    MUST WATCH: TINKLBERG ON UNION CARD CHECK

    By Michael B. Brodkorb | July 8, 2008

    Minnesotans for Employee Freedom have caught Elywn Tinklenberg on camera talking about his support for union card check.  In the video, Tinklenberg seems to leave rather quickly when asked follow-up questions about intimidation.

      You can’t exactly claim he “seems to leave rather quickly when asked follow-up questions about intimidation” when you cut the video off half sentence in his response.

      He’s a Democrat. He supports coercion and force.

      They cut him off because he spoke the truth- The intimidation is by the employer.

      I love it. Keep working for that union vote Republicans while you keep shipping those jobs overseas and now to South America. Good-bye Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Hello Columbia, India and Tahiti.

      Riiight DJZ. No union has ever employed any intimidation tactics to achieve their goals. Ever.

      If he wanted to make a point, he should not have run away from further questions.

      As a member of a Union I don’t think anyone at my workplace should be seeing how I voted. That is private and no ones business, and that includes co-workers, the union and my employer.

      I really don’t see how the right to a private vote has anything to do with employer intimidation anyway.

      What I find interesting is that there is no good defense for Card Check so if it wasn’t for the opposition to it putting up ads, then no one except Democrats and Union Officials would have known this was part if a Bill.

      Sneaky and underhanded, typical Socialist crap. Eh Comrade DJZ?

      el presidente again points out that MBB/MDE has misspelled EL (Elywn) TINKLENBERG’S name incorrectly in upper case, red, letters, yet again.

      el presidente for his new found amgio EL TINKLENBERG

      the thing i never hear from unions is why there is an objection to determining if a union will represent workers by holding a secret ballot?

      do they claim the elections are rigged? neither an employer or union can influence individual voters as long as it is a secret ballot and fairly held.

      am i not understanding something here? is the card check just to have an election or to actually determine union representation?

      MBB - Perhaps WordPress has the spell check feature where you are able to “add words” such as the Dutch name “Tinklenberg.”

    10. el presidente Says:

      Perhaps it is not Dutch. It does not end in -ma, or contain Van, etc. I know he was raised in a Dutch Community.

      My question is a simple one about the posing from the left. Are the lefty bloggers suffering from ADD, Mental deficiency from being dropped on their heads as children, flashbacks from too many Greatful Dead concerts or are they just paid to change the subject by some wealthy European/Socialist investor like George Soros?

      I’m too young for the Dead and you are going to loose this election. Your 2004 tactics are so tired.

      Tinkles has no shot against the ATTRACTIVE Michele Bachmann:)

      The “Minnesotans for Employee Freedom” brought up intimidation first, and Tinklenberg countered as that troll tried to complete his hit.

      Guess where this stalwart, grassroots organization posts its video and comments like this: “They are doing the bidding of the Washington union special interests”?

      Washington-based union buster.

      MBB/MDE STILL hasn’t spelled Tinklenberg correctly.
