Default O. T. Mentality of Hillbillies

Mentality of Hillbillies

As one Republican lawmaker told Novak, GOP leaders champion an “anti-
union attitude that appeals to the mentality of hillbillies at revival
meetings.”

The hostility, while disgusting, is unsurprising. Unions wield power
for workers, meaning they present an obstacle to Republican corporate
donors, who want to put profit-making over other societal priorities.

Why don't unions use their huge reserves of cash and buy or start their OWN
companies and pay themselves huge salaries? It would seem to be the perfect
solution! American companies making products with happy union workers.
They should be able to offset imports and drive the competition into the
ground. Then they could buy those companies cheap, hire more workers into
the unions. Pretty soon, ALL workers in the world will be union, rich and
perfectly happy. This could translate to worldwide peace!

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? I'm a genius!

Funny. I've worked nearly forty years overseas where there wasn't the
smell of a union and been paid far above union scale the whole time...
of course I knew my business. Is that the difference?

You've set a bad example by displaying an unrealistic work ethic and level
of competence. The object is to accomplish a goal using the least common
denominator not rely on high expectations.

I'm sure glad I swallowed my coffee before reading that . The unions have
evolved from needed protection for workers to a shelter for mediocrity and
incompetents .

Sounds good! But have you ever tried to start a company and make it
successful? Sounds easy enough but until you try your hand in the business
world you have no idea how tough it is to make money in business. 90% of all
new businesses fail in the first 3 years. So there you have your answer. If
unions started their own companies most of them would fail and they would
just lose money. Why do you think most people work for others instead of
themselves?

Nope. You were lucky. Everyone that is successful is also lucky. Count your

I was saying not all union members are bigoted against hillbillies.
Most of the union members I knew WERE hillbillies. I grew up in steel
and paper making town and most of the people I met who worked union jobs
were from Kentucky & Tennessee.

Nope, you're wrong. If you are talking about indigenous people, most
people over here that work their asses off are not bright enough to
have their own business - that's why they are working their asses off.

One of the major problems in being in business in Asia is that all the
bright young sparks are looking to have their own business. As soon as
you get a good guy trained he quits and starts up in competition with
you.

And, no I wasn't lucky, except perhaps to have made the decision to
move to Asia. It sounds like bragging but I'm damned good at what I
do.

aaah, wes??? based on course work, observation, and reading, it seems to me
that unions arise when management provides an environment that the workers
see as exploitive or unfair - when those doing the work are happy and feel
they are treated fairly, there is generally no unionization. Now, once
started, the process, being built on mutual antagonism and mistrust is very
difficult to reverse.

Mentality of Hillbillies

As one Republican lawmaker told Novak, GOP leaders champion an “anti-
union attitude that appeals to the mentality of hillbillies at revival
meetings.”

The hostility, while disgusting, is unsurprising. Unions wield power
for workers, meaning they present an obstacle to Republican corporate
donors, who want to put profit-making over other societal priorities.

You do know that traditionally, Hillbillies, tend to vote Democrat. As
did the Klu Klux Klan.

You've set a bad example by displaying an unrealistic work ethic and

I'm sure glad I swallowed my coffee before reading that . The unions have
evolved from needed protection for workers to a shelter for mediocrity and
incompetents .
Like Ron .

Evolved?

They went from a social good to a social evil in only a few generations.

Thats called degeneration.

Hence Union members are degenerates.

Why don't unions use their huge reserves of cash and buy or start their OWN
companies and pay themselves huge salaries? It would seem to be the perfect
solution! American companies making products with happy union workers.
They should be able to offset imports and drive the competition into the
ground. Then they could buy those companies cheap, hire more workers into
the unions. Pretty soon, ALL workers in the world will be union, rich and
perfectly happy. This could translate to worldwide peace!

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? I'm a genius!




It speaks volumes about union workers who won't buy the products they
build.

aaah, wes??? based on course work, observation, and reading, it seems to me
that unions arise when management provides an environment that the workers
see as exploitive or unfair - when those doing the work are happy and feel
they are treated fairly, there is generally no unionization. Now, once
started, the process, being built on mutual antagonism and mistrust is very
difficult to reverse.


Henry Ford made great strides in compensating his workmen. What did that get him? Yup, a
union.
