Wow. Unions created the middle class. The group that fund America, I believe. Unions were created to fight tyranny from the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Morgan's that ruled the country, and enforced they're employment policies with the guns and clubs of private armies.
We could always go back to that, and are well on our way, with the likes of right to work policies, and union bashing to get these laws passed.
If you want to harp on the Hoffas, and uaw as your example, fine. When your kids are being taught by min wage teachers, your car being built by Chinese children, and your home built by kids dropped out of school to help support their families, the term crashing down around you will have new meaning to you.


I, we, you, will not be in the ruling class. Your businesses will be taken over, run out of business. Bought out, or forced out by the new batch of egomaniacs intent on ruling the country. Then we can stand together at the food line and reminisce about the good old days when unions at least could a person a job making a "living wage".

Unions are the golden goose.

Very stupid move to turn down help in such a tragic disaster. I feel bad for the citizens that would have benefited. There have to be plenty of other cities run by politicians who will stand up and speak out. I'd love to see union bosses interviewed on TV on this one. Can't imagine what they could possibly think of saying.

We're the no-union workers offered to organize? If they wanted to help, and the locals could use the help seams logical.

If they organized into a union, they would have to immediately go on break.

Nice play.

What I make is middle middle class, plus health insurance, and a collapsing pension. No dental, no eye care.

I'm not crying, I have a job.

My point if view, on unions, comes from the fact that a nonunion employee, doing the same thing makes a little more than half of what I make, no benefits included. The cost of buying those benefits would almost equal their pay.

I guess the countless food drives, toys for tots, donated labor and material to fix shelters, and habitat for humanity hours donated are never getting into the union bashing threads.

Have a good night,
