Angry Mob Of Workers Beat Their Boss To Death With Iron Rods To Protest Layoffs
The Business Insider ^ | 11/16/10 | Katya Wachtel |

A group of up to 400 workers in India allegedly used iron rods and heavy factory equipment to beat an auto company executive to death on the weekend, the Indian Express reports. Joginder Choudhary, an assistant general manager at auto parts manufacturer Allied Nippon, was reportedly eating lunch when he was attacked by hundreds of his employees (400 people according to some accounts). He and two other senior managers had to be hospitalized and some members of the HR staff were also attacked. Workers reportedly "attacked and chased the human resources staff and those on the board of directors" in a suburb called Ghaziabad, which is near Dehli. The mob says they were protesting the layoffs of their former co-workers. In any case, the execs were armed to defend themselves. The management had guns on hand and fired into the air when the attack started.

“the management had guns on hand and fired into the air”

Typical management perception of a problem, it wasn’t “air” that was thumping them with iron rods!

They did break him with a rod of iron; they did dash him in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Then they got angry.

Union member used iron rods and heavy equipment to kill their union president, after union members found that the union president had raided pension funds for personal and political purposes.

See...now that would be a happy ending.

India is a better country then we are or something to that effect that’s what Obama said during his visit and he said we are going to get jobs from there snicker looks like India has it’s own problems too bad the workers weren’t allowed to show Obama how they felt about their jobs going away. That would have been a happy ending.

Yes and he said they (India) were the powerhouses now pretty much ran America down and he said that they would be creating jobs for Americans snicker looks like they aren’t so superior after all and too bad they weren’t allowed to show him how they felt about their jobs being gone.

It’s the Bell Curve. In the past, those with a lower IQ and lower expectations could still get a decent job and raise a family. Now, those jobs are gone. You can denigrate those with lower IQs all you want, but, short of exterminating them, what are we to do? We need to find a way for those in the bottom 50% to remain productive members of society. Until we do, we will have a rocky ride that will end in...well, it won’t be pretty...

Its all about cheap labor. Soon we will all be working for slave wages. We will make &100s of dollars an hour but the money—like Mexican Pesos, will be worthless.

Export SEIU to India? That will solve the outsourcing problem, at least to India.
