"Attempts to organize at almost 5,000 Wal-Marts in North America have mostly failed. Workers at one store in Quebec have organized. Last year, the company closed a store in Jonquiere, Quebec, after workers there voted to unionize. The company said the store was not profitable. In 2000, a store in Jacksonville, Tex., switched to prepackaged meat after butchers voted to organize." Not much point in unionizing if the employer routinely eliminates the jobs of those who do.

"your statement points out that "when Unions were doing their job" companies were more productive, and could afford to give them higher wages and benefits. "
Joejoe, have you ever been a member of a union? Have you ever founded a company that unionized? Have you ever founded a company? |

Union
1410, "action of joining one thing to another," from O.Fr. union (12c.), from L.L. unionem (nom. unio) "oneness, unity, a uniting," also in L. meaning "a single pearl or onion," from unus "one," from PIE *oinos (see one). Sense of "action of uniting into one political body"

Now look up "labor union," because THAT'S what we're talking about.

It seems to me there is no real difference between companies and unions as they are both just bodies of people doing business with each other and all this "them and us" is BS.

So are you saying there is no real difference between employees and employers because they are both just groups of people?

Tommy,
Based on a number of your posts recently, I can only assume you are very very young. Teenager? I'd hit the books a little harder, son. |

Hi Payne,

until corporations can be trusted to put people above profits Where's the contradiction? A corporation's profits go to support the people who founded it, invested in it, and work for it. They are all people. |

What does that have to do with the question.
Pretty simple: have you ever been in a union. I'm assuming by your answer : NO Have you ever founded a company that unionized: I assume again NO. Have you ever founded a company? Again, I assume No. Basic common sense says that you don't have the experience or knowledge to speak intelligently about the situation. In other words, you are talking through your hat. |

You don't know anything about my background, nor do I want it publicly posted as it's really nobody else's business. This is just more attempts to polarize the conversation ... add facts or something of value ... attacks on me are unwarranted unwanted and unwelcomed.

If you have no experience, you can't have an intelligent discussion. That is just a fact. You have no way of knowing if a union makes things more productive or less. If it increases profits or lessens them. You don't even know what creates productivity gains, which have nothing to do with unions by the way.
You just don't know what you are talking about. |

Saying that you don't have enough experience to understand the situation is not an attack. If someone told me I don't know enough about physics to talk intelligently about it, I'd agree with them, I wouldn't say they were attacking me. I'm sure you have many other fine qualities. Understanding the nuances of business is just not one of them.

You have no facts to support a differing opinion, so you have to attack me instead. At this point you are wasting my time.
