installing bigger sewage pipes would also create jobs; i'm just a job creating machine.

As a GE plant operator said, "Why should I hire anyone? I am getting triple the productivity out of half the workers. My average worker works a 70 hour work week."


Creating jobs isn't about taxes. Its about squeezing every once you can out of the workers you have, because companies know that with the death of unions they won't complain, they can't go out on strike and they simply can't quit.

Its the American Dream...

I do believe NOBODY can be forced to work overtime.

I'll bet if you ask the overtime workers if they would rather hire new people of work overtime, the vast majority would choose overtime.

It is more productive to have experience workers working overtime, then it is to hire and train new employees. And many employees like the overtime money.

I believe many of GE's workers are unionized;

"The IUE-CWA represents about 7,900 GE employees and its labor agreement covers numerous GE locations including Louisville, Ky. (GE Appliances); Lynn, Mass. (GE Aviation); and Schenectady, N.Y. (GE Energy). The UE represents about 3,100 employees and its labor agreement includes Erie, PA (GE Transportation) and Fort Edward, NY (GE Energy) and others."

I thought you worked for the railroad? Why would you apply for SSI benefits when you are under the railroad retirement system? You said you receive a RR check.Is that a disability check?If so you should still be insured while being disabled.

You said that your employed by the railroad too and when you retire its Medicare thru a Social Security Amendment.I said nothing about SSI i receive an annuity at a 85% rate because i was short my 30 years of service [30 years service 60 years of age requirement] its paid by the U.S Treasury but its the Railroad Retirement Board.I only paid into SS when i was younger at another job before i went to work for the NORFOLK AND WESTERN now NORFOLKSOUTHERN CORP as an extra laborer.A little advice if you get hurt and its career ending your disability insurance [ours was thru Provident Ins. Co] it will run out in a year it paid the bulk of my bills of course you know RR unemployment doesn't pay much $150.00 a week taxed.The railroad will try to starve you out to settle a injury claim apply for your retirement as soon as you can from your local RRB office it just took 4 months for me to be approved the claim agent too say the least wasn't happy.I used a FELA lawyer that was a big mistake hire a big firm that handles disability cases. I will have to get a lawyer again to get my Medicare its been close to 8 years now i know i should of appealed but the process with lawyers and all left a bad taste in my mouth.I did get a settlement which i invested thats what we live off of plus my annuity.
