The Tea Party attacks all things "Progressive". People and Unions fought, bled, died and were jailed to win you those "Progressive" rights. The right always yelled, "Socialist, Commie!!" Things were different and sometimes horrible in the good old days where you got hurt and were fired and starved to death. But does anyone want to throw away worker's comp, unemployment, vacation pay, minimum wage, overtime, social security and medicare?
Regarding your tripe about Tea Party folks hating employee rights and wanting to throw away worker's comp, unemployment, vacation pay, minimum wage, overtime, social security and Medicare, you must have a vivid imagination or are using drugs, because your run of the mill Tea Party folk are statistically the most employed political group in America - So, why would they want to do away with such services. They don't. What do they want? They don't want Obama to to make card-check happen and they want to reduce the overwhelming control that big labor has on the Obama Administration. A perfect example is the unelected stooges running the Labor Relations Board who have put a hold on the new Boeing plant in South Carolina. Boeing has invested a billion dollars in this plant to build the new 787 Dreamliner, which will employ thousands. And the LRB has put the hold on this S.C. plant, even though not one Boeing labor job will be lost in Seattle by the building of the plant in South Carolina. In fact, Boeing will be building new production of 3 787's per month at their Seattle plant, with 7 per month planned in S.C., if it ever opens. After 3 major strikes by labor unions in Seattle, in as many years, creating much havoc, enmity from customers, competitive disadvantage and significant $ losses to Boeing, if Ralph was a shareholder of Boeing, let alone running the company, he'd be crying like a stuck pig to get a plant built fast in a Right-To-Work state. Frankly, the famous letter by an officer of the Boeing company simply tells a fact of life, that with labor unions in Seattle shutting down your factory regularly, a company like Boeing will always be at a disadvantage competitively with Airbus. Nothing in the letter was illegal, unless the reader is a labor stooge taking orders from Obama. Unfortunately, Boeing will probably have to wait until Rick Perry is President and can rid the Obama appointed anti-business stooges in the LRB and let the S.C plant flourish. Obviously, the 3,000 folks in S.C being denied a chance to go to work, while the labor plant in Seattle is adding new production, is nothing more than a sop to the labor unions and all the money they will give Obama for re-election. Anyway, it really doesn't concern Obama, because the economic needs of Americans in S.C. don't matter, since Obama has no chance to win the state of S.C. in November of 2012.

Voting against one's interests? A common problem with the middle class and the Republican party. What overwhelming control that big labor has? Don't "unelected stooges" always run executive boards? Ah name calling: typical Jeff and a violation of the rules. Also your supposed to be specific. Which stooge are you worried about? I have to go now and don't have time to look into the Boeing issue. Your comment that Obama doesn't care due to the election is just unsupported name calling and worthless.
