www.freechoiceact.org Think your boss is bad? This CEO think hand sanitizer is healthcare coverage and soda is an employee benefit.

That’s why we’re hoping you take a minute to join one million people in support of the Employee Free Choice Act after you watch this video we made with the award-winning producers at Brave New Films. Watch the video, and then sign the petition and help us reach one million signatures at www.freechoiceact.org The full cast and crew are: Starring Clint Carmichael as Mr. Bigman Executive Producer — Robert Greenwald Director / Producer — Christopher Sprinkle Co-Producer — Leda Maliga Associate Producer — Erikka Yancy Director of Photography — Michael Totten Production Designer — Rachel Payne

sad, but this vid is the “state of the workers” in America. “Land of the Free”, not if you work for someone.
For many workers, they worker under workplace rules that would have been common during antebellum times. Sad, so little progress since then and where is our fearless leaders? At a lobbist lunch most probably
Thank you IBEW nation wide!!!!
@bastard Dumb ass how about a counrty that no longer supports unions due to their radical anti american bargaining tactics?How about yearly DECREASES in unions participation.How about the growth China’s communist economy thanks American companies inability to compete due to the outrageous pay and benefits GREEDY union works get for their low production and poor workmanship?Unions have destroyed America’s dominace and fucked all Amercians.The gig’s up AMERICA HATES YOU GREEDY MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!
goldsilver…. Still no facts yet? Go figure, just libertarian bullshit. This isn’t the 18th century dude. Just because you open your mouth and wave your fist doesn’t mean you’re right. Oh yeah and company stores, slavery and the feudal system have been gone in modern society for over hundreds of years now. I’d hate to think that we are going to digress back to that in the name of capitalism.
Again, all I see is harsh criticism from someone who cannot cite any facts other than the crap they hear on FOX. Go worship Reaganomics or liberationists bullshit like a good cronie then get back to me when you can logically defend your point vs. trying to invalidate mine with some blow hard comments.
@inst You are a real brainwashed fuck, UNIONS HAVE DESTROYED AMERICA in the last 50 years. Your just another mindless union suck ass who dosn’t have the abilty to think rationally due to being a union leaders boot licker! Your support for todays unions should be considered treason UNIONS HAVE UNDERMINED AMERICA AND HAVE DESTROYED MILLIONS OF JOBS due to there unreasonable demands. Support for unions is support for the death of American economic system and a vote for massive unemployement .
Great points, Instagating. I hate it when Conservatives blast unions and “government.” The government is We the People, and “we” Progressives have done a lot of great things. Besides the ones you mentioned, we have passed Social Security and Medicare, created the VA, and passed the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. Teddy Roosevelt, a GOP Progressive, was the father of the environmental/conservation movement. Nixon, though not a liberal, did create the EPA to his credit,only good thing he did.
Unions aren’t communist. They are socialist ideals in play at the workforce. Much like the United States Police, Military, Fire Department, Public safety, and list goes on…. if your too dumb to recognize that you should stop watching all the crap you see on TV and read a history book. YOU can THANK UNIONS for the 8 hour work day, 40 hour work week and minimum wage, OCEA standards. If those things disappoint you go to Mexico or China and get a job, then post on Youtube how much you hate Unions.
Your a perfect example of one of those idiots who repeats everything they see on FOX! Calling unions communism is repeating the same BS propaganda created at the end of the USA’s industrial revolution. It was started by large corporations that didn’t want to share their riches with the working Americans. Where do you work? how long? how hard? You can thank Unions for your good job and if your management and/or owner how much money do you make to sell out and repeat the crap you here on FOX?
Agreed, completely! People watch FOX and repeat the same shit over and over again. FOX is anti Union along with every other greedy republican politician who would rather see Americans impoverished than allow Unions to demand productive work environments of the employer and the employee. You make a company millions and you’d think the least they can do is allow you to sit at the bargaining table when it comes to your livelihood aka life. FOX apparently doesn’t want that for the American People.
Are you kidding me? Some Unions are greedy, sure, but the main problem in this country was that many businesses were deregulated, and their greed took off after that. I am not Union myself, but I am not so blind to see that when their benefits started slipping, so did mine. The insurance industry is not even regulated by anti-trust regulations! Turn off FOx and start getting into the real world!
Union is just another name for Communist. A we all know Communisim is evil and bad for freedom loving Americans who support the Constitution. This kind of propaganda by unions is devisive and harmful to all Americans and our Country…..but that is what these pro-communist unions want, to destroy America, and so far they have done a good job so far. People are really getting sick of the BIG MASSIVE GREEDY UNIONS destroying America with unreasonable demands!It is time to break all unions!
Its the rich powerful corporations against the worker bees. If we all went on strike until things changed we would have the power but people are too scared to do that!

ma2jh…unions didn`t ruin the economy…blind corporate greed did and we all know it!!!When you see your bosses son driving around in a brand new Viper take stock in the fact that the $52 dollars a week he just deducted from his 100 employees just paid for it.NOT HIM!!! All the while he`s screaming that he`s bleeding while the whole time he`s trying to figure out how to take another $20 a week of everyone because his golf club membership just went up!!!!Greed in motion feeds on itself…
BANK OF AMERICA IS THE MOST CORRUPT BANK IN THE COUNTRY!. Bank of America harassed me, ruined my credit, charged me over $800 in fees over a 10 day period, tried to humiliate me, and never stopped calling my house- all because of $50 overdraft!!
In one day I was charged over $250 in overdraft fees because of a company that took advantage of my bank account- BofA charges more fees than any bank in the World!
GO UNION!!!
Beautiful! I have been union all my life . . . . and I ain’t young!
I love this video!
union workers are not Teamplayers!!!!!!!!!
Also don’t forget in the right to work state they can fire you for any reason they want too…
Like when someone in your family gets sick and they fire you because they don’t want their insurance rates to go up next year…
Yup just walk in the door and say your fire…
There’s nothing you can do about other then leave like a slave.
The right to work state means someone that isn’t sick has the right to work…
unions ruined the economy.
I agree … i work in a hospital that is unionized … and they pay me 12$ more an hour to an independent contractor …..
i won’t say anything about how lazy the folks i work with are …. nor will i mention how un skilled they are …. but i will mention this ……
because they have unionized … the hospital is on the brink of bankruptcy….
they pay me extra bc i’m not affiliated with a union contract …. the employees there think they deserve a job ……
This is very expensive, well produced, and entertaining tripe, attempting to reinforce the liberal class envy plank to promote more union infiltration of our diminishing manufacturing base. The actor and production quality are top notch. Thank you Mr. Sauros.
I worked for this guy once! He’s still out there!
