And you are just about the smartest right winger on this board. It's an honor.
See, you guys will never submit your individuality to the collective. You know better. Even if it takes food off of your table.
You know better. You know the truth. And you'll go to your grave with that understanding.
Sure that's a misguided elitest understanding on your part.
But that's what makes propagandistic brainwashing so thorough and entertaining. You live your life in the service of your economic masters willingly and aggressively at your own expense.
Who needs chains when you're giving it up for free?
it's rare that a leftist lets his guard down like that and openly admits he has no will of his own and that he must follow the hive mind.
While it has been highly publicized that SEIU Service Employees International Union backs the fast-food protests, the new revelation shows its paid employees are actually leading and organizing a major component of the movement.
Besides directing the New York contingent, Fast Food Forward has been instrumental in fueling the protests scheduled nationwide.
Fast Food Forwards president and lead organizer is activist Kendall Fells. He has been widely quoted by news media as simply organizing for the fast-food group. Fells, however, is more than just a Fast Food Forward organizer. He has been a paid SEIU organizer since at least 2007.
In 2007, Fells took in $73,129 as an SEIU organizer.
In 2008, his SEIU salary increased to $95,913. In 2009, Fells made $100,071 from his SEIU efforts. He made a similar salary in 2010.
In 2011, Fells SEIU salary jumped to $120,151. Last year, he took in $111,000 as a New York City coordinator for the SEIU.
That's why the workers need a raise, so they can pay all those union dues. After the unions get done with their charges, the workers will find out they are ending up with less than they had before the unions.
While unions had a point at one time, now they are just industry killers, branching out into city killers.

That's how the talking point goes - unions are job killers! Why? B/c a fair wage and benefits are
job killers! Why? B/c the monied elites don't get rich by paying a fair wage. And since NAFTA and globalization, why you just might find your job shipped to a country with child / slave labor.
See that's how the logic of it works out. Labor is demeaned even though it creates all the value in this economy.
And for some reason, you're on the side of the monied elites.
Maybe I'm not supposed to get it?

Have you seen the price of Nike shoes? That's not too far off. And considering the company's documented problem using slave child labor, I'd say you might want to choose another industry to make your point that markets should dictate wages.That's why the workers need a raise, so they can pay all those union dues.

You do realize that labor is a commodity just like anything else.. right? So, given your thinking... why can't Nike charge $450 for tennis shoes? I mean, as long as they deem that a fair price?

You're certainly doing a bang up job of someoen who doesn't get it. Of your responses, not one has really tried to defend your position. Of course the "the rich are out to screw you" meme is pretty indefensible.
I thought Marxism was dead in the real world.

Of course no one has a gun to the heads of the plutocratic crowd making them pay terrible wages with no benefits. And Labor, where else are they going to go? Used to be that government protected the rights of the worker. But that's pretty much dead. Just like the US's manufacturing base. You see organized collective bargaining is much much more effective than every man for himself.
The 'go it alone' strategy in contract negotiations works like shit b/c the monied elites hold all the bargaining chips. With labor, there is only strength in numbers.
Standing alone, labor is dead in the water. And people like you happily refer to these people with lives performing necessary work as a commodity.
And not to put to fine a point on it but Labor is oranized at a 6 or 7 percent clip in private industry. Apparently that's far too much for the proponents of the monied elite.

Whatever... at the end of the day, if there was a shortage of fast-food workers and a high demand, the price would go up. Unfortunately, there' an endless supply of people only qualified to press pictures on a cash register.. hence the low wage.
Go get an engineering degree.. I hear that pays real well.

Ask Hostess how unionization worked out. Then go to Stockton, San Bernardino, Mammoth Lakes, don't forget Detroit. People who relied on the pensions the unions promised are now going to lose those pensions. But, the money the union got isn't going anywhere, they got it and they will keep it.
The unions had a place, but when they started using the union money to serve the union bosses, they lost that place. The workers aren't protesting. The union has to hire rent a mobs to come and protest. What part of that don't you get?
Granted you're a brainiac but much of the population is suited for labor and will rise no higher. The average IQ is what, 110, and half the people out there are dumber than that. So we will have a lot of broom pushers and greeters.Have you seen the price of Nike shoes? That's not too far off.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that the unions stole the pension funds at those companies? B/c the record for Organized Labor is abysmal. Unions always make concessions and always get screwed into the ground by private owners. Seems to me that it wasn't union activity that brought Hostess down, management failed spectacularly.That's why the workers need a raise, so they can pay all those union dues.
