ORIGINAL: ClassIsInSession The problem with unions is they extort part of your paycheck to "represent" you, and in most cases I've worked around union workers, they are like government employees, lazy, sluggish and always whining. Then real workers come in and work circles around them despite the insults, the threats and sometimes the attempts at causing harm. Bottom line is, if people wouldn't accept the current wages for work, the wages would have to increase, but as long as someone is willing to work for less, the wages will stagnate or worse deflate, as they are currently in many positions where there are 1000 applicants for the same job. The bigger problem is that we can't compete with workers from other countries who can buy more with less or are generally willing to live with much less. The problem that creates this dilemna is subsidized globalization. The problem is that you've bought into the bullshit that you've been fed. Namely other workers work cheaper and produce the same as American workers. Its a crock of shit served up by Big Business to give a reason why all manufacturing went off shore. It went offshore for one thing only. Profits. The goods being made overseas are inferior to what was produced here. The goods are made with products that are regulated out of use here in the US. The goods are made in countries that subsidize that production at every turn. This generation is being poisoned by the same companies that poisoned previous generations. The problem is that we are so stupid as a people we allow it. We allow them to take production offshore and then send the products back to us to use. Does that make any kind of sense? But, I am sure you will run along to Walmart and be thankful that the fucking yellow smiley face is there to tell you everything is just fine.
