[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SP9033 [quote]Originally posted by Lotus098 I meant your blatant liberal nonsense. I am quite interested in the subject. I subscribe to trains for the business information as much as about being a rail fan and taking pictures. What is a foamer? <hr noshade size="1"> James, We all come here from different places and situations in life. And its nice to see a bright, articulate young man as you posting here on this board. But, it is obvious that you have limited your intake of information to one point of view. I would suggest that you broaden your base of knowledge by taking in a boarder buffet of information from multiple sources. Read about both sides of the issues. Jim [/quote] I do try, look at all the facts you can get, and make a logical choice. If the job conditions were terrible, nobody would work there, and if they were illegal, they would get sued. Surely ironken is guilty of the same, or worse. Since much of his statements have been disproved, or are pure opinion. I just have one question that the article didn't mention. <center> [?][?] Why are these guys striking?[?][?] </center> I wonder if the Union isn't trying to force the airline to raise their wages. One other thing that bothers me: What is wrong with these scabs, they are honest men doing an honest job. Part of capitalism, if the job needs done somebody is willing to do it, nothing wrong with that is there? A Great railroad story I read about a strike is out of Short lines A Collection of Classic American Railroad Stories The story The Nerve of Foley, very good story, shows how an engineer who was laid off from another railroad due to a strike comes to the one in the book (I forget the name), he is the hero of the story and in the end rescues one of the strikers sons, he isn't evil and not the scum of the earth. If you read the article, many of the scabs, are former mechanics that were laid off, these people are getting a raise and returning to the job. This would lead me to believe that the job isn't so bad as to strike over. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
