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.

>> In my union slackers do not have employment.

With the carpenters only the stweart does not get the ax for nomperformance.

Last company I worked for before going back to my company brought in 27 sheetrockers on monday, by friday they had the 7 they were looking for.

I look foreward to these jobs, as they are like family reunions; and you know at the beginning who will go bad by the end.

Every year it is the same. Union companies pay top dollar, but only for performance.

My company just dumped two guys today, and called the hall for two more, anyone but them. It will take all week to get me another partner... My regular partner was injured, and hauled off last week with a slipped disk. I guess he should have worked safer before he fell... If it was a non union job, he would not have had a harness and would be dead today.

I am glad I missed his performance, I heard there was a lot of screaming before and after the shock cord kicked in. I hate it when they scream, it gives me nightmares.
