Another republican!


Are you using "republican" as a synonym of "informed"? You seem to be.


No, uninformed about reality would be a better descriptor than what
you use. You guys still don't (won't) get it, will you?

Ones that would be allowed to proliferate if no unions were present.
How about 14 hour work days with no breaks for starters?


Are you saying that without unions we'd have 14 hour work days with no
breaks? Even if that was so, how would it be unfair?



I really don't believe that someone who is as learned as you appear to be
would
ask that question.


How else can I know what you believe are unfair management practices?



Check a history book if you want to know more.


Do you know of any history books that agree with your position?




Outrageous! You don't even deserve the courtesy of this reply!

true.

What prevents unions from abusing the workers or the company?

Unfortunately, the workers themselves must hold the union management
to task. Doesn't work in some instances which seems to be a
commonality within the human race - - - greed!

Millions and millions of jobs have left this country due to union
mis-management and greed. For some reason the unions don't mention that
fact.


Greed on whose part? Are you saying you'll pay $75 for your shirts
rather than $4.99 at Wal Mart? We're all in the same boat, bunky.
Management's job is to find ways to make this work.


I believe I said greed on the part of unions.
And the solution is to move union manufacturing jobs out of country.
Take a look at union membership numbers for the past 30 years.


Precisely my point. Maybe you are starting to get it!

Congrats!

Unless because this person had to feed the family and a businessman
was able to get him at half the price because although he was a master
of his trade, he wasn't learned in the art of business. If the
tradesman tries to get ahead, they have to strike. They end the
strike when the businessman gives his word to make thing right. If
the businessman needs to get ahead he can slowly screw everyone else
to death.

Now years ago the unionized folks made an agreement with management
that they're reneging on with the infamous bankruptcy. Who cares
about the reason they're skipping. The ****in' pension was part of
the employment package, read: the salary. The company owes it to the
people and bankruptcy shouldn't wipe the obligation away. If the
current and past crop of MBAs were looking at jail time for this
crime, I'll just bet that it wouldn't have happened.

Grow up!

No, I don't think you can sympathize, unless you've lost everything
you have worked for your future. Again, they only have themselves to
blame for their plight. The fact that they trusted the word of a
bunch of scumbags that had no right to gamble the way they did got
them in trouble. Same could be said about marriage ;-)


The primary reasons that people are against unions is because the
general population has grown from tradesmen to management. As
managers, unions keep you honest and hence become the enemy. Get off
your ass and go down into a section of the country where there are
real workers and see what the thoughts of unions are there. Once
again, we have people claiming others talk out of their ass, when they
actually have no ass themselves.

How can a business man screw is worker. All the worker has to do is quit and
get another job. Pretty simple.

There will always be a need for the real worker. Skilled labor is getting
very rare. I had to pay some of my machinists over 100k a year. It was tuff
to keep them they would get many job offers.

In the airline business? Supposedly, Northwest was able to hire their
replacements because so much down sizing had occurred in the industry.
