Blue collar workers need a raise too....cops, teachers, state and government workers get raises. By God I'm sick of this crap! You pay $500 for a set of tires...you expect the workers to get a decent wage!

the locked out employees shouldn't have gotten unemployment like they did(they chose not to take the offer... they declined the job they weren't let go) little bitches should suck it up and find another job. have a nice day

Funny to me that these people are talking about how bad it is in there while all along the are standing out there trying to get back in And this couple saying they both work there and their kids are suffering looks like to me they should be out looking for a job instead of standing out by the street wishing they were back in

Thank you manuecat** I wish more people would open their eyes get rid of your union vote on that!!

Why would anyone fight so hard for a job that causes you to sweat black shit out of your pores? Answer, because of human greed. There are millions of people out of work, and these folks picking are crying more, more, more. Then they get locked out and cry that the so called scabs (folks who have no job and need to support their familys too) are stealing there jobs. Quit being greedy, be happy with what you have. Unions are shit (i was in one) they protect useless greedy people.
