City conducts anti-union classes

You know corporatism rules the roost in America when a city can use taxpayer funds to sponsor or organize meetings whose primary purpose seems to be to bust labor unions.

It's happening in Lexington, Kentucky. The city is conducting a series of human resource classes whose name leaves little to the imagination: "Staying Union Free." It's all paid for by Lexington taxpayers.

The meetings come during efforts by a group of city workers to unionize. Some of the local unions are furious that taxpayer money is being spent on this.

Some who attended the first session said the contents of the event were not anti-union. But when you call it "Staying Union Free", there's no doubt where it's headed.

I guess it's no surprise in BushWorld for workers to have their hard-earned tax dollars used to fight against their interests. A shame.
