The union members believe that "shutting" down a company is in THEIR best interests? Really? So, who is going to feed these OUT OF WORK morons??? I hate to tell these idiots, but THEY have just done more harm to unions than anything that any corporation could possibly do.
It amazes me these folks seem to think they have achieved something great. Evedently they do not realize the owners of the company will not lose anything. It’s really only they the workers that will suffer. Idiots!
The union strike captain is likely paid by the union. This outcome was to the benifit of union leadership, not the members.
So, who is going to feed these OUT OF WORK morons???
Just in case that isn’t a rhetorical question, the answer is you and me re going to feed them. That is unless you are dependent on SS or some other government program in which case I guess it is down to me and the few others who are not dependent on a government check.
Do you think they would be so froggy without 99 weeks of unemployment insurance, food stamps, free phones, subsidized heat, rent, child care, and etc.?
You and I via redistribution.
Not only that for some reason this idiot thinks they are the first to do this. Unions have been closing companies do to unfair demands since they came into existence. I worked for a lumber company that was started in 1945, I started to work there in 1962 after I got out of the army, worked there until in 1998 a sale to a new owner caused him to shut it down to do the Union leasers that refused to renegotiate a new contract. Cost 600 jobs. Now in the mills place there are "service" jobs that pay a small percentage of what the Mill jobs paid, no health insurance and fewer people employed. Plus a bunch of auto dealers moved in and promptly went belly up, no one to buy their cars. A bunch of empty dealership lots sit in the place of some of the old mill buildings.
The Union members that worked there do not have the attitude that "we showed 'em" most of them say that when they drive by the old mill site they feel like crying.
