Precisely. We have met the 'enemy', and he is us.

Problem is........most of those whining about all this have NO clue as they watch their 401K's, etc. None.

Now.....with that said.......there is every reason to believe that if the major trading houses (Wall Street), analysts, etc. began to reward companies for proper long term planning, employee retention, etc., we'd see a major turnaround.

There is plenty of blame to go 'round here.

What am I missing here? The way I see it- unions have gone beyond their purpose and now they practically hold businesses hostage....

The workers are just that- they are workers..they are not stockholders- they should not be abused- but they create the very problems that force businesses to fold, leave retirees with empty promises, or move overseas....esepcailly considering all the health care wars I have heard about...

I would also like to point out that in this story- choosing to go for the buck at the plant instead of the job/career you went to college for was a choice. PERIOD. Who knows what could have happened.......besides..why is he whining about thinking htis was a solid job choice? I think 30 years is a PRETTY SOLID CHOICE!

Where am I confused?
