Actually, it was sarcasm against the ideal that lacks respect for working American's and their belief that corporations are people to.

I do my own taxes, and send a check quarterly.

That's always the way with the unions--they're known to often bus in professional protesters. I say "professional" because they're paid by the unions to parade around with their signs and shout at passersby....paid less than minimum wage, BTW.

3 of the former management I used to work under for McDonald's were fired recently with over 100 years experience between them! These people gave their lives to this company and "the numbers" were soft that quarter, they all get canned! I may have disliked these jerks being under them but I feel bad for them. Talk about cold blooded corporation. I guess there is just never enough money to be made for these money hungry corporations.

Yes, some people believe in working class rights and will protest for a small stipend, go to meetings without pay, and espouse for greater rights for the working class American's they love, and some right out say **** on them, because I got mine. Some very important people support the union cause.

Yep...every Mafia Don since the 1950s and every fat overpaid slob of a union President.

All my union did was take weekly dues and make it impossible for management to fire the slackers, which there were quite a few. My union was a joke.

[MrWillys]

My union puts money in my account every month, gives me 90% medical coverage with a $100 deductible, and I could layoff people at will saying we were getting slow. I love paying my dues, and I'm very happy with my union.

Yeah, but didn't you know the benevolent and loving corporations would have done all those things for the American worker out of the kind goodness of their hearts?
