[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3123399, member: 14176"] Who decided that McDonalds (#112 on the Fortune 500) is a "low paying, unskilled labor job", that are "mostly PT workers"? Why are we expected to accept that as a business model, while condemning Walmart (#1 on the Fortune 500) for doing the same thing? Wasn't the 1997 UPS (#46 on the Fortune 500) strike predicated (at least on the surface, to the general public) on beating back "Part-time America"??? I for one, do not accept any of the standards that have today's companies paying the CEO's and upper management first, the stockholders second, then deciding what scraps to throw the front line worker with what's left over after reinvesting. It's this series of notions that make me hopeful that unions will make a comeback, but I am not holding my breath in the completely hypnotized society we live in. [/QUOTE]
