So present a reason why this bill wrong that doesn't lie or pretend to be protecting workers. They want more freedom to organize, is there a good reason to deny them freedom? As an FYI I was a manager of people from 3 different unions including the IAM (simultaneously) for 10 years. I watched them destroy productivity, destroy lives, and sabotage company equipment. 6 months ago I would've totally agreed with you. Now I'm on the fence. While everything I said is still true, consider that executive pay has skyrocketed while shareholder value and average worker pay - including yours - has fallen. Consider that Henry Ford, when questioned as to why he paid his workers so much when he could pay them way less responded, "because then they couldn't afford to buy a car". And what's happening right now? 70% of economy is on the rocks because people used credit to raise their standard of living at the same rate it had been. If they hadn't done that, their standard of living would've dropped. In short, something policy-wise is eroding the very heart of our economy and we just had a heart attack. I'm not sure if unions help fix it - and they certainly have their problems - but what's been going on with wage disparity for the last 10 years is simply not sustainable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:292849 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
