VW threatens to block any future expansion plans in the South, citing conservative interference

69. I have been on this board six years longer than you.

Do you think it is possible for ANY person to work harder than ANY OTHER person? Why is it a conservative position to think that is possible?

However, this is not the first time someone has disagreed with me, but rather than discuss their point, simply advocated for the me to be kicked off the board.

For the record, I support unions. My father was a union drywaller for 30 years. However, I also support someone's position to want to join a union or not.

Unions are needed more in a profession with an more easily attained skill required. Typically, it is a field where many more people are capable of learning the skill than there is demand for the position. Without unions, we could end up with a Grapes of Wrath scenario. That said, I am in a profession that is constantly on top 10 most in demand professions. I will always be able to find work. Add in the fact that I am real good at what I do, I have no need to worry about long term employment (short of us going to a flat tax). Thus, when I go to Wisconsin and see fellow professionals in a union, I have to scratch my head and ask why?

Now, regardless of all this, I HAVE to accept the right of people to decide what they want. I cannot support management intimidating people to vote a certain way. Likewise, I cannot sell out my morals and support behaviors that have happened to friends because it gets me money. I want a honest and fair system. Sadly, it seems like both sides want the other to behave appropriately, while they piss all over any civility, barely stoping short of beating the shit out of anyone who won't vote they way they want.
