Workers won a drive to join the IBEW at an Anheuser-Busch facility in Newburgh, New York using a unique online organizing campaign. To avoid anti-union intimidation tactics, the workers set up a special blog to anonymously interact with their fellow workers about the union organizing effort.
IBEW Local 363’s Sam Fratto said:
Rightardia has to laugh when we reads about Tea Partiers and other right wingers who don't like unions. When you are in a union, you are paid about 25 per cent more and can file grievances against bad managers.
The training is also better and union workers are more productive. If you want something done right, hire a union worker. You will get your money's worth.
Unions provide a far more democratic work environment. No doubt the situation that is an outcome of worker's organizing, is better than the situation many Tea Partiers are in today, who trusted their fates to heartless corporations.
These corporations lack unions because of worker apathy and because the corporatists who run them are aggressively anti-union.
Whose fault is that?

When a company finds out which people are behind the organizing campaign, all of a sudden they have a target on their back. So what we wanted to do was to try to keep the people out of that firing range and get them protected so then they didn't have to worry about losin' their job or being punished."Rightardia congratulates the new IBEW workers for beating "the man." IBEW is the sister union to the CWA that Wirehead, our technical writer, belonged to.
