(402 posts)A few assholes did, you sound like someone who blames a group of people for the actions of a few. If hes not a lying asshole conservative then its foolish to blame an entire group of people for the illegal actions of a few don't you think, there is no group in this world 100% free of crime not even boy scouts or Nuns that is not to say we shouldn't shine a light on all corruption but like most conservatives you seem to think the guy stealing a loaf of bread is the same as the guy who steals a 1000 retirement pensions. Did you get your post count in the pro gun forum and attacking feminist?
Did you ever think who has the most to gain from such behavior? It certainly isn't the Union. Maybe it was company hired union saboteurs ( yes every strike has them). As with everything you should always follow the money.
Anyway what you don't know, Bob Corker lied about VW right before the Union vote, he said that he had private discussions with them and said they told him that if the union vote fails VW would build SUV's in the Tenn plant. This was a bold faced lie that VW denied, VW actually wants a Union because they believe Union workers make better products. The Tenn plant is the only one VW has that is not unionized and since day one they have encouraged a pro union vote.
With out organized labor we will never rebuild the middle class, it will continue to collapse unless workers stand up and say no. People disconnected and only concerned with wealth have only the incentive of lowering wages. What makes you think they will ever raise them out of the kindness of their hearts?
Every year you work for the same wage you make less then you did the year before because the average inflation in the US is around 4%, this happens when wages stay the same or even lower like we are seeing now. Do you think you should get a 4% pay cut every year? I can tell you right now your boss and owners don't take that pay cut.
Stop being weak, demand to be treated fairly, stop shortchanging yourself and your family and demand fair compensation because with out you business wouldn't make a dime.
Lets say you have to pick a side based on which group has done the most evil, do you really think union workers are the evil ones? If you do believe they are just as evil you do not belong on this forum, kindly take your poison elsewhere. This is a forum for liberals not anti union teabaggers.
