The plant in question made commodity products that can be made cheaper in places where there is no Steel Workers Union. Rubber/steel workers? why steel workers?
Because the union leaders destroyed the American steel industry and looked where ever it could for other industries to destroy. They found fools to listen to their promises of no work for riches in Nebraska
The loyalty to a union is misplaced. The union should have been decertified and then the jobs might have been salvaged. Probably not though because the cancerous union mind rot permeated the plant.
The only cure is putting the plant to death.
Just curious, Dickie, what do you do for a living?
Would you be able to support yourself and any family that you might have if you all of a sudden were forced to work for $4 or less an hour?
Perhaps selling hotdogs in the parking lot of Home Depot, where many engineers are now working the aisles ?
Why not? activly participating is better than bitching and moaning.
The most hated phenomenon is change and the resulting uncertainty. People are lazy and love to make ruts and then live in them forever. Leaving the rut can be fun if approached in the proper manner.
Is it in AMERICANS' best interest for their Government to pursue policies that will lower American working conditions, compensation and standard of living to Third World levels?
This establishment idea of gradually lowering the income of American working class people to well under 3 world level is crazy.
The age for humiliation and degradation of the American working class is upon us like a large pile of rats chewing on the pages of the constitution.
Selling hot dogs in the Home Depot parking lot doesn't pay the rent, never mind support a family.
