I suggest you find another job. I don't know anyone who has not had
some kind of raise in the last few years and several over the last 10
years.
Maybe it is time you moved on, your particular company is screwing you
and has you convinced it is that way for everyone.
That is simply not true.


pbuharic would rather soak in the pity, or full of BS. Mind you, with
the pity me attitude, maybe that is why he doesn't get a raise.

Certainly there are, they cover teachers,


7% of american workers are covered by unions. there are no unions in
the US. as the 'economist' magazine pointed out last month, the US has
the most anti-union work environment of 30 industrialized countries


Do you read your posts for fundimental rationality?

You say 7% of Amercians are union yet you say no unions exist in the
same sentance.

Have another drink **** for brains.

And that is a good thing.


Since 1950 the unions have succeded in two areas, corruption and killing
jobs.


No argument there.

and how did wall street do in the last 3 years? number of jobs
created? none.

pay increases to the middle class? none

unemployment? 8,000,000 jobs lost

thanks wall street!


About 90,000,000 jobs. And think, the taxpayer didn't pay for any of them.

More like 20,000,000 but who is counting.

How many jobs did GM bailout create? Zero. They were long gone jobs.
Plenty a UAW/CAW out of work. Because people didn't need nor want their
over priced crap. So keep a GM, loose a Ford job...corruption.

Unions need a leash.

All the so-called union corruption from 1950 to the present day does not
add up to a large percentage of corporate corruption since 1980.

let me type this slowly so you, a right winger, can understand:

THE MIDDLE CLASS HAS NOT HAD A REAL INCREASE IN WAGES IN A DECADE...

OK get that?

middle class

no real wage increase

in 10 years

now, then, how many ways can i repeat that so even you understand?
unless you think the ENTIRE middle class is composed ONLY of me....

then you have to admit that's a problem

And that is a good thing.

The unions largely just priced themselves out of the market for any
job that could be exported. That is why the only unions that survive
nationally are government unions.


uh no. if that were the case then the germans would be in worse shape
than we are. 80% of their economy is export related, and their level
of unionization is FAR greater than ours.

more right wing bull****


The Germans do not demand the kind of things American unions have
demanded. They are also holding the Greek's feet to the fire for the
stupid things their workers have negotiated for.


the germans have ALOT more vacation time than we do. they have ALOT
better unemployment insurance than we do. and it's a meaningless
statement to say that american unions have 'demanded' something the
germans havent

the fact is that

1. the rich have destroyed labor unions
2. the middle class wants to think of itself as 'professional' so
hates labor unions

THAT'S why there are no unions here


You also have a far more frugal society in Germany. They actually have
private savings, beyond what the pension plans save for them.


which has zip to do with labor unions. and americans have no pensions,
either.

see a pattern here? americans

-no wage increase in 10 years
-no pension
-work harder than any other industrialzed country
-rotten unemployment insurance
-no health insurance if you lose your job

and no labor unions...

gee....wonder if there's a connection

hey genius....7% means zip.

tell me which political party had 7% of the vote last year. 7% means
no power at all. none.

gee. 100M people at the beach

well, i suppose if you're right wing, you HAVE to invent SOME idiotic

If these people did not have any personal savings and they spent
significantly more than they made, I blame them too.


and if the middle class hasnt had a real wage increase in 10 years,
you have to invent SOME idiotic reason it's their fault...


BTW where do you get that 100m number you keep throwing around as
fact? If I believe the definition of middle class that was established
here ($100k to $200k) the total number of households is more like 13
million.


there are about 110M wage earners in this country. the middle class
generally is the middle 20-80%
