In case you haven't noticed the hard work you're
doing is more likely to wind up as part of a multi-
million dollar bonus to the executive who figured
out how to screw you.


Actually it is being noticed. Not only am I an employee I'm one of the many
stock holders in both direct stock and in indexed funds.

Investment houses and stockholders have noticed how much of the bottom line
is going to the top line executives.

It always seems strange why anyone would chose to make less money,less
benefits,less insurance,less retirement,less and less. Just how dumb
does it take... Not to be able to realize the benefits of belong to a
group that looks out for you and your family

Union definition:
"A combination so formed, especially an alliance or confederation of
people, parties, or political entities for mutual interest or benefit"

Every doctor,every lawyer,every teacher,every realtor,every police
officer, every professional baseball payer,every professional football
player,every professional basketball player,every professional
umpire,every dentist belongs to a organization or association to that
offers help and support to that individual or group. Our country is
full of professional associations that take dues form their members.

But if a worker joins a group to help themselves.
That person becomes a low life dirty dog. This starts with industry
and people who are ignorant of Unions and of the real work place.

Jobs are moved over seas to the cheapest labor cost and less
government control..... Does that mean that we who work with our
hands,our brains and our hearts have to make third world wages? Does
this mean that we have to work in a unsafe environment? Do we have to
sacrifice our health, our bodies and our loved ones?
There is always someone who will work cheaper, with less safety
and less concern about our environment.
Just look at big business..... The owners of mines,factories and
companies who are fined or arrested each year for pollution,safety
violations,harassment,lying,endangering their employees.
The Coe's that steal hundreds of millions of dollars from their
companies and stock holders. If you think Unions are corrupted? You
hand better take a good look at big business. The IRS does?

Today we need organization of Labor more than ever.

Unions .... "The people who brought you the weekends"
