Like I said before these GOP wanabees can only call names and say degrading remarks but the joke is on you because I don’t believe you or Michael have enough money to be a real Rep. When they through you away because you really don’t fit in you’ll be crying again.

He was pointing out that the reason why companies go bankrupt is due to UNIONS

Lets look Gm and Chrysler bankrupt due to UNIONS
US Steel and 9 other large companies bankrupt die to UNIONS.
Wonder Bakery bankrupt die to Unions
Do you need more examples???

Obviously you haven’t done any research. There are documentaries and lots of written material that can tell you what ruined the companies you mentioned. Take the time to actually research it. It wasn’t unions that killed them.

In my 46 years in the working world, never once met anyone who proclaimed him/herself an expert who truly was

I’ve lived in the same area for over 30 years and watched multiple companies close or relocate their manufacturing to other countries. Trucking companies didn’t fail due to unions — some were nonunion — they failed because of deregulation. Shipping by truck didn’t get any cheaper whether a failed company was union or nonunion. Most of the nonunion clothing manufacturers sold out to other countries as did a well-known furniture manufacturer. Of all the companies that didn’t make it or chose to leave the U.S., very few of them were union. Unions don’t kill companies. Poor management and greedy stockholders do.

Gee union membership has fallen from 30% to under 10. You think that’s by accident?? Even the public knows that unions kill companies. All manufacturing left the US for 1 reason and 1 reason only pay and benefits. The driver of those escalating costs are unions, govt regulation and trial lawyers

There are many reasons for companies and institutions going bankrupt, a case in point is the Post Office. Technology and new concepts made them obsolete, they failed to adapt, and they are paying a heavy price. Lousy investments, such as the ones made by GM (think Vauxhall), unprofitable product lines, ineffective quality control, poor customer service, and lavish salaries and benefits paid to the upper echelon had a lot more to do with their financial problems than paying assembly line workers a livable wage.

…or…at least that’s what the wingnut propagandists on Fox have tricked your dumbed downed azz into parroting on message boards like a good little dittohead.

If its a viable business it was BUILT by a republican

hmmm reading comprehension is something your not good at

It couldn’t been an assembly plant they were all robotized in the 80′s. You must have been in at an Delphi plant, those plants didn’t need any modernization. They were low skill jobs paying $30 a hour.
I also worked with GM plants and I can tell you the plant managers all claimed their largest quality improvement happened AFTER they installed a breathalyzer machine in all the plants.

That’s what the plutocrats have in mind for America. They want the same system that they have in Mexico, a ruling class and the rabble. Their entire ideology and agenda is geared towards achieving this, hence the hostility towards unions, social responsibility, quality education etc. they wont be happy until they have crushed the non rich into serfdom.

The reason why companies go bankrupt if s UNOINS…

Biggest load of BS!!!!!!! since Reagan/F***enomics

UNIONS do not cause companies to go bankrupt, the OVERPAID excutives that make money on UNION employees backs are the cause of the bankruptcy, UNIONS only want a piece of the pie Management want the whole thing, they want the money, but DO NOT want to share it. I’ve been in both Union and non-union environments, been a union president and my manager was the management negotiator. Everything can be worked out if you are willing to work together, to many TOP MANAGERS don’t want to give up anything to support the backs that put them there!

That’s bull. If you look at it the Unions were always building bridges and hospitals, federal buildings, etc. That’s right all the big projects. The only reasons the unions went sour are the wrong people had their fingers in the till with help of the Pols. Big business allowed it all to happen when they realized how much of a threat they had become to their fat wallets. It interfered with their individual wealth and their political power. While they made money off it it was a no brainer. Let’s face it a politician had no protection against taking orders from a mobster. It was either obey or decay. I can remember the Unions being such a great organization. Had 2 brothers in a Plumbers Local. Never out of work and made good money. Put their children’s through school. Had a home. Unfortunately they were not collared by any politicians.

Calling two states with some of the largest concentrations of private enterprise communist highlight how illogical and desperate union opponents are.

Unfortunately, no. However, I did retain a young outlook until in my late 30s. In other words, I was immortal and now my body has been repaying me for all the things I did then.

Unions can’t fire!?!?!? Well, William, what do you call it when a union rep holds a paper in front of and tells you “sign or you are fired” & when you do not sign he walks over to the time clock, pulls your card, & clocks you out or (at another job) when a union rep goes to the time clock, pulls some cards, clocks out those who are on the clock, and then goes into the boss’s office to let him have the time cards so he would know who had been fired?

Perhaps unions can’t come into YOUR work place without the majority of the workers voting them in BUT there was no election, at least none that the workers at the shop where I was making $3.51 and refused to accept union scale of $2.50 knew about, and the union rep did fire any worker who did not sign up.

When I worked at Safeway (a new store in Alaska with nearly half the workers, union, brought up from outside by management) the union made a big announcement inviting everyone to a party. At said party they had an election, much to the surprise of the few non-union people who had attended, and all the union people voted to unionize the 2 Alaskan Safeway stores. Two weeks later a number of us who had refused to sign up discovered that we had no time cards when we came to work and the manager apologized and told us that the union would not allow any non-union workers. Yes there was a vote and the majority did vote for union BUT very few of the non-union workers were present and only 2 of them voted for a union and the votes for union totaled less than half of the workers at the store.

I have seen many cases where the union was invited in by management so that they could have tighter control over the workers. For instance, the supermarket employees in the Midwestern town where I went to high school did vote to be union because of their erratic work hours and the union promised them that they would have 40 hours & stable shifts. Yep, that they did. Before union they were at work 8.5 hours for 8 hours pay (half hour lunch and 2 10 minute breaks) and under union rules over 12 hours would pass between initial clock in and final clock off for 8 hours pay because of a couple of 1 to 3 hours off the clock sessions during the day. The only thing that was stable was their clock in and clock off for the day times.

I am puzzled why you call me a corrupt deputy because I refused to pay union initiation and dues for 5 non-existent employees. I consider those union reps who attacked me by trying to force my semi off the road extremely lucky that I did not administer a bit of street justice (considered a good thing in the 1950s) and I must admit that I was very tempted to treat them properly and put them in the hospital instead of just charging them with attempted murder when they crawled out of their car. The Sheriff & DA decided not to charge them with murder but with assault. They agreed that it would look bad if they let it be known that some people tried to kill a deputy and all of them were still alive and well. I was chewed out for being too soft on the Teamster hoods by both the Sheriff and the DA.

I don’t intend to start a career as a fiction writer but I have been embarrassed more than once by fiction writers. For instance, I had to live down Eastwood’s “Go ahead, make my day.” because 50 plus years ago I used to face down tough guys who tried to give me a hard time by holstering my sidearm, with the safety strap undone, and say “Go ahead, make me happy.” Yes, Dirty Harry’s line was better. Not one one was dumb enough to decide to accept my offer, die, and thereby save the taxpayers a lot of money.
