And why not leave aned take another job? I am not willing to support collective barganing as a tax payer, unions always unwilling to compromise ....and besides, why can't individuals negotiate themselves....come one

You have no idea what you're dealing with. If you think the people running this thing (the planet) are going to pay the hard working, responsible, good people above average wages so they can live high on the hog while only the poor, lazy, dumb losers have to work for $7.00 an hour with no benefits so you can look down your nose at your inferiors than you'll be in for a rude awakening.

They'll come for your standard of living when they're done with them. BET on it! But I expect civil unrest, riots and very possibly the start of WWIII before it get's that bad.

History repeats! they're using the same play book they've used for the last 100 years. Understand it. Be prepared. You think they have underground cities all over the world and internment camps because they like building things for no reason?

Also google Joel Skousen and WWIII.

As well as prophecies and WWIII.

It's through the union that the employees receive fair benefits. It's called "organization"

People have forgotten what the plight of the working man was before unions, or perhaps their cushy middle and upper middle class backgrounds have kept them isolated from the grim realities of every day working class life.

Some would have us return to the sixteen hour workdays and shameful safety conditions that were the norm before unions. I'm constantly amazed by how little people learn from history.
