[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1301463, member: 32753"] I am tired of hearing about the "real world", aka the work place without unions. In the real world people have no leverage against greedy execs who will do anything for another buck. Thus, when the execs take away benefits and reduce wages - things that may have been there when the person first hired on with company- there is no leverage for the individuals whose lives have been turned upside down to say, "Hey! This isn't what we agreed to when I started here. We need to talk about this, or you will suffer the repercussions. " And the retort is, "Well, there are plenty others who will take the job, so if you don't like it then quit." As a part of society businesses should give more consideration to things other than a record quarter in profits; they will not go bankrupt if they do so. Short of government intervention, unions are the solution. [/QUOTE]
