please don`t feel bad for the bakers. in 2003 they crossed the delivery drivers picket line, causing 30 men with families to lose their jobs. these bastards are simply experiencing karma. how sweet it is! i think i`ll go have a breakfast treat and get ready to go to work tomorrow! ha, ha! remember when you walked past our picket line and we begged you not to cross it? revenge is sweet!

[jackriter]

Damn, I'm only an hour away... I should go on strike tommorow in solidarity :P

[TheAngryCanuck]

$18 for unskilled manual labor is too much and is part of the problem. Many from our Universitites aren't getting that much let alone finding jobs.

Please explain why they have a 'right' or 'deserve' $18 an hour.

It's never a positive to have a gang get together and price fix their wages because if enough people do it, it will mess up the country.

I seriously wonder if you could think your way out of a wet paper bag. The funny thing is you don't even have a clue as to how ignorant you are and how little you know about the world around you. Ignorance must be bliss, because you look pretty happy. Don't you have some Mexicans to hate?

[olimpiot]

thank you for your support and spreading the word

[wizkid2000]

So now you are a racist if you ask a question? I'm Mexican, please explain to me, why workers are owed a specific salary?

And if you were in charge, what would you do? put guns to there heads to make them comply with your wishes?

[buddhagem]

Wiz: You may not be familiar with the AngryCanuck but he regularly makes videos complaining about "Mexicans" and "immigrants" and that is what the comment was directed at.

As to your question, I address it in numerous other videos. I want to abolish the wage system; that's been a goal of American labor for a long time. In the meantime we push to get wages as close to their actual value as possible.

No violence is necessary, really. In this case, good consumer education has went a long way.

Stella D'Oro Breakfast Treats. YOU CAN HAVE 'EM ANYTIME!!

[wizkid2000]

9 months? Maybe there previous salary is no longer sustainable in this deep recession. Why are they owed this salary? If they were really worth what they are demanding why doesn't another baked good producer hire them? If Stella D'Oro is just being evil and trying to maximize profits, why cant the workers start there own cookie company and keep these profits for themselves?

[soulja4lyfe]

its not about profit, its about exploitation and thats what the cookie company is doing or trying to do.

[wizkid2000]

Of course it about money, that's what there dispute is about. How are they being exploited? Why are the own a particular salary?

[LIProgressiveNews]

Simple. Hard working people deserve to get paid for their work!

[wizkid2000]

The work contract is a simple one between employee and employer... each is free to enter it and each is free to leave it.... if both sides don't have this freedom then what you have is slavery.

[jackriter]

I can see why you would say that, from the looks of you it appears you've been the #1 customer for the cookie company.

[wizkid2000]

Very intelligent comment. Could you be resorting to calling me fat because your clueless on how to answer my questions.
