So. Let's extend the 'good' you're playing fast and loose with here.So are you saying that the Union saved Imus' job as well? Unions are to blame for all the good, and none of the bad?
Second of all, are you willing to concede that all television and on air personalities must be union members because they have made a closed shop?
Why, I am only acknowledging the fact that labor unions protect the rights of drug addicts like Imus and Limbo. From the lowly janitor to network icons, unions will protect the rights of drug addicts to remain employed
Imus did not get fired for his drug addiction. He got fired for being a racist......even Unions do not want to defend racists
There is no law that says a person can't work if convicted of drug related issues if no crime was convicted. Racism isn't a crime. Drug use is an illness apparently so it's not a crime.
Limbaugh could not have been prevented from having a job because he is, for the most part, his own company. Although if he WAS fired, he would be able to start his own again. All these personalities, with real talent can land elsewhere to work fairly easily. That's why shitballs like Olberman and Couric will not be out of the public eye for long. They can find a gig with someone else.
This is a lie to say the union did a thing for Limbaugh. Same goes for Imus being fired for being a racist as you freely admit, they won't protect racists... which into itself makes them just as bad philosophically. To some degree, it's why I have at least an ounce of respect for the ACLU in some cases.
What a blatant LIE
Limbaugh would never make the money he makes without the Union looking out for him
I hear they even got him a good dental plan and a union discount on Oxycontin
