The real tragedy is that labor is being equated to stockholders. labor has no stake and no entitlement in the business. Labor has taken the profits that belong to stock holders.

Labor must be beaten in to submission and severely bloodied in the process. The BIG LABOR movement must be killed.

Agreed...For the most part labor has become nothing more than a fundraising movement to promote an agenda that is contrary to the well being of our country and American values.

Oh, bravo!

These people have done and do nothing but demonstrate the communist dream in reality: “we want more stuff for doing nothing”.

This has always been a socialist principle, and unions have always - ALWAYS - been based on that principle. Complete with thugs to bully people.

I think if I had a chance to ask Dr. Sowell a question, it would be this: If the situation were such that GM were able to pay only tiny wages that kept their workers in dire, Dickensian poverty, while raking in huge profits for the stockholders, what if anything would it be appropriate to do, and who should do it?
