[QUOTE="Cabin_Pressure, post: 6717263, member: 605228"] You're right. It's not a companies responsibility to treat the workforce that makes it possible for them to operate fairly. An established minimum wage is bad. Mandated hour base is bad. Workers' right to voice concern without repercussion is bad. OSHA is bad. Grievance program is bad. Organized skill requirement to correctly and safely perform a job is bad. Maybe we should all be working for $2/hr. with no benefits so the company can install a heated pool in the corporate offices and build their own airstrip. I agree that EVERY facet of the economy does not benefit from Organized labor. But the truth is, Unions are designed to protect the worker and that is needed. The problem is that our generation has never had to participate in the pre-union workforce. Unions fight to maintain a middle-class, whereas corporations and government strive for a two-class society.............upper and lower. Ok, spoke my peace...rant started as a joke anyway;) [/QUOTE]
