LENO PROUD TO SAY “THIS IS A UNION SHOW.”


In Jay Leno's tearful farewell on his final show, he praised the people he worked with and said he was proud that it was a union show and that members of the staff were the most professional people he has ever worked with. He noted that the well-paid unionized workers were able to buy nice houses and nice cars.

I can imagine that was the point when conservatives started tearing up.

don't watch reality TV or Tyler Perry as they are union busters. There are a lot more, but that is a start. Reality tv has absolutely decimated the industry. So when you ask yourself, why do they keep making all these crap shows? It's union busting plain and simple. Unions for both actors and crew. Watch well-made dramas, thrillers, or movies instead. Pass it on.
