 Union Activists Plan to Crash Yale Graduation
Posted By Bill McMorris On May 18, 2017 @ 5:00 am In Issues | No Comments

Graduate students and labor activists from across the country plan to picket Yale's graduation ceremony on Monday in support of graduate students trying to form a union.

An organization called X-Campus Rank and File said it will assemble at Yale's commencement ceremony to hold a "forum on resisting Ivy League-led unionbusting in the Trump era." The group hopes its event will drown out the cheers greeting commencement speaker Theo Epstein, a 1995 Yale graduate and baseball executive wh0 helped break World Series curses for the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs.

Yale didn't want graduate students to unionize a long time before DJT came along. Good grief.  *****rollingeyes*****

Unions are relics of the 19th century whose membership has been rapidly declining outside of the public sector, where they can effectively hold taxpayers hostage.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

Only because the politicians in charge allow it in return for "campaign contributions" .

So what are they going to do?

Look at the Yale Grads and say "Look, here's our future bosses?"

Unions are anathema to the concepts of individual freedom and liberty.  They are radically un-American.
