[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a liberal and support a strike. The average American worker has struggled for too long. CEO have historically got all the gains from the workers’ productivity. Now that we have declining demographics, I think we will see more strikes. Labor unions are long over due for wins that serve the average worker. [/quote]

Somewhat agree though [b]many union leaders are more about themselves versus the people the represent.[/b] There is disfunction in the unions too. Also, pensions are great except they require too many younger workers to prop up one retiree. The traditional ways of thinking inside and outside the unions needs to change. [/quote]

I've been saying this for some time.  Unions helped put steel out of business here.  Not the only cause, but striking at the wrong times did not help.

Look at the Teachers' Union.  Do you really think Randi Weingarten cares about kids or teachers?  No.  She cares about her union and its cronies.[/quote]
Auto Unions did this many years ago in destroying Midwestern cities.  I have no sympathy and in no way support these clowns.  If they want to put the last nail in the coffin of US automakers so be it.[/quote]

All the big manufacturing companies did it to themselves. For years they agreed to defined benefit pension and retiree health benefits in lieu of larger wage increases because they assumed they would always dominate their sectors. They thought they were so clever agreeing to deferred obligations. [/quote]
