union greed? hard working americans....he says are greedy

I have briefly been unionized three times. I have had to work with a
union from the outside as a contractor.

Unions suck for productivity. The only good use they have is in say
teachers. Get an irate parent, a knee jerk politician and they try to
fire a teacher for doing the right thing. There, unions are good.

But when it comes to being real about wages and benefits, they need to
be neutered. Union wages and benefits are far too greedy. Add in
productivity losses for stupidness. Need to have an electrician move a
stupid plug in power cord kind of crap.

With governments unions should be limited to protecting unscrupulous and
ruthless sociopath politicians from screwing with low on the poll types.

but the wall street managers who got us here?

Mine didn't.

he ignores them. THEY trashed the economy. but they're rich...

Funny, I am worth more today than ever before. You should have hired a
better manager.

USD is loosing purchasing power. Means unions will strike soon. Does
not mater how you look at it, this is going to get ugly.

there are no unions in the US. they're dead. only wall street is left

They are dying because society can no longer afford the waste. Some
grade 12 flunky isn't worth more than $15/hr at GM. If a person wants
more, get an education in something other than basket weaving or bu11sh1t!

Why are some of these clowns so afraid of a tiny minority of American
workers??

Because like GM, they used the tax system to screw people for their own
greed. Business has ZERO rights from bailouts using the taxpayer funded
debt or moneys. Just GREED on the unions part. Selfish basters expect
it is ok to pick other peoples pockets using government is the problem.
They used to call ti corruption.

That is why I refuse to buy GM/Chrysler/CAW/UAW ever again. I don't
feed the hands of those that bite me.
