LMAO!
You're particularly funny today, you fellow human-mocker. |
I bet they all watch FOX news and vote republican too.
It's our own damn fault. As a society, we want things as cheap as possible, and empolyers get away with paying people the least amount possible, and we don't care. We should stand up, as a nation, and DEMAND MORE from corporations and politicians alike. But we don't. *sigh* |
Psssst...union.

And now we are getting screwed as the unions get a gift, if it passes in the final Bill.

A union is a self-defeating organization.
It starts out great, helping it's members get better working conditions etc etc etc. Then it starts out small, dues go up with no corresponding increase in service to it's members. Then contract renegotiation comes around and they have to produce something of value to the hoi polloi. So wages go up and up every year. Seniority begins kicking in. Favoritism begins at the same time. Nepotism shows up too. Eventually, wages are as high as they can get without bankrupting the company. So in order to satisfy the unsatisfiable, they begin adding time off in the form of every imaginable holiday. More breaks. More vacation. More work rules which appear to discourage anything getting done. Eventually, the members reach the top, where they are being paid top dollar for the least amount of work, they have effectively priced themselves out of any industry in which they are not unavoidable. Their bids are much too high, even though they are skilled workers (mostly) and they give good value. It's just that they're almost too good and builders and manufacturers are willing to sacrifice some of that quality for lower prices that the consumer demands. This is why every industry that has unions in it sucks. The steel industry has lost it all, automotive manufacturing is losing out to nonunion Japanese, the electronics industry is gone to China, textiles are in south america with it's abundant cheap labor and no unions and Americans are unemployed, our industrial base is gone overseas, we're overdependent on imports, the deficit goes to stratospheric levels, tax bases drop and taxes go up with the tax and spend government running wild. In my opinion, unions started out a great idea but got greedy and killed the jobs they were trying to save and protect. There is no easy way out of this hole. There may not BE a way out of this hole. I can't even suggest a hard fix. Perhaps outlawing unions and instead passing worker protection laws with some teeth as well as product safety and mandatory quality standards coupled with tariffs on imports to encourage buying domestic products. But the consumer would still pay more out of pocket for everything for a long time before things finally get better. And no one is willing to pay that price. |
