Union members have achieved a lot over the years but unions are not perfect. I’d go to union halls and 90% of the members supported Bernie but the bosses were all for Hillary. A whole lot of cheating went on in the DNC and we ended up with Trump.

And now union bosses are trying to steal our right to be self-employed.

Uber is a godsend for students, artists, retired folk and anyone who needs to make a bit of extra money, legally, on our own terms, at a time of our own choosing, and without interference from dues-thirsty union bosses.

Nice little business model you got there. Be a shame if something were to happen to it.

Doesn’t this also violate freedom of association?

In reply to ras. The city has a legal right to enforce its will with force. Apart from that, no difference that I can see..

Seattle/King County has a progressive disease to rival any outbreak in the country. Check out city council member Kshama Sawant for a horrifying glimpse at what is befalling one of America’s most beautiful cities.

This is different from a mafia shakedown operation … how?
