And so what if they are all shit jobs with substandard pay! Dannymac Send a noteboard - 14/12/2012 07:08:41 AM
The right to work states across the nation at doing much better in terms of unemployment and job creation.


Hell, who's worried about American jobs being underbid overseas. Now we have States doing it to each other.

It's great that they were able to do it. Tom - 12/12/2012 02:45:39 PM 942 Views
I just think it's so... odd... that people don't realize things constantly evolve. beetnemesis - 12/12/2012 05:18:11 PM 891 Views
Isn't this a symptom of evolution? Jeordam - 12/12/2012 06:12:36 PM 935 Views
we also don't need unions to keep people on the job who are bad at it..... moondog - 12/12/2012 06:20:22 PM 916 Views
Unions are all about protecting underperforming workers and the union leadership. Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 06:37:41 PM 885 Views
Dude, that's insane. beetnemesis - 12/12/2012 06:58:42 PM 928 Views
That's a bit naive. And instead of evolution, I should have said "ever-changing" beetnemesis - 12/12/2012 06:55:41 PM 817 Views
No, big companies aren't all of a sudden altruistic... Jeordam - 12/12/2012 07:33:16 PM 879 Views
your three examples are of employers demanding workers do more for less moondog - 12/12/2012 07:41:12 PM 965 Views
The good and the bad of unions: Narg - 12/12/2012 10:33:46 PM 1071 Views
Double post. Narg - 12/12/2012 10:33:50 PM 1160 Views
Ok...employeers demanding people to do more for less. Jeordam - 13/12/2012 10:56:32 PM 876 Views
the point was that the union did not strike, the workers were prevented from working by management moondog - 13/12/2012 11:25:07 PM 948 Views
Yes, and if there was not a union... beetnemesis - 13/12/2012 04:56:57 AM 894 Views
What are the downsides of Unions? *NM* Narg - 12/12/2012 10:30:17 PM 518 Views
What are the upsides for anyone BUT unions? Cannoli - 13/12/2012 11:58:23 PM 943 Views
the answer to the political influence is hard campaign contribution limits from individuals only moondog - 14/12/2012 12:27:57 AM 846 Views
Cannoli - 19/12/2012 01:33:13 AM 1074 Views
I was hoping to hear what a union supporter recognizes as flaws of unions. Narg - 14/12/2012 08:55:46 PM 979 Views
I'll tell you what my perceptions are.... Jeordam - 14/12/2012 09:30:33 PM 1035 Views
one point i need to address here: moondog - 14/12/2012 10:09:24 PM 834 Views
Re: I was hoping to hear what a union supporter recognizes as flaws of unions. moondog - 14/12/2012 10:07:39 PM 807 Views
Sorry, didn't realize this was addressed to me. Sure, ok: beetnemesis - 15/12/2012 05:14:57 AM 1036 Views
it's great? moondog - 12/12/2012 05:29:00 PM 890 Views
Pissed off people.... Jeordam - 12/12/2012 06:16:49 PM 824 Views
again, what industry will those people looking for work go to in michigan? moondog - 12/12/2012 06:23:47 PM 939 Views
This used to be the case, but no longer. ranagrande - 12/12/2012 06:34:01 PM 796 Views
but that's my point exactly moondog - 12/12/2012 06:40:20 PM 869 Views
Which industry are you refering to? *NM* Isaac - 12/12/2012 06:23:55 PM 442 Views
As a native Michigander, I can tell you it's great. ranagrande - 12/12/2012 06:26:53 PM 822 Views
+1 - This is going to help bring jobs to MI and benefit the auto industry. Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 06:33:43 PM 865 Views
unions still aren't the problem in michigan, it's reliance on a single industry as the main employer moondog - 12/12/2012 06:37:44 PM 802 Views
Michigan is one of the fastest growing areas for the tech industry. Michigan is starting to expand. everynametaken - 19/12/2012 03:28:18 AM 1011 Views
So let me get this straight. Dannymac - 13/12/2012 03:54:14 PM 901 Views
Yes, it's a good thing, a very, very good thing! Anonymous2000 - 13/12/2012 05:45:43 PM 857 Views
no "right to work" in MO, MT, CO, NM, KY, WV, OH, MA, NY, DE, MN, WI, PA, OR, WA, HI, AK, MD moondog - 13/12/2012 06:56:17 PM 883 Views
Just to play devil's advocate... Tom - 13/12/2012 09:12:02 PM 860 Views
That would be an interesting study... Jeordam - 13/12/2012 09:51:21 PM 837 Views
Re: Just to play devil's advocate... moondog - 13/12/2012 09:57:07 PM 808 Views
I, for one, stipulate that you are correct. Jeordam - 13/12/2012 10:06:34 PM 892 Views
Re: I, for one, stipulate that you are correct. moondog - 13/12/2012 10:18:27 PM 880 Views
How is that wrong? Jeordam - 13/12/2012 10:52:24 PM 821 Views
it's wrong because it ultimately drives down *all* workers' pay, not just the unions moondog - 13/12/2012 11:26:00 PM 851 Views
Your argument is completely fallacious. Tom - 14/12/2012 04:17:58 AM 845 Views
A brilliant argument... Dannymac - 14/12/2012 07:23:53 AM 916 Views
You are assuming that business owners do not value "on the job" experience Orange - 14/12/2012 09:03:35 AM 1002 Views
Your hypothetical doesn't stand up in the real world, however. Tom - 14/12/2012 02:46:23 PM 902 Views
the only reason unions are obsolete is because republicans don't want them supporting dems moondog - 14/12/2012 06:43:56 PM 827 Views
Unions being obsolete has almost nothing to do with internal American politics Tom - 14/12/2012 07:10:38 PM 759 Views
i would disagree, at least with respect to the spate of "right to work" laws being pushed through moondog - 14/12/2012 07:32:26 PM 841 Views
Unions aren't going to help rein in CEO pay or corporate profits. Tom - 14/12/2012 10:48:51 PM 819 Views
i'll take you one further.... moondog - 14/12/2012 11:24:26 PM 791 Views
I have suggested that before Tom - 15/12/2012 02:31:07 PM 821 Views
so you did. sorry about that! moondog - 15/12/2012 03:59:16 PM 792 Views
So to work with your thoughts (regarding the Romans) Jeordam - 14/12/2012 06:07:06 PM 825 Views
funny thing about that..... moondog - 14/12/2012 07:25:50 PM 781 Views
And so what if they are all shit jobs with substandard pay! Dannymac - 14/12/2012 07:08:41 AM 864 Views
What do you want me to say? Jeordam - 14/12/2012 05:58:45 PM 944 Views
And so the destruction of the Middle Class continues. *NM* Dannymac - 13/12/2012 03:43:36 PM 425 Views
The unions already destroyed the middle class..... Anonymous2000 - 13/12/2012 05:46:56 PM 859 Views
Do you really not understand why unions existed in the first place? Dannymac - 14/12/2012 06:55:27 AM 787 Views
Why they first existed is not in issue. It is if they STILL serve a useful or detrimental purpose. HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 03:00:48 PM 860 Views
Yeah, moron! What is wrong with you, that you do not blindly accept his underlying premise? Cannoli - 19/12/2012 01:35:37 AM 1181 Views
Damn, I agree with Anonymous2000. callandor1000 - 14/12/2012 04:29:36 AM 883 Views
This must be a trying time for you. Dannymac - 14/12/2012 07:06:56 AM 840 Views
Callandor sees the light, perhaps it's time for you as well! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 14/12/2012 02:08:47 PM 389 Views
HOW they are doing it..is bullshit Amyrlin - 13/12/2012 06:33:09 PM 1007 Views
How? Residents of MI elected a Republican legislature and Governor..... Anonymous2000 - 13/12/2012 09:25:43 PM 842 Views
You have the right to work, not the right to vote in an election as you see fit and keep your job. *NM* heartbreak - 15/12/2012 03:23:13 AM 480 Views
