and people here are starkly against unions
It seems like everyone is anti-union these days. I work part-time in a non-union position at a company where nearly everyone else is union and my coworkers (non-union as well) can not stop bytching about union members.
shyt is so transparent, always cracking union members are lazy jokes meanwhile they're just mad because union members have recourse when management fukks with them and make way more $$$, meanwhile as non-union we have been paid the same hourly rate for the last DECADE.
How people can waste energy being mad at unions/ people receiving public assistance while politicians and industry continue sodomizing the common man is beyond me.
Well said gents.
The anti union sentiment was pushed down by the rich cacs who want every one working for pennies. Sad thing is dumb people who are also working class buy into it. The rich managed to pit the poor working class, against the working middle class, while they sit their with
face as the general public does their bidding for them. Look at how strong our workforce was back in the day and how they stuck together and the people supported each other.
The people buy into this shyt because everyone secretly sees themselves as the "rich and powerful person in charge" in their dreams and fantasies.They think to themselves, I would not want to have to put up with that if I was running a business. No one wants to see themselves as a working class person, but the reality is, we all work for someone.
So they join into the rah rah "anti union" rhetoric, to hide themselves and hopes that the rich elites will notice them and identify them as one of "them"
anyway you cut it, unions benefit the worker and the working class. companies are making more and more, and workers are getting less and less.
Products that are outsourced still cost the same or more than when they are made here.
Everyone complains about the quality of the goods we buy, its a running joke all over the rest of the world, all that shyt is JUNK. You see a MADE IN CHINA or INDIA you know something isnt gonna work or line up right. My dude bought a desk from ikea not long ago, and none of the drilled holes lined up with the frame
How the fukk can you be off on every single measurement.
No civilized country can compete with slave labor. Even if we all worked for 5$/hour it will still be more expensive than the chinese and indians in the fukking slave factories they got going on over their.
The middle class still is shrinking and we keep losing good jobs like teachers, becuz now a fukking teacher, one of the single most important jobs, is asking for 30$ an hour, and that is asking TOO MUCH.
someone give this young man some red rep
