They are so powerful, they are now poor and destitute.
The union members believe that "shutting" down a company is in THEIR best interests? Really? So, who is going to feed these OUT OF WORK morons??? I hate to tell these idiots, but THEY have just done more harm to unions than anything that any corporation could possibly do.
Okay, they made their point. I hope they starve.
By golly you suceeded, you won the fight, now what idiots. But hey, you gotta stick to your principles...hmmmm.hmmmm.hmmmm.
We're very proud of your success, yes sir. We're proud if your proud, looks like we're both happy.
In a previous post there was an article indicating that the unions were blaming Hostess investments in Bain Capitol etc, for Hostess closing. WTF?
They’re “inspired” after losing their own jobs and causing the same misfortune for a lot more innocent workers?
They think “this will be an example to other companies not to [try to] break their unions”???
Honey, your union done got broke.
Cluelessness on steriods.
This country is doomed.
Pointing a gun at their own heads they ask “What are you laughing at, you’re next”.
No big deal the bums will have 2 years of unemployment and by then the Kenyan will have another government give away for them. Atlas needs to shrug and there will be no more government checks to hand out. Until then they will no doubt suffer minimal discomfort
Resolve = Putting 18,500 people out of work. Those union guys are brilliant. Just brilliant! LOL! Knuckledragging, union thugs are the lowest form of life ever found on this planet.
The welfare system is strong enough for now to enable this kind of behavior.
We’ll have to check on them in a couple of years and see how they are doing.
May they continue to show such resolve in the future. Best wishes for future success!
In a few words the lazy bastards are too lazy to work and want to lie around and collect unemployment!!
Just goes to show you that you can’t fix stupid!!
““You can fight them. You can shut them down.””
So the goal is to shut down the company that provides you with a job. Apparently this is considered a victory.
Can people REALLY be that freakin’ stupid?
“I think we’re the first ones who have stood up and said, ‘We’re not going to let you get away with it,’” said Sue Tapley, the strike captain on hand Friday morning at the Biddeford plant, which employed nearly 600 people. “You can fight them. You can shut them down.”
I guess this blithering idiot never read the story of the the goose that laid the golden eggs. Is there any hope remaining if our populace is really this stooopid
Their “resolve” will pay their bills I’m sure. Or is their “the combustion”.
This reminds me of the Braniff Airways failure. After they shutdown operations, they had an offer that would have put them back to work.
BUT . . . . . . . . .
In order for them to go back to work, the pilots would have had to take pay cuts and have fewer flights per month than that to which they were accustomed.
The pilots stood their ground and said no. Apparently, unemployment paid them much better than sitting in the captain’s seat of a Boeing 727, 737, or 707.
The takeaway from all of this is that the union mentality still lives and, like a black hole, sucks up reason, intelligence and compromise and replaces it with ignorance and stupidity!!
Agree. This Union hasn’t shown that they care about any other employee other than “the Union”. Same line of thinking as the Dem Party/Libs. “Gimme mine, to hell with you”.
Yeah, the union’s got them right where they want them. LOL!
