Card Check - Employment Free Choice Act - More Unionized Socialism. Call Congress!

Then move your ass to a socialist country, THIS is America!! We don''t need assholes like you F**king up this country anymore than you already have!! A NEW American revolution is coming soon to get rid of socialists/communists in this country!!

If the company has to take a paycut in profit, then why shouldn't the employees?? Of course, they could be stupid and let the company go down and then they make NOTHING but welfare!!! get a grip! This is what's wrong in America today, the sense of ENTITLEMENT pervasive in the LEFT!!!

RUSSIA WAS NEVER A SOCIALIST COUNTRY WHAT THEY HAD WAS A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP COUNTRY LOOK IT UP AND DON'T FOLLOW THE REST LIKE A SHEEP.



I actually prefer Democratic Socialism, than Capitalism.

And there isn't S**t he can do about it, except pray that his fatcat bosses don't lay him off and bail out in golden parachutes (their former CEO already did).

When times are tough for these companies, it's the people at the bottom who are forced to make the sacrifices, not the leaders of the company. They're all cashing in on this.

"The did good a LONG time ago but they need to go the way of the dinosaurs!"

Then everything they accomplished will be rolled back. My dad just got a 10% pay cut. He is a computer administrator, which is skilled labor. He and his fellow programmers got the pay cut when the company does tough, not the managers who make an ungodly amount more than he does.

Workers created unions to protect their own interests from those of the employers, whose interests are diametrically opposed to theirs. They had to fight to get the government to force a minimum wage, for one thing.

Employers want to pay employees as little as possible. Employees want the employer to pay them as much as possible. Thus the battle ensues. Unions are used to enforce solidarity among the workers. If the workers don't bargain collectively, they are too easy to push over.

"That's what they did until unions came about."

Question: Did the government create Unions?
Answer: No.
Question: Then why do they need the support of the government to survive?

MOST of the country works just fine WITHOUT the greedy unions!! Unions are part of the reason companies are going out of business! Hope the BIG 3 automakers will move their businesses to non union states and we won't have to pay 30K for a damn truck!

SCREW the unions!! They helped cause this problem just as much as the greedy companies! We need to OUTLAW these overpaid and underworked asshole unions!! The did good a LONG time ago but they need to go the way of the dinosaurs! the BIG 3 need to do what republic windows did and tell the unions to go F**k themselves!!

It's the value of the employee's labor. Employee labor in sweatshops has been determined to be very, very low. But it is not worth so little...The wages have been driven down further and further by the employer's constant search for the most destitute, desperate sap to hire so he can exploit them for cheap labor. If he remains free to do that, across the board, wages will spiral down until everyone is living in serfdom.

...say it isn't worth very much, since anyone can do it, and so be inclined to hire whoever is willing to do it for the lowest amount possible. But his business will plummet if the bathrooms are left unclean and the floors left dirty. That labor is fairly valuable to the employer, but he goes by what the market determines its value is. He is of value, and he is of more value than his employer will admit. That's why unions exist.

The issue is not merely the freedom of the employer.

If the employer could get away with it, they would pay all workers as little as possible. That's what they did until unions came about.

The reason he should be prohibited from hiring them is that it will cause wages to plummet across the market if all employers are allowed to fire their unionized employees in order to maximize their own personal gain.

The value of labor is an interesting question. How much is sweeping floors worth? How much is cleaning bathrooms worth? An employer might...

My husband "has" to be in a union. The union "assesses" his pay and fines him for not picketing. Then, they use the money to lobby Washington and build marble halled union headquarters. Then, they shake down job sites and take pay-offs. Unions are just another corrupt layer of government.

Their power is in their worth. If an employer can find people who will do the same work for less money, then why should he be prohibited from hiring them? Is that not freedom.

Like I explained in my description, the power of an employee is his worth; he needs to be valuable to his employer. If he is not of value, then why is he there?

These union issues strike at the heart of what freedom is all about. We don't need the government interfering were there is no wrong being done.

"If a union goes out on strike, I believe the company should be able to fire every single employee who refuses to work"

So what you're saying, then, is that unions should bu utterly and completely useless and powerless? Because that is the implication of that view. Unions would have no bargaining power if the company could just fire all the strikers.
