Modern Day Union Thuggery

There is a modern type of union thuggery afoot, and Protect Colorado's Future is promoting it.

They don't much like the Right to Work initiative, so they are trying to do anything they can to stop it.  That includes promoting the creation of an employment situation in Colorado that is much like the situation in France.  In France, young people aren't hired because it is nearly impossible to fire them to meet the needs of the business.

Assume that their "just cause" initiative passes and you are looking for a job.  Would you be hired by an employer if that employer knew that he could never fire you if business turned down?  He would be better off not hiring anyone in Colorado and shipping the job to another state than run the risk that he must pay you even if he has no work for you.

As with many left wing causes, Protect Colorado's Future isn't above lying about what their initiative does:

The Colorado Just Cause initiative will help protect Colorado employees by having companies simply explain their reasons for firing employees.

The initiative does much more than "having companies simply explain their reasons for firing employees."  It lists acceptable reasons, and a business downturn isn't one of them.  If an employer discharges an employee because he has no work for him, the employee can get his job back with back pay and attorneys fees.  That thuggish provision has the potential to put every small business in Colorado out of business and will send bigger companies to other states. 

Their tactics against Right to Work include this jewel:

The unions have, as we reported earlier this week, a push poll operation going against these three amendments.  And they are complaining about a campaign of fraud and deception?
