[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 978296, member: 26998"] I'm not really sure in your world it matters a hoot what I think. If I think unions should organize and seek better conditions, for you this means they are driving jobs overseas and fine companies out of business. If unions just try to maintain what they have, well then they are putting downward pressure on wages. I do think I could guess who you think achievers are, they are the ones who put coins in your pocket. I also think that employees are employees and not employers for a reason. We can go on and on and argue these reasons, but they are reasons nonetheless. Unions have certainly bungled many things in the past and present, but at their essence they are only employees and not employers. Employers, bare the sole responsibility for the success or failure of their enterprise and if they hire employees, dues paying or not, who are under "achievers" that's totally on them. Yes, you list many companies and instances of employers trying to improve their lot in life, aahh, that's our capitalist system in action. They have every right, just like all employers to seek those opportunities. You on the other hand, sound like an old management friend of mine who I chided for complaining about his plight to the hired help, it sounds good, but it really doesn't put any more coins in your pocket.
