I would like to thank the union idiots who dealt a blow to the working man by pulling ammendment 55. Companies require a 2 week notice to quit ,but fire or let go at will. Again you guys have shown no backbone, maybe you should have let the voters decide. you wonder why people don't like useless unions. Good way to grow the unions

Whether you agree with the principle of Amendment 47, that all employees in the state of Colorado should be free to access gainful employment without being forced to join or pay money to a union, I think we all can agree that the tactics employed by organized labor this year are disgusting and unethical.

So, first, business groups get 47 on the ballot. In clear retaliation, organized labor puts 53, 55, 56, and 57 on the ballots. Even union officials and union-backers agree these "poison pills" really have no useful purpose, and are there only as a punishment or counter-attack against business in Colorado. Now, labor agrees to exchange withdrawing the poison pill Amendments in exhchange for money to fight Amendment 47. I call that extortion.

You are so out of touch. 47 is a lie! stop being led like a lamb to slaughter.
A vote for 47 is a vote for lower pay and sweat shop working conditions. 47 is anti family and un -American.
