I am not a union man, but your comment, and many other similar comments about unions, are ignorant at best. There is a need to balance power on large corporations so that Americans can earn enough to keep up with the perpetrated inflation and taxes upon it's people. You identify union corruption with their top leaders without any regard for their rank n file. Perhaps you would do justice by the American people if you were to focus some of that ill-gotten energy toward the corruption of corporate and governmental greed. But we sure do not want to lump the small business man into that, now do we?
Arrowhead>>>----ignorance-->
While Unions bring with them problems... GM management is the primary culprit... that and the GM Stockholder... The "what have you done for me lately" attitude of wall street destroys more american corporations than unions ever have.
Companies are constantly under pressure to me "street expectations" like the street knows crap about running a business long term.. all they want are results this quarter... sometimes you have to give up results short term for real long term benefit.. but if a company does this, they are SLAMMED on the street... stock holders revolt and the board gets replaced.
If you are worrying about this quarters numbers instead of where the company will be in 5 years... you will lead the company into the ground every single time.
"I am not a union man, but your comment, and many other similar comments about unions, are ignorant at best."
I don't think so. You should have just now been listening to Rush.
Also, I have horror stories about unions from years ago.
They tried to unionize my business.
I also knew people that had to go into auto factories to service plastic molding machines.
Because of stupid union rules, it could take them 2 days of dealing with a dozen shop stewards, to do a 30 minute fix.
It's a long story....
