Speakeasy forum: Another Major Hit To The Economy

been striking.......one of the airlines as well........and protesting/attempting to unionize Wal-Mart and McDonald's which is disrupting the retail businesses of not only those two companies but ones that are nearby because buyers can't negotiate the minefield of protestors to get to the stores. It wasn't enough they forced the closing of a major company (Hostess). They may feel that they have a good friend in BO, but without those union dues coming in because of the massive layoffs that have been taking place in addition to companies outright shutting their doors, they have to make up the revenue from somewhere. The same thinking that BO has when it comes to this fiscal cliff.......BO knows that taking from the rich isn't going to be enough revenue....he just wants to break the Republicans at all costs and pushing that stupid issue instead of compromising on the same revenue from tax reform via deductions being cut from the SAME group isn't what he wants. His entire agenda right now is "I want what I want when I want it", but he hasn't got the balls to sit down at the table himself personally in order to try to get it....instead he sends in the clowns.

isn't good enough for you.....but to many, it's better than having no job at all. You seem to forget that the company belongs to private people and not the government and that the company gets to set the rules....rules that some people who don't agree with can always quit and move on to 'greener' pastures.....maybe they can get one of those Solyndra green jobs.....oh, wait.....those jobs only last about a year or less and then they're back out looking again because THOSE owners screw their people even worse than Wal-Mart ever has.

I'd glanced at that thread and saw "clerical workers" and didn't associate it with the ports being shut down. Probably should have read a few more posts in it, I see that was mentioned later in it.
