I've, both, worked in unions and managed in union operations. While helping to raise the bar for wages and benefits, I never necessarily saw them useful for raising the bar for productivity and/or innovation.
I dont see a problem with productivity. For every lazy employee theres 2 hard-working employees. See how much productivity you get if they do away with the unions and slash in half workers wages.
not every union guy/muslim is a thug/terrorist most serial killers are white men, but most white men are not serial killers
well, then they can fire you for no reason, and when everybody is so poor that they need their jobs simply to buy scraps of food, they will have the obedience they so desperately crave
As just a few successful examples, see: WINCO, Costco, Starbucks, Whole Foods. I love the idea of employee-owned companies. To me, that's where all if this strikes a nice balance.
Less pay and less benefits for the middle class is really what neo-con's think is going to stimulate this economy? HA!
Co-Ops are a really good deal. But, then you have other companies making record profit while unionized. Unions arent hurting them. Those company's you listed are also selling a brand. Not all unionized company's are doing that.
havent been to a whole foods lately, but most of the employees at starbucks and costco are miserable fucks who look like they are a drink away from killing themselves and taking a busload of people with them
