the quantity of unskilled labor has also skyrocketed. you are paid according to the labor market for your skills not how much your company makes.
why is this not applied to the management of large companies? Some of the dumbest people I have met in the workplace were upper management...………...What is in place to weed out these people who cause companies to go under much more than some "greedy" union.
Worker pay is not proportionate to their contributions to the company and the Big Dogs at the top are taking advantage.
Why do people not see this? Its proven in statistics over and over again just alone with CEO's compared to 1970 to now?? Or is that just agenda driven rhetoric? We are being played over and over and just take it and the only reasons I think it works is because fear spreads around about "socialism" and how companies will move jobs to other areas or countries. When they move jobs to other areas INSIDE our country they are often met with incentives using tax money to attract jobs that are paying less and less. Sure appears to me that's a company and its management doing its best to bolster its profits and those are going to the top people in the company and not many others..[/quote]
people do not "see" this because they have had it drummed into their heads that unions are corrupt,doom companies,and are all lazy. Now just who do you think has run this propaganda campaign?
Strange how the rest of the industrialized world, Unions have been kept strong and people have seen wage increases.
In the US, Unions have been gutted resulting in wage stagnation for almost 40 years.
40 years ago...which, coincidentally, is about the same time that union labor in the U.S. priced itself out of the market altogether.
Which just goes to show...that if you're going to shake the money tree out of the ground by its roots, you better figure out how to plant another money tree.
Sadly, this ability is present in almost ZERO union members. I wonder why that is.
Businesses have the Republican Party. Unions are the only protection workers have to make a decent wage and have an avenue for complaints. Do that without a union and you have to go hat in hand to the boss and hope you don’t get fired after the meeting. Unions are good. Most who have never been in a union don’t know what they’re talking about. Usually spewing the company line.
I passed my own legislation this morning: The right to be free from involuntary 3rd parties when I negotiate terms on anything with another consenting party.
The vote was 1 yay, 0 nays...just for the official record.
Then I stamped a paper and shook my own hand.
