Oh SAVE us Unions, save us.

LOL


The unions have already done quite a bit to
"save" you.

Do you enjoy weekends off?
Paid vacation?
Health insurance?
Reasonable access to address on-the-job grievances or some avenue of appeal for

unfair personnel decisions by your employer?
Do you enjoy a company retirement plan?
Is there on-the-job training available to you to help you advance in your
career and improve your skills?

Here's a flash for you: None of these things, taken for granted by most
American workers, were awarded as a result of the overwhelming generosity and
human kindness of the business community.

Why are conservatives so eager to see unions disbanded? So the take backs can
begin and we'll all wind up working for crap wages, no benefits, and expected
to put in a few hours here and there "off the clock" like at the Walton
Foundation's retail front.
:-(

As long as you are sure you're going to be one of the "haves," who gives a
Schlitz about the growing chasm between the
workers and management, right? Getting the unions out of the way is the best
way to see that the workers "get what they've really had coming all along."

One of the problems with the British capital economic model that the
conservatives are clamoring for is that a *ferocious* division between classes
would
develop here, just as it has in countries where the British capital economic
model prevails.

A hard working individual should be able to get ahead in life, not constantly
cut off at the pass because of his pedigree.
