Chuckie....Were you not in a union at onetime when you were playing basketball? I agree with all you guys the unions can't demand what they once did when we were strong and profitable in this country. We also can NOT give up the whole ship because big corporations are making big profits. How can anybody blame a worker for trying to get ahead and support his family? I also believe that alot of the problem is politics and how so few American wokers union or non-union have to support the big paychecks and overhead of the CEO, white collar office and managment staff that is basically overhead. Yes unions caused alot of their own problems but big business in a sense helped sell them down the river. In my eyes corporate America has won.
Outsource work and jobs, break the unions,cut back healthcare and pension plans and most Human Resource depts. do very little for their employees anymore. Don't dare speak up or there will be consequences. I can't believe the blue collar Union people are really hurting the country anymore. Maybe 14% of the work force is Union?? I feel America had a real strong 150 years of industrial and economic dominance know it is time for another country to control the market. Only problem most of the imports in my opinion are 2nd rate. So in a nut shell everybody has to do what they think is best for them and their families. I, along with my family will always support the working man and the Unions. Would not be where I am if I was not an IBEW Union member for 30 years. So..... Lets go have a nice cold American
and make sure our kids are secure for the future.
