    Unionizing The Unemployed

    Union aims to organize the unemployed | The Daily Caller

    America’s jobless are unionizing, or at least furthering an agenda of one of the nation’s biggest unions.

    An organization aimed at giving the unemployed more influence has announced it now has more than 100,000 jobless activists in their ranks.

    The Union of Unemployed (UCubed) Activists is an Internet-centric “community service project” of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) — one of the country’s largest industrial trade unions.

    It won't be long and the Unions will try to organize the welfare folks also.

    "As "Couch Potatos United" representatives, we will fight for your right to keep laying on the couch all day. We will fight for higher dollar amounts at the tax payer's expense because you deserve more beer, marijuana money, and a larger TV."

    I can just hear the organizing slogans now. I swear.......the Unions just keep stepping in excrement at every turn. And they wonder why public opinion has turned against them.
    I spend most days hunting, fishing, and on Truckingboards. The rest of my days are just wasted.

    There's a good survival plan. I wonder if they get a job, will the union get their unemployment back for them?

    So if somebody joins this union and then gets a job, would that make them a skab?...

    they would just move into the union advancement program.
    Of course to be elegable, they would have to move from the unemployment union to a union employed job. Any other position would b skab.
