The unions have no one left..they need fresh meat.
FF workers are fresh meat so they are "helping" them with advice on how to strike.

Fewer than 7% of private sector workers are in a union.
The bulk of union workers is in the government.

7%? then why are you guys so terrified of unions and their power? Doesn't sound like they have much power to me.

Well they flexed their muscles to our government..bailout and Obamacare and they got their way.

Bailout? which one are you referring to? the Auto industry or Wall Street? As for Obamacare, we Americans flexed our muscles for that, though I don't think it went far enough, it should be a single payer insurance program.

The U.S. is approaching a tipping point in terms of income inequality which typically means a revolution.

Not my approach but they did not ask me.

We didn't bail out GM, we bailed out the UAW.
Unions got waivers for Obamacare.

We did it to ourselves and have only ourselves to blame.
Now we face the consequences.

In what parallel universe to you live in that you think the UAW got any special treatment regarding getting a waiver for Obamacare? Any company could apply for a waiver to buy themselves more time to get set up for it.

Unions are 7% of private sector yet 88% of waivers went to unions.

Sound balanced to you ?

Sure any company can apply, but the government had to approve.

It's still possible to recover.

The first step is shifting more earnings to the worker level.
The question is whether that gets done by the Corp Exec's on their terms... or by taxation.
But one way or another the balance point will swing back. It always does.
