    OBAMA CALLS FOR STRIKING UNION WORKERS TO BE FIRED

    OBAMA CALLS FOR STRIKING UNION WORKERS TO BE FIRED

    Hilarity ensues as a panicked Barack Obama – fresh off his defeat at the hands of elderly World War II veterans – grabs a microphone and makes a compelling case for firing every union worker who goes on strike:



    The poor saps cheering him are almost as funny as Obama himself. The only thing that would make this clip better would be a quick reaction shot of an aide facepalming himself into a coma, or maybe a union boss beginning to applaud until he realizes what the President just said, at which point he slowly stops clapping.

    We were already painfully aware that this President doesn’t know much about business, but it looks as if he doesn’t understand organized labor very well, either.

    Maybe he just sees little bags of campaign money when he looks at his union pals. He hasn’t been moved by their complaints against ObamaCare, has he?

    The President also fell back on the kind of rhetoric liberals used to decry as unacceptable effusions in a toxic Climate of Hate, wailing that “you don’t negotiate by putting a gun to the other person’s head, or worse, putting a gun to the American people’s head” – even though he’s the one who keeps looking for ways to make the American people suffer as much as possible during the shutdown. He seems nervous about the possibility that a critical mass of people will notice that.

    GAFFE: OBAMA CONDEMNS LABOR STRIKES WITH SHUTDOWN ANALOGY



    by BEN SHAPIRO 3 Oct 2013, 10:26 AM PDT 27 POST A COMMENT

    On Thursday, President Obama launched into yet another broadside against Republicans over the government shutdown while in campaign mode in Rockville, Maryland speaking to a construction company. Oddly, after veering off teleprompter, he likened Republicans shutting down the government to striking workers shutting down a business: “Everybody here does their job, right? If you’re working here and in the middle of the day you just stopped and said, ‘You know what, I want to get something, but I don’t know exactly what I’m gonna get, but I’m just gonna stop working until I get something, I’m gonna shut down the whole plant until I get something, you’d get fired.”

    Except that they wouldn’t. Obama, a constitutional law lecturer at the University of Chicago, apparently forgot about the National Labor Relations Act, which explicitly bars employers from firing striking employees. According to the Department of Labor, “Under the NLRA, it is illegal for your employer to fire, demote, or transfer you, or reduce your hours or change your shift, or otherwise take action against you, or threaten to take any of these actions, because you join or support a union, or because you engage in concerted activity for mutual aid and protection, or because you choose not to engage in any such activity.”

    @BarackObama attacks the right of workers to strike. …Wait, WHAT?

    Apparently the labor union movement has been deemed to be nonessential government employees:

    Obama to Visit Rockville Company, Talk Shutdown

    President Obama plans to visit a Maryland construction company to talk about the government shutdown's effect on business.

    “If a worker shut down a manufacturing plant until they got what they wanted, they’d be fired.” …Wow. It’s not every day that a Republican gets to stick up for the right of the working man to strike for better pay and working conditions. Makes you wonder whether Barack Obama’s feeling nostalgic for the days when you could just send in the Pinkertons to take care of persistent malcontents…

    Via @RBPundit, who notes:





    And the AFL-CIO probably does disagree; only they’re not going to say so, because they’re siding with management instead of their own workers. Hey, isn’t there a word for that?
