Conservative TV host Carl Higbie is calling out America’s labor unions for what they really are. He says these once-helpful groups have turned into giant power hungry blobs that hurt working families.
Higbie knows what he’s talking about when it comes to union greed. He watched the United Auto Workers demand crazy pay raises while threatening to shut down car plants. These union bosses don’t care about regular workers or American families.
The port workers strike last year proved Higbie right about union tactics. Fifty thousand workers walked off the job demanding a massive 77 percent pay raise. That’s not fighting for fair wages – that’s economic terrorism against hardworking Americans.
These union leaders act like mobsters holding our economy hostage. They care more about their own power than helping the workers they claim to represent. Meanwhile, regular families pay higher prices for everything because of their selfish demands.
Real American workers want good jobs and fair pay. But these bloated union bosses just want control and money. They’ve forgotten their original mission of protecting workers from bad employers.
The damage goes far beyond just higher costs at the store. When unions shut down ports and factories, it hurts every American business. Small companies can’t get the supplies they need to keep people employed.
Union bosses live like kings while telling workers to strike for months without pay. They collect huge salaries and benefits while families struggle to pay bills during these strikes. It’s a rigged system that benefits the few at the top.
America needs leaders like Carl Higbie who will stand up to union bullies. Our economy works best when workers and employers can make deals without power hungry union bosses getting in the way. It’s time to put working families first, not union politics.
