Why I don't Buy Boating/Fishing Gear at Wal-Mart
My guess is that most of those who slam unions in their posts here would not qualify for any skilled union craft job in the building or manufacturing trades, and resent the fact that many union craft workers earn solidly middle class incomes. I recall some final year electrician apprentices I met in San Francisco, including a young woman who already had a college degree and was working as an accountant before joining up with the union. She's now working as a control motor installer at $75,000 a year, straight time. And is worth every penny. Hypocrisy, Hairball, you are the one who bought a Jap motor instead of a union-made USA motor. |

"""Hypocrisy, Hairball, you are the one who bought a Jap motor instead of

You bought an offshore product (that is made here by local brotherhoods)???? LOL, Harry your all over the place, your so far behind you think your first. If your not already, your gonna have to give your head a shake over this one. "Christopher Robin" wrote in message om...

Don't forget, that Japanese motor is bolted to a non-union made boat that sits on a non-union made trailer that is pulled by a non-union made Toyota Tundra. |

He's a union member, so buying union-made might be a conflict of interest? (I'm trying to help rationalize this for you, Harry, but there's no good explanation I guess). |

The more he can cause the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, the more he'll be able to complain about outsourcing. Makes sense to me!

Harry,
It sounds like you desire to get the boat you want, overrides your desire to buy unionmade. Most people do agree with you. Is Mercruiser union made? If not, at least they are made in America by Americans. Why did you buy a imported motor? Aren't you the one who said the quotes listed below. The only question I have did Yamaha make reparations to those forced into slave labor camps? (The following was retrieved by typing in author Harry Krause subject Japanese. Somehow I knew Harry was a hypocrite.) "You just keep waving your Rising Sun flag. Me, I'm waiting to see how many billions in reparations the Japanese corporations will cough off to pay off those they forced into slave labor camps during WW II. The Germans paid up. The Japanese never coughed up a dime. Their payments are due. -- Harry Krause" "I prefer the Mitsubishi label, reminds me of the A6M-Zero-Sen, that wonderful product used with great effectiveness at Pearl Harbor and then later in those heroic Kamikaze attacks. " Please. There's a long list of war atrocities committed by the Japanese against civilians. If you want a single reference, just check out the Rape of Nanking. About 300,000 Chinese civilians were slaughtered by the Emperor's troops in less than two months. There are many who feel Japan has never been contrite enough over its crimes against humanity. " "There has been some serious talk about forcing Japan and Japanese corporations to pay compensation to those who were forced to work as slave laborers for the "Empire" during World War II. Some of the German corporations recently agreed to compensate those who were forced into slavery on its behalf during World War II." What a fab idea. He can have a bronze plaque placed on it, stating: "From the wonderful folks who brought you Pearl Harbor." It looks to me that this Harry guy is a complete farce and is just jerking everyones chain. My guess is he shops at Wal-Mart every weekend. I can see him wearing a shirt that says "I'm with stupid" and an arrow pointing to his fat wife wearing purple shorts. Both of them waddling up and down the aisles looking for Chinese products to buy. "NOYB" wrote in message om... "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...
