Why work when you can be a CEO and make 400 times the average employee?

America is weaker today because Unions are weaker. Look at the 50's-70's. Strong Unions, strong workforce, strong earnings. Look at today. Smashed Unions, strong Execs, poor employees.

Another incident occurred while I was a young engineer at Hewlett Packard. I scheduled a trip to perform some onsite software enhancements for a company in Virginia. Once there, I was informed that there were only certain union personnel that were authorized to "type on the keyboard" of the subject computer and they expected me to modify the software by telling this union hack what to type while standing over his shoulder.

Workers of the world unite? Andy Stern? SEIU? The Democrats are socialists who love worker's rights because it fits the socialist narrative of oppressed groups.

UNION? - NO, NOT NOW, NOT EVER!

27yrs with Delta, we enjoy a great relationship with mgmt. - Unions destroy jobs, killed the shipping industry, killed the auto industry - JUST SAY NO - don't let em destroy the airline industry as well!!!

@Victorian105 Sarcastic? Well, maybe, but I'll never tell! :-)

@TheCannonofMohammed Bring back 80 hour work weeks!?!? Please tell me your sarcastic right???

[TheCannonofMohammed]

@ToxicOdiousOne I think it is ridiculous that "good" employees can't be fired, too. Sometimes it is essential to arbitrarily fire a real good employee just to intimidate the rest into optimal performance. It works! Unions can totally foul up managements ability to legitimately intimidate their employees, and it costs the bottom line! All these unionists: MOVE TO SOCIALIST EUROPE! Leave America to those willing to work LONG and HARD for the sake of their corporate masters!

@TheCannonofMohammed It's rediculous how bad employees are protected and can't be fired.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@SpinBoldak Yes well that would be sel employment. What do you have toofer to customers of value for a price? See most aren't skilled enough to be self employed and their businesses fail. Your offering has to be desired by your customers.

America is weak because unions are obsolete. No more social engineering in the wokplace.

@ToxicOdiousOne You are so right on. Without unions and their influence, we could bring back 80 hour work weeks, GET RID OF MIN WAGE, bring back child labor (if the market demands it) and then maybe we could compete with the India's and Pakistan's of the world! Its called free market capitalism, and if people don't like it, MOVE TO RUSSIA! We (management) MUST have the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions!

[TheCannonofMohammed]

I think we have evolved as a business community to the realization that the employee is a throw-away commodity. Of course upper-management will never admit this; but what is important is having a competitive advantage even if it means utilizing the services of virtual min-wage slaves. Take, oh, say aircraft cleaners in MSP. They used to make 15 dollars an hour as union members. Post union? 9 bucks. Now? 6.50 an hour. That is competition! And if they get hurt? Fire 'em!

@ToxicOdiousOne Typical fucking yank who believes everyone who disagrees with him is a COMMUNIST. If the minimum wage was abolished you would probably make all your workers slaves tomorrow wouldnt you? Unions are still around to pretect fair working conditions and to ensure they remain there. Because government can change the laws at anytime to suit big buisness, who are the secret rulers of your country. Weekends off, min wage, holiday pay, maternity leave etc can be taken away at any time.
