an alternative, one that actually places their needs first.
