And you can blame most of the problems on the greedy commie unions.
The unions were the downfall of the U.K. and the same is happening here.
No, in point of fact, we cannot displace responsibility where it does not belong in order to avoid responsibility where it does. FACT: Unions and Management contract together based on bargaining between the two. Whether you like the outcome is immaterial. They agree - both parties - to a contracted wage and benefit acceptable to both sides. I'm unaware of any contract signed in the US with regard to Union wage that ever hinged upon YOU liking the agreement between the parties - save perhaps for one in which you belonged to a Union in question.
Unions exist because prior to their existance, Businessmen in this country treated workers like slaves in many areas. Workers got tired of the abuse and did something about it. Some unions, today, have grown to be as abusive as the Businesses that caused them to come into existence. Union jobs are a minority of labor in this country. And Bad unions are a minority of that minority. Doesn't quite wash.
You can attempt to shift onus with this crap-man argument. (A strawman would stink less and look more pleasing); but, not getting away with it in my presence, thank you. The bottom line is that some people just really don't care what they do in making a profit. They feel put upon by others who insist that a proper ethic be followed.. imagine - actually being expected to act ethically - what a drag... Sound familiar - Can anyone say 'hippie' or 'baby-boomer'. All the crap we hear about how unethical the boomers and hippies were .. and when we look at todays problems, it's the very crap we been decrying. But, suddenly, because it's one's own unethical nature in spotlight, it should get a pass. Not on your life.
