A grain storage elevator company tried to hire non union workers and a riot, destruction and arrests were the outcome.

The Union scourge is everywhere!

Better hide under the bed until the crisis is past, little man.

Your eight children can set up a rotation to bring you Cheetos.

Dick Cheney is too old to riot.

My apologies and thank you. I went back three pages before Posting my Thread and saw nary a mention. Busy day on the forum...with a failed modem/router, I have been offline for several days.

photos

I saw a photo of a union police officer grabbing a union longshoreman by the throat.

I watched some union NFL players on TV the other night, I am with agoing to fly soon on a plane with a unionized pilot.

I see both union and non-unionized firefighters attacking brushfires alll around me.

I agree with the OP, the suck.

 

[tactful]

Unions are funny like that.

We also see the administration grounding union fire-fighting equipment (planes) over a contract dispute, but what the hell, it's Texas, let Rick Perry put it out; Obama is too busy trying to get reelected...

Don't trust you or your web links as far as I can throw them

I, therefore, can neither confirm nor deny your depiction of Labor Union personnel as "Thugs". [It's not just you, I don't trust anybody; wouldn't click on a link if my computer's life depended on it.]

I have no problem with unions vigorously encouraging union membership among non-union menbers [I don't mean they have to bludgeon them.]

I do have a problem with the entire business environment in the U.S.; I think there's been a concerted race to the bottom over the last 25 years by business in the U.S. in an attempt to make the U.S. labor workforce compete with Chinese, Mexican and other workers who. well, for lack of a better metaphor - are willing for work for any wage that allows them to move out of their cardboard box and stop peeing in a can.

This model doesn't work; don't advocate it, don't defend it.

The funny thing is with the source Amicus uses is that like most stories today on the internet, it has imbedded links, the first being the Wall Street Journal, but what is also interesting is the links to similar violence in the past indicating a regional mindset that somewhat resembles our feral humans of London...

So, when you want to say, I don't trust your link, I think that's shorthand for I don't like the direction of the story, probably for partisan reasons, so I won't bother to research it.

 

[radepor]

...Em...not so; I don't click on any link

I've already paid WAY too much money to the Geek Squad to clean up my indiscriminate clicks.

I'd LOVE to go out and research some of these links; it's just not worth the agony and money to clean up.

This story made my week.


It's wonderful to know that the American worker hasn't lost his teeth completely yet.

Gives me faith in this great nation.

You are in good company...

Now those guys [French protestors over the retirement age of 62] know how to throw down.

Riots, protests, shutting down infrastructures with strikes.

We should have taken a page out of their book during the health care reform battle...

Ah! How well I remember union turf wars.

On large industrial sites the parking lot was far from the work area, and a long walk carrying a heavy tool box. But God help you if you used your pickup to carry your tools to where you worked, for the teamsters and laborers had cows about it.

They had no plans to tote your stuff for you, just plenty of guff if you did it.

Trust me, those are pretty safe links when people are trying to present the news the mainstream media tries to bury as being antithetical to the story they wish to tell; goes to credibility. I clicked on all of those links and they all went to news sources...

Again, it sounds more like head in the sand to avoid news counter to personal polity.

 

[rosco rathbone]

You are in good company...

LJ and I see eye to eye on a number of matters, labor relations being one.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Compare this to Madison----high school kids, retired college professors and TA's camping out, forming drum circles and other useless shit. This is how you do it.

So, you prefer Bull Conners to Dr. King...

Alright, I'm an Ostrich

I never thought of myself as an ostrich, but if it makes you feel better to think of me as someone who prefers to stick his head in the sand, fine.

I admit, I'm odd; I don't do anything other people do. [e.g. the only time I go to a movie is Halloween (I don't have to listen to a doorbell, nobody else in the theater].

Perhaps I AM out of touch; however, am I wrong about the business environment over the last 25 years? Is there any coorelation with labor union activity over the last 25 years? Wages?

U.S. business won't hire more workers because there's no demand; U.S. workers are either out of work or afraid they'll be out of work and don't buy U.S. products. Is this the definition of a "viscious" cycle? So, when U.S. citizens DO buy something, they buy the cheapest product they can find, which turns out to be from the factory in China that their previous employer, who laid them off, built in China with the benefit of tax breaks provided by guess who?

Actually, I'm surprised the U.S. labor workforce isn't bludgeoning every CEO in the U.S., every state and federal senator and representative and the president. It's a testament to our restraint...or stupidity.

One would be remiss if one did not point out the correlation between demand and the regulation and growth of government; look at what the green jobs did, it stole (future) capital from the economy and threw it at failed enterprises because government does not make researched economic bets, it makes calculated political bets, thus we have the Volt, which nobody is buying, at great cost, because saving Union jobs were more important than letting the markets adjust to economic reality. It's not the CEOs who are to blame, but those in Washington DC writing the rules for them to follow; it's why they are sitting on trillions in cash, keeping trillions parked offshore and not hiring; they still remember what Obama said to Joe, the Plumber, they heard Maxine Waters:

“And guess what this liberal will be all about? This liberal will be all about socializing, uh, uh… would be about basically about taking over the government running all of your companies.”

They pay attention to Obama's economic thinking instead of hoping that he's a success and that he can return unions to their proper place...

Q: You favor an increase in the capital gains tax, saying, “I certainly would not go above what existed under Bill Clinton, which was 28%.” It’s now 15%. That’s almost a doubling if you went to 28%. Bill Clinton dropped the capital gains tax to 20%, then George Bush has taken it down to 15%. And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28%, the revenues went down.
A: What I’ve said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness. The top 50 hedge fund managers made $29 billion last year--$29 billion for 50 individuals. Those who are able to work the stock market and amass huge fortunes on capital gains are paying a lower tax rate than their secretaries. That’s not fair.
Q: But history shows that when you drop the capital gains tax, the revenues go up.
A: Well, that might happen or it might not. It depends on what’s happening on Wall Street and how business is going.

You might want to investigate King's connections to labor and his views on same before throwing his name around.
