Private Sector Labor Union Membership Falls

This is one to think about and explains why President Obama was nominating Erroll Southers, a proponent of the unionization of government workers, to be head of TSA.  There are a large number of TSA employees who are ripe for unionization and the SEIU, considered corrupt by many, is just waiting in the wings to do just that.  If allowed to unionize TSA inspectors, the SEIU would reap dues deducted from paychecks every month for doing absolutely nothing.

Absolutely nothing, you say?  How could that be?

Think about it.  Unions were created to represent the workers at a time when the labor of the workers was exploited by the owners to maximize the owners' profits.  Can anyone tell me, with a straight face, that government workers are exploited to maximize the government's profits?  Can anyone tell me, with a straight face, that union representation, given the protections created by the Congress through the creation of a Civil Service many decades ago, is necessary to protect government workers?

I think not.  It's not about taking care of government workers.  It's about the unions being able to increase their coffers which they will use to support the programs of liberal-progressive-socialists in general and the Obama Administration in particular.  No good can come of the increased unionization of government workers.  It will divide loyalty and create a political power within the government.  That is something the nation doesn't want or need.
