First The DNC, Then Russia Now FCA & The UAW Have A Scandal They Can Call Their Own

If indictments are levied against more people for conspiracy, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the UAW will find themselves embroiled in a scandal that could eclipse most others in recent automotive history.

Last week, a federal indictment alleged FCA executives partnered with UAW leaders to siphon funds earmarked for employee training to line their own pockets. The indictment lays out a scenario in which many more charges could be levied against FCA employees and other high-ranking UAW officials who may have been involved.?

For now, just two FCA executives face charges. Eight more executives and UAW leaders, in total, have been mentioned but not named.

It's time for "right to work" to be the law.

I imply no sarcasm or disrespect, but is "right to work" the same thing as an employer being obligated to employ a person?

No. "Right-to-work" laws protect the worker's right to work unencumbered from being forced to be a part of the union.

And you knew that.

Unions = Business Cancer. In today's modern world with Canadian/US labor laws there simply is no need for legalized mafia extortion of union dues by union thugs and the dog fucker mentality that permeates and eventually cripples these organizations.

Funny how the union bosses always preach about how much money the companies make (and take all the risks) yet they never disclose their inflated salaries and perks to the worker bees that they exploit. China does not have this problem and that is why they are winning and we are screwed. Time to outlaw Unions before they destroy everything.

Anyone that has bothered to understand the history of labor knows that unions came about because there were no laws protecting workers. Now we have laws upon laws to protect workers. That makes unions pointless. Unions are all about siphoning money off of workers to hand over to the DNC and they hand over much more than just what they say they are collecting for political action.

Ten is a lot. Huge number. More than enough too prove the entire union is corrupt. Hell, that all unions are. And of course, FCA didn't want to be involved but the entire UAW forced them to. No wonder that have such limited money for product and build quality.
