Growing up in a Union area I saw it a lot during strikes. I was even a victim of it when I was 10. I understand these are normally individual actions that don't represent the majority. Then again you seldom hear Union reps publicly denounce such acts either.
2 adult men in a car chased me on my bike while I was delivering news papers during a strike. I was 10 years old.
They ran me into a curb and when I was on the ground they took my papers and threatened me.
I was 10 years old!!!
How can you possibly justify that?
vandalizing someones home? Throwing a brick threw a window? What if a child is injured? How do you justify thug tactics?
Then afterwards act like nothing happened? These are the acts of cowardly people.
The way it works is that as soon as the amount of bus drivers decreases, the immigrants are brought into the fold, thus keeping the pay low.
Then the immigrants will gradually become more skilled thus challenging your own position, then what will you do, especially once you have neared the end of the line of improvement?
Eventually we will be left with a 'tossed aside, white working class' in favor of immigrants who will remain subservient to the master's table.
No thanks!
Well look at the White house. They seek to reward illegals and they have some Union support in this endeavor.
It amazes me that the Union is supporting the greatest scabs of all. Illegals.
even if they do that, then how about the replacement workers?
Why should they get stiffed here.
How about the idea of getting paid a fair wage for a fair days work?
Everyone is paid a fair wage for a fair day's work. A fair wage is whatever the market can support. There isn't a single person in this country that isn't paid a fair wage today. No one is getting stiffed. The economic market in this country is not a zero-sum game. Everyone can improve at the same time. The only way that is impossible is when government action interferes with the market and causes people to lose out.
So do you agree or disagree that workers should take it on themselves to improve their skills?

The parents are to blame here, for using their kid as a political pawn.
NO
The adults who commit the act are to blame. They own their own actions. They dont get a free pass for being idiots. if you cant see that I am sad for you. I pray no one ever goes after your own child. If they did you might see it differently.
What if some pro company idiots singled out your kid? Nearly runs him over with a car. Knocks him down screams threats at him. Would you say not the adults fault?
