I hate public sector unions. They should be put to death. AgentApple Send a noteboard - 24/02/2014 07:47:28 AM

Great move by the VW employees. Unions do more harm than good.

In Haifa, where I live, we have one of Israel's two main ports. They are public and unionized.
Well, get this. Today, the unloading/loading work has been cut to half, because the union disagreed with management about the number of competitors to send to a regional workplace sports competition. So importers and exporters like Art Vandeley will have goods worth millions of dollars just sitting in ships and warehouses because these shitheads want to send some more fat asses to a rope-pulling event ?

I dunno, I was kind of curious how the first American "works council" would work out. Legolas - 17/02/2014 06:57:15 PM 546 Views
if American unions were not so bad they would have more support random thoughts - 18/02/2014 02:27:52 AM 493 Views
Funny, that's pretty much how a lot of people here feel about unions too. Legolas - 18/02/2014 08:35:54 PM 543 Views
So out of curiosity, you are totally against all unions? *NM* beetnemesis - 18/02/2014 02:39:45 AM 214 Views
Can't say I am against "ALL", but I can't think of any I would support..... Anonymous2000 - 18/02/2014 04:47:39 AM 480 Views
How do you think things like benefits, salary, working conditions, etc. should be negotiated, then? *NM* beetnemesis - 18/02/2014 06:44:04 PM 209 Views
omost workers in the US don't belong to unions random thoughts - 18/02/2014 08:13:19 PM 506 Views
So your argument is basically "let market forces do their work?" beetnemesis - 19/02/2014 02:43:09 AM 538 Views
sorry but I did not make an argument I answered your question random thoughts - 19/02/2014 04:21:04 AM 510 Views
