    Intimidation isn't just the threat of physical harm. It's the threat of being socially ostracized; economically ruined; or having the government employees you pay for threatening unspecified boycots of business and possibly government service unless you give them more money .
    Social ostracism *i.e. peer pressure* is "thuggery" now? Are you even listening to yourself?

    "thug" is not a synonym for obnoxious or annoying. It is a synonym for violent criminality. Boycotts are perfectly legal and they don't generally connote violent action.

    You really need to either start paying attention, or stop lying. You've been told two or three times so far in this thread *with citations* that public union membership has been up! Private unions are down, public are doing quite well for themselves.
