“Bad idea, bad idea, bad idea. Of course, we can’t let the big dogs just declare bankruptcy like everybody else who has mismanaged their business. Face the consequences of your actions? Puhleeeeeeze!”
Are you working? Do you have a job?
There are 100,000 workers that are going to lose their livelihoods because of this. Not to mention the employees of the suppliers and the employees of the suppliers suppliers.
What do you think is going to happen then? And what do you think the union is going to do? They are a virus, they will pick up and go somewhere else while workers will go on unemployment and eventually welfare. And we pick up that tab.
This is the only opportunity for Management and Labor to sit down and figure this out. In a month, the employees will start getting po’d that there is no deal. Right now the only thing anyone has going for them is time.
Is that worth 14.7 billion for three months? I think it is.
I am working - I own my own law firm. Everybody who works for me gets paid before I do. If I can’t afford something, I don’t buy it. I represent people (partly) who get sued for whelching on their credit cards and I can generally negotiate down to a reasonable monthly payment for them to pay off the debts they owe. I also represent creditors who offered money or services in good faith and got stiffed, and then have trouble making the monthly bills because people don’t pay what they promised to pay.
People should be made to take responsibility for their actions.
