[QUOTE="Sissy Brown Short Shorts, post: 5033141, member: 67435"] It’s no mystery that unions eventually suck companies dry. Why do you think they’ve all but vanished in the private sector? The public sector unions are far worse, have you seen the state of our public schools lately? You can’t fire anyone. There is a road crew rebuilding sidewalks in my neighborhood all they’re doing is fixing the corner parts at intersections, 4 guys at the same corner working there for a month. The Chinese would have the whole neighborhood done in a day, they build skyscrapers in a couple weeks. It took 15 years to build the new World Trade Center. 2-3 days to unload a cargo ship in China takes up to 9 here. You can’t compete with that. There is a happy medium of course, but paying a guy 175k a year to move cargo containers is ridiculous. If you’re spending all your income funding pensions and paying wages and having the lowest productivity in the world these companies won’t be able to reinvest into new equipment, buildings or technology. When the postal service hires someone they have to fully fund that persons retirement and they can’t touch it, multiply that by half a million people. Combine that with a self entitled generation of wussies that refuse to get their hands dirty is a recipe for disaster. [/QUOTE]
