What does "productivity in the manufacturing sector was 26% between
2000-2007" mean. Do you mean there was a 26% in crease in productivity
in the manufacturing sector between 2000 and 2007?

Yes.

The individual worker cannot take credit for the robot's productivity.
The individual worker needs to be measured individually to determine
whether that individual worker has increased their productivity.

Tell that to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Geez, you can go through
all sorts of gymnastics to avoid the issue. Productivity has increased
20% in the non-farm business sector, 26% in the manufacturing sector, and
wages have increased 1-3% depending on who you listen to. It's not a
difficult concept, wages have not kept up with productivity.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.


Outstanding performers are taken care of, those who just show up and do
enough to get a paycheck should work for someone else.

Horse****!

If the entire line is replaces all of the workers with robots is there a
100% productivity increase? In this day and age the productivity
increases are due to improvements in process and technology.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

You can't be classified as poor when you have a cellphone, cable TV and
two cars in the driveway.

Why. If a guy comes to work on your house which one do you want doing
the work? The outstanding performer or the guy who just kind of barely
gets it done, if it needs five nails he may only put in four but thats
ok it should hold just fine.

You have an assembly line, all your workers are keeping up, how do you
tell who is the "outstanding" worker?

Work in that line for a while then ask again... I have a union card, I
have worked for me and the lazy slob next to me who is protected by
the union... Some of those guys weren't worth 5 cents an hour...

Tell me- out of curiosity.

Are you for "merit" pay for teachers?

On what basis is "merit" being determined, and who makes the determination?

Conservaspeak.
GOPers see the union movement as not only a natural constituency of the
Dem Party, but also as one of the major—actually, the only large major
organized relatively-progressive movement in the United States. And,
they need to get rid of that if they are going to get power.*

Have you ever noticed that liberals, when asked a specific question, will
ignore the question, change the subject, or resort to personal insults -
rather than answer the question.
