Final blow for dumb Crystal Sugar workers

[DENG]

SO WHY IS THERE NOT A LAW IN THE UNITED STATES THAT STATES CLEARLY THE OPTION FOR A UNION OR NOT IS LEFT UP TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE COMPANY INSTEAD OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY???

THE UNITED STATES LABOR LAWS APPEAR VERY OUTDATED BUT HOLDING OUT FOR ANY CHANGE WITH THE HUGE PROFITS MADE IN THE LAST 40 YEARS BY THE CORPORATIONS INVESTING IN CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR LEAVES ENOUGH MONEY THERE TO BUY OFF AND BRIBE ANY POLITICIAN THERE TO PREVENT ANY CHANGE.

The saddest part of this whole Crystal Sugar strike is that the Union Bosses continue to receive their paychecks.
Aren't they the ones that are incapable of negotiating an acceptable contract with the management of Crystal Sugar? Obviously, the Union Bosses are not performing their jobs at an acceptable level.
The bulk of the employees are ND residents. They get no jobless benefits. We are now into month #4 of the strike.
Why isn't there a clause in the union contract that says that the Union Bosses don't get paid if the Union Members don't get paid?

ONE-HALF--50 PERCENT--OF THE PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16 AND 65 YEARS OF AGE DO NOT HAVE A JOB.

WHAT THE UNITED STATES NEEDS IS A POWERFUL LABOR ORGAINZATION AND A POWERFUL COMMUNIST PARTY TO SET THE COUNTRY ON THE RIGHT PATH FOR THE FUTURE AND SCRAP THE 19TH CENTURY BUSINESS THINKING IN PLACE THERE NOW.

Yeeee-ha! Those former employees of Crystal Sugar used to make 20% more than the regional average.
Then their union told them the company was bluffing when told that the offer was not going to increase, and they should not accept a 15% pay raise.
Brilliant. Just F---ing brilliant. Merry Christmas to those idiots that used to have good jobs.

I'd say loyalty goes both ways and the offer was ridiculous, but keep watching American workers get abused. Your turn WILL come...

your liberal union thugs have destroyed a community, destroyed familes and most of all destroyed America. These people followed the union leadership - just like the liberals are following a muslim socialist, and look what they have to show for it ( NOTHING )!

wake up - there is no free ride.

Correction, the free ride can only go so far before it runs off the tracks. Look at Europe.

It's what happens when labor unions are gone, except successful Germany, where they're strong.

What's Germany's secret? In sharp contrast to the decades of stagnant wages in America, real average hourly pay has risen almost 30 percent there since 1985. Germany has been investing substantially in education and infrastructure.

How did German workers do it? A big part of the story is German labor unions are still powerful enough to insist that German workers get their fair share of the economy's gains.

That's why pay at the top in Germany hasn't risen any faster than pay in the middle. As David Leonhardt reported in the New York Times recently, the top 1 percent of German households earns about 11 percent of all income - a percent that hasn't changed in four decades.

Contrast this with the United States, where the top 1 percent went from getting 9 percent of total income in the late 1970s to more than 20 percent today.

The only way back toward sustained growth and prosperity in the United States is to remake the basic bargain linking pay to productivity. This would give the American middle class the purchasing power they need to keep the economy going.

Nice unattribute plagiarism, slewche.

Typical UNION hack - no ability to think on their own. That is why they are so easily used by Obama.

Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, simple minds discuss people, and the dumbest discuss other people's spelling.

Great minds can spell and appreciate teachers. Average to poor minds smoked in the back lot and make stupid excuses here.

Ps-

You really LOVE to misquote and miss the point

I do hope it passes quickly and they are up healthy again soon. Sucks to have that happen.

If you have the time on your hands, and the patience to deal with a lying hypocrite like the Sludge...have at it my man.
