The Unemployed Now Have Their Own Union, and It's Catching on Quickly | Economy | AlterNet

Quote:

It's been only a month that a union for the unemployed has come into existence through an ingenious grassroots organizing campaign. In case you haven't heard about it, the union's name is "UR Union of the Unemployed" or its nickname, "UCubed,"

UCubed is the brain-child of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), whose leaders feel that the millions of unemployed workers need a union of their own to join in the struggle for massive jobs programs.

The idea is that if millions of jobless join together and act as an organization, they are more likely to get Congress and the White House to provide the jobs that are urgently needed. They can also apply pressure for health insurance coverage, unemployment insurance and COBRA benefits and food stamps. An unemployed worker is virtually helpless if he or she has to act alone.

Joining a Cube is as simple as it is important. (Please check the union web site: www.unionofunemployed.com). Six people who live in the same zip code address can form a Ucube. Nine such UCubes make a neighborhood. Three neighborhood UCubes form a power block that cntains 162 activists. Politicians cannot easily ignore a multitude of power blocks, nor can merchants avoid them.

Is it the best idea? They get taxed exempt from ObamaCARE + free monthly Obama unemployment check + anything else that EMPLOYED unions received. America is GREAT !

It's getting better and better every day.

Without Obama's high unemployment rate, our unemployed union won't exist.

We should all just stop working. We can not only go on unemployment but our Unemployed Union can get us good raises; how high our "salary" goes doesn't really matter as we'll just be borrowing the money from China and whoever else is good enough to lend us money we can never pay back. I wonder how long we could drag that con game out ?

Obama will guarantee our unemployed unions get everything AS LONG AS we vote for him and democrats. Obama gives us an idea that you don't have to have a job to join an union.

Obama is Great !

He is our savior.

This is classic.
