Sorry charley that's not me, know who you've got me mixed up for but it's a fair bet that "person" is an immaginary boogieman that only exists in your head. Try actually reading my original post and adress the points in there instead of making up accusations that have no basis in what was posted.

this is a classic example of what's wrong with unions. What are they against? Technology in the work place. They were protesting through a work slowdown the introduction of things to make their work FASTER and EASIER and thusly SHORTEN their necessary work hours and IMPROVE over all efficiency which would have left MORE money for PAY. Time to get your head out of the 1900s, the unions don't represent what they used to. The time when they protected workers from uncaring bosses is gone. Now they cost people jobs by inflating the wage scale past equitability and being against improvement in the working conditions.

Give me a break, human nature is the same now as it was way back when. If someone can get cheaper labor and make more money they will do it any way they are allowed to. That's why labor laws were passed, to force business to treat workers like humans.

Your statement about unions being against improvement in the working conditions is so bogus I wont even comment on it.
