Fast-food strikes aim at 100 cities

Yea, I don't have the exact numbers. But the thresholds are well above the poverty line by multiples of 3-5 on some government subsidies. I'd bet even doubling the wage wouldn't result in a significant reduction in government aid to dual income families if they're already getting it and almost zero reduction in single income families.

 

common ground my friend...common ground.


G'nite and God (of your choice) Bless

 

Ha ha...let me know how it works out as your family and friends slowly decline in wages and make the rich richer.

 

Yeah , yeah. , I did all that too , and I wasn't asking you

 

how come that hasnt happened in non union business/ corporations or even states that pretty much tell unions to go fuck themselves? mainly its because there are laws against that

 

There it is right there.

 

Like I said

 

Move along thats the old merka..53% now want it given to them.

 

Do me a favor...look at what the unions have created for the worker in general...union/ non union...you might change your mind.

 

yes, at the turn of the industrial revolution and basically before the 40 hour 5 day work week, they did alot. now they dont. just becuase something was useful a long time ago, doesnt mean its useful now

 

Nothing I did the start up ...franchised and sold out...stupid union guy that I am

 

I've answered this earlier on. People just need to be smarter and stop expecting shit to be given to them on a silver platter is ultimately the point. Perhaps there is a feeling of disdain because I/you/whomever actually had to earn my way rather than cry about it and expect big brother to give out a handout.

 

They had a place, once upon a time. Then they got greedy, the prices of everything rose, and then jobs moved to China (or insert country of choice).

Over simplified version, but you get the point.

Please elaborate.

 

I saw your original post

 

Ok...so your telling me..the union sucks...and we should just bend over for the boss... And possibly give a reach around?

At you inlaws, did you pay full rent, that the average person might have to pay... did they kick you out if you were short from time to time? Did you only eat what you bought? You had a bit more opportunity than some get.

And that's not to say that you can't do it all on your own. I did, and many other on here I'm sure started with nothing as well. But not everyone can do on their own.

Weekends,8 hours a day, 40 hour work weeks ,the company would own people in the day. Safety was the biggest issue. It started with the miners.

 

this, and i rather have a job then no jobs at all because the company up and moved to another country or even another state that was less union because the union pretty much put the company out of business.
