Don't know enough about unions.

How much do you need to know? They've government subsidized extortion rackets, consisting of thuggish, greedy, corrupt lazy goons extorting far too much money, for doing far too little, for morons often doing things monkeys would happily do for a couple of bananas now and then.

Like those button-pushers getting $120k + bennies for "unloading" ships. Like they actually break a sweat as they get machines to grab containers. The extortion rackets ensure that the 30,000 other dolts who could easily do the same job of each union thug never get the chance to compete.

Unions must die. Die, unions, die. Die, Die, Die!

And you know what? They are dying! Cool.

I may have to catch a Blue Man Group show next chance I get.

>> Unions must die. Die, unions, die. Die, Die, Die!

Piss off.

Hank Reardon treated his workers better than the unions, and that is why he had problems in the beginning; it is called resentment.

You know squat I fear. My union keeps me from getting killed every day. I spent my day up five stories blocking around window frames. I'd love to bring you up with me tomorrow, so we can discuss standards and values.

Getting killed for a job is now left to our illegal immigrant population today, doing the dying that Americans wont do. They die and are maimed so nitwits can get something on the cheap, because they do not understand the concept of value or the value of life.

And you pay for every last wet back one of them waisting away in nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities the horror of which you will never see of even consider. It does feel cheaper in the up front, but it actually costs more in the end.

I agree with you about unions,Hank,but I'm afraid that celebrating their demise may be premature.

Apparently what's going on with the breakup is the beginning of a super union with an international reach.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review(no stranger to union thuggishness)published a disturbing article in yesterday's paper about it March of the union elite

Go work at McDonalds for awhile. See if you can buy a home or a car on those fat wages. I assume you think 6 or 7$ an hour is too much pay for simply flipping burgers?
Damn those button pusher who make$15 an hour. Damn those road construction workers making $20 an hour leaning on their shovels in 100 degree heat while you sip coffee in your air conditioned office.
Damn those workers who live in a city where houses cost an average of $350,000 and gas is $3.50 a gallon and property taxes are sky high, who have to work overtime to make ends meet. Does $100k a year sound like too much money?
How much $ do you make? What kind of car do you drive?

Your take on unions is about 50 years old and a lot has changed. Some things remain the same however. People still have to work to make an honest living. In my union slackers do not have employment. How many government employees retire with lots of perks and fat pensions?
I doubt Unions had much to do with the wages of those people.
Enron took how many people for how many hundred million dollars with their corruption? How many retirement pension funds got took by Global Crossing? Don't tell me about corruption as a singular issue that only involves unions!

Perhaps you employ illegal immigrants because you believe they can do a job for much less than American citizens?
It's ok to break the law to pad your pocket yes? And it does no harm to America either does it? Maybe 50% of your doctor bill goes to cover government mandated medical treatment of your illegal imported immigrants that work for cheap?
I have no use for people with your attitude. Your failure to grasp the scope of the entire big picture is narrowmindedness and harmful to America. Drive your KIA down to WalMart and go ahead and support America with your phony flag sticker. Your attitude will be the death of America.
