Sure you do. Do a good job, make the company money, and you'll be
rewarded. That's what I dislike about unions today. You don't have to do
a commendable job, just show up.-

which, of course, is true in fairy tales, but not in the real world.

company can make more money in korea? it'll shut down the plant

people try to unionize? they get fired

that's what i dislike about corporate america...destroying communities
in pursuit of more and more money for the ultra wealthy.

and convincing folks like you that they are your savior

All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking.

*nice summary!

I paid full working dues to my union for 25 years. I was always happy to
write the check each quarter.

I never felt more like a statistic when I worked in the union when I
was young. *I was nothing more than a drone, as were the others.
Having had some encounters with the Soviet Bloc when in my life time,
I have appreciated the fact that working under union duress was a

and working for a corporation is akin to naziism

Gee whiz, I get checks from my consulting business all month long, and
manage to get to the bank when necessary to deposit them. Y-a-w-n.

I didn't know the DNC paid weekly.

You must be working for a really small company if all the CEO has to do
is handle payroll.

It is small compared to my wife's company. My company has 40,000
employees world wide and my wife's has 200,000.

Start your own company if you don't like the way "management" is running
the one where your are an employee.

uh...meaningless, sport. the great majority of working americans work
for companies. i realize in your ayn rand world everyone is self
employed, but that's another fable you righties like to believe

Meaningless? You sure are dense. If you believe that you can do a better
job of running a company than your boss then get off your lazy ass and
start your own company and prove it. And, if you just sit there in the
lunch room bitching and whining about the boss then you are not serious
about your belief.

Does your employment contract have
a clause that says you are guaranteed lifetime employment? Oh, that's
right you don't have an employment contract.-

that's right. we americans have no protection at all.

You do not have a right to a job.

I note with amusement your answers are getting shorter. You're learning.
These right-wing morons simply are not worth much effort, and since they
play by the same rules as their loud-mouthed buddies at the health care
town halls, there's no need to "debate" them, either.

Your retorts are getting shorter because you have nothing in your quiver
but bits and pieces.

snerk

You're not worth much more than a snerk, fella. You're certainly not
worth taking seriously enough for a "debate." In fact, I doubt if you
have ever participated in a debate.

That guy who came to fix my alarm system was a nazi?

Damn. I'd never have known.

The guy who safety inspected my motorcycle works for the Texaco
station. Is he a nazi also? Or is his boss, Ross, a nazi? He's a real
nice guy.

Interesting fact about my wife. She has worked for the same company for
25 years and she will be getting two pensions from this one company.

Why working for large companies has man advantages.
