slightly off the OP a bit......but you know what always kills me....
people get pissed when they hear about jobs going over seas....
then they look for who to blame....blame bush, blame romney....blame walstreet, blame the business owner, blame a rich guy....
and then the same person goes right over to walmart, or whatever big box happens to be the selling foreign-made junk at the lowest price....
Unions are supposed to a key part of the Communist Utopia, correct?
Unions are supposed to a key part of the Communist Utopia, correct? Then how come Communist China doesn't have unions?
Expensive union labor in the US has pushed jobs offshore, where governments in oppressive countries such as China negotiate contracts on the backs of slave laborers. Now I'm going to sit back and watch you chicken/egg this one.........
Dude, you have a case full of loose marblesI rest my case.......
That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one. The very fact China's system abuses its workforce is the very reason there's room for labor reform.communist utopia
Didn't forget anything, the theory that unions help workers and improve the standard of living is a great one.
Unions DID serve an essential role when they first started. However, the Industrial Revolution is over now and there are regulations set on any industry. Unions now create, or rather protect lazy workers.
Chicken/Egg this one? Do you want a level playing field between US and China without flushing the average American’s standard of living down the sh*tter or don’t you? Christ, it’s like I’m arguing with Henny Penny here.
Your comments imply all unions are greedy, rigid, and incapable of changing with the times. Your solution, therefore, is to abolish unions rather than challenge them to reform, and you’re against the Chinese seeking labor reform that would narrow the US/China trade gap. It’s like you completely forgot unions played a key role raising the average American’s standard of living. But hey maybe you're right; maybe it's time your kids stopped mooching off your teat and got themselves some cushy jobs at the cotton gin or coal mines.
