[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan I know I am really going to catch alot of S---T here but here goes. Mark E,'s comments make me want to say just one thing in response..."God bless the unions for the situation he describes here". The unions had a real place back when they were formed and a little bit of value still comes from them today, but really, how much blood can they wring out of a stone before they put more companies out of business (which they have already done many times before)?. The company I work for employs over 800 people in WI factories while never having been unionized. The unions try and convince the workers every year that they need union protection and never, ever succeed. Why, because our associates are treated very well, paid well and are happy in their jobs...SO they don't need a union! Having said that and while bracing for the obvious onslaught of c--p from others on the forum, I will also add that it seems like a real disconnect to me (and hopefully to others here) that we Mr. Bush is advocating cutting Amtrak subsidies while spending over one billion dollars for a fleet of new Presidential helicopters (what, we need to ride in old train cars and in old planes while the older helicopters are not good enough for you, King Bush). OK, now you can sock me sqarely on the jaw. Fire away! [/quote] Let me be the first to agree with you. I have seen many good company's relationships with their employees go right in to the dumpster when a union was brought in. Granted, in some isolated cases a union is still needed, but most of the time all the union does is create a "us vs them" atmosphere. BTW, FYI: the war in Iraq is costing us $720,000 per MINUTE.
