Unions enter into this discussion because it concerns Whole Foods which has a CEO who wants to be the benevolent plantation owner and have no interference from a union. If Germany has 25% of its people in unions that's probably enough for them because they have a different brand of capitalism and exert much more control/regulation of their companies. In the US we need about 33% of working people to be unionized in order to control the casino, vulture, predatory nature of our corporations.
I agree to what Eric is saying. People should stop and think about the fact that without unions we would not have weekends off, paid vacation, 40 hour work weeks and/or work safety not to mention the wages we were making before this entire mess in the government started (all levels of government). What the union folks get everyone benefits from...non-union and management. Read your history. If you don't, and buy what the union busters are selling, you will be in the same boat folks in the USA were in back in the early 1900's and before. I think it is called "legal slavery".
I READ, I LISTEN, AND I THINK PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE COMPLETELY NUTS. WHEN OBAMA WAS ELECTED, I KEPT HEARING, GO BUY A BUNCH OF GUNS, YOU WILL NEED THEM TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM OBAMA. YOU MENTION BILL CLINTON. HE WAS SO AGAINST GUN OWNERSHIP, THAT HE HAD EVERYONE IN AMERICA TAKE ALL THEIR GUNS TO THE TOWN SQUARE AND MADE THEM PUT THEIR GUNS IN A HUGE PILE, AND THEN BILL BURNED THEM. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT. ??? I HEARD ONE REPUBLICAN MAKE THE COMMENT " IT WILL BE A COLD DAY IN HELL WHEN I WILL REGISTER MY GUN." THIS SAME GUY BUYS A LICENSE FOR HIS DOG, AND REGISTERS HIS CAR EVERY YEAR. NUTS, NUTS,NUTS. BANNING ASSAULT WEAPONS IS A GOOD THING. YOU DON'T NEED ONE TO PROTECT YOURSELF. AND YOU DON'T HUNT WITH ONE. IF YOUR AFRAID TO REGISTER YOUR GUN, YOUR INTENT TO USE THE GUN FOR UNLAWFUL MEANS REALLY COME INTO QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW ONE DEMOCRAT THAT EVER TOOK AWAY GUN RIGHTS FROM THE PEOPLE. MAYBE INSTEAD OF WORRYING THAT OBAMA IS COMING TO GET YOU. MAYBE YOU SHOULD WORRY MORE ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY HURTING OUR COUNTRY. THE SENSELESS OUTSOURCING OF OUR JOBS. THAT IS THE REAL THREAT YOU ARE FACING. BECAUSE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE BECOME THE UNITED STATES OF CHINA. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, BILL CLINTON, AND OBAMA WILL BE THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES. THAT IS WHEN YOU WILL REALLY NEED YOUR GUN.
Well, at least now I know why my pension was underfunded. Chuck was shelling out all this money for Libertarian drivel, buying a large block of senators and representatives (mainly in Kansas and Texas), and getting a credit line to buy Georgia Pacific. By the way, their pension was also modified so that most people could not retire when they were told by GP. Apparently, after Koch got his fingers on it, the money was not there. That was downright dishonest.
