In the United States today, a worker is fired or discriminated against
for trying to form a union every 23 minutes.

...and, every 23 minutes a manufacturing firm fractures it's activities

and
outsources some jobs overseas. Every 23 minutes a number of union jobs

are
replaced with automation. Every 23 minutes a union lowers the bar for
excellence in manufacturing to the point of drug and alcohol saturated

union
employees, secure in their employment, set the standard.

I went from a high of 80 employees twenty years ago to 15 today and

doubled
sales. Motivated by a parasitic union, our thrust into automation in

addition
to outsourcing to non-union companies has eliminated these union jobs.

The last
machine we built will eliminated another union job and the next will

eliminate
two more. The union has priced themselves right out of the job market! I

wish
I could eliminate a union job every 23 minutes! Hurray for unions!!!


Yes, that's right, blame the union any time you can. Maybe if you and others
in management work hard enough you can eliminate unions altogether. That's
been the goal and desire of management for 100 years. Like your predecessors
you are still at it. I'm sure you would be glad to hire people if they just
hadn't priced themselves out of work. Say if they would work for you for
three dollars an hour or so and without benefits then you would be hiring
instead of firing. Oh for the good old days of 1.35 an hour minimum wage.
Just like a conservative, wanting to return to some magical time when the
world was better. What a fairy tale. Just like your entire anti union
rantings.

Like I should pay $50,000 for somebody to sweep on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Or,
pay $100 labor for $80 worth of salable goods. You'd starve if you had to rely
on your skills to eat. Go check the tire pressure on your house!
