In some cases, yes.
I don’t see any corporate executives coming in.....
You’re right about wages, but it just baffles me why the unions would want that. If I were a union member I’d be furious.
Perhaps the unions think poor uneducated Mexican nationals would be a great prospect for future members. So does the democrat party, and I hate to admit it, the RP.
Destroyed itself???
Funny comment coming from a Union leader which has seen its membership decline by millions and millions.
good thing he didn’t say this about hillary. he’d end up like another hoffa. we’d be looking for him for years.
Have the Dims done anything to try and stop the Mexican trucks from coming in ? I suspect not , yet Hoffa will blindly continue to support the Dims .
Unions have destroyed US manufacturing.
Imagine Jimmy Hoffa and me in agreement. My dear, departed Uncle (former state Republican Party Chairman) is no doubt spinning in his grave.
Heh. This week I’ve liked the Teamsters more than the Republicans. Didn’t read about toe-tapping-teamsters or Teamsters letting Mexican trucks run through the country.
Hoffa’s an expert on organizations destroying themselves, with most unions in shambles. The only ones making traction are government employee unions.
Wonder which president signed NAFTA.
And they were happily assisted by corporations that desired Communist Chinese peasant labor, not to mention the desire to hire illegal labor by the millions.
Profits regardless of consequences.
I wonder if the fool ever figured how much would "his" employees would be ahead if they took 15% of their paycheck each month and placed it in conservative mutual funds for 20 years. I bet the take home after 20 years would be more than the SS payout. They would be financially independant, and not a drain on the younger workers, no more ponzi scheme.
True, so true...
In my mind, both parties are at war with Joe Six Pack and the American middle class.
Sheeeyit. It's The Mobsters....errr, I mean The Teamsters, anti-business policies that result in anti-worker realities.
Neither did I. Did the Mobsters stop the trucks? If so, how?
Senator “Half-a-Waitress-Sandwich” Dodd has the support of the International Association of Firefighters, yet the Breck Girl is favored by the Teamsters? Who’s the “real” labor candidate?
Jimmy Hoffa doesn’t have a presidential candidate he and his powerful Teamster’s union is backing, but he praises Democratic candidate John Edwards for making strong appeals to labor a centerpiece of his campaign.
