Point of Order: Unions And Their Members Give Back To Their Communities Every Day



Organized Labor gives MORE back to their communities than most people realize. This goes on all over the country. The fact is that we just don't publicize it. There are hundreds of donations of money amounting to thousands of dollars to community, youth groups and schools. That is in addition to a massive amount of volunteer work done for the needy each year by all of the unions in the Hudson Valley and yet - you have some local people and even some politicians, who still attempt to discredit labor.

There are endless ways that we can all help each other in the Hudson Valley if we support each other.

Support the unions, support the middleclass and support good wages. The return on that support is the best investment you can make for the local community.

We help so many little leagues, churches, senior citizens and families that are down and out and are happy to do it!

And why is it that those generous souls of the unions need a 10% tax break in NY, on their property taxes, that the rest of us pay to support their salaries and benefits?

See letter to the Editor in todays Freeman re Assembly bill to give a 10% property tax break to Public Service Unions in NY, give me a break!

You should join a union. Your non union single person lobby of one isn't working for you it seems.

I don't know why they are proposing a 10% decrease in their property taxes. Maybe there is more to that story. Or it is what is needed just to retain people to continue to serve jackasses like you.
