I just can't comprehend the irony.
That the unions get more money as the Koch brothers company profits more. Less Koch profits means less money for union members. Yet, union members rip them.
Kinda like how employees of a private company will harshly hate the boss and CEO......although they make more if the company does well.
They are the reason the company makes any money at all. All company profits are made with their sweat and blood.
Tell ya what...I just can't comprehend the irony.

You write up the bids, you carry the insurance, you pay off the workman's comp racketeers, you pull the permits, you deal with nitpicking dipshit building officials...Then you can come around and tell us all how easy the generals have it.
The company wouldn't exist w/o the workers either. Or do you suppose the CEO is going to run all the machines and drive all the trucks himself? Haven't you ever seen the TV show "Undercover Boss"? Those CEO's are real pricks until they actually go out and do some work. Then they screw up the jobs and end up crying like babies. That's reality my friend.
If all the CEO's in this country called in sick tomorrow... who would notice? If all of the wage slaves called in sick tomorrow, this country would grind to an effing halt.

Because that is the problem... they generally DON'T make more when the company does well... and they see the executives getting six & seven figure bonuses and the CEO's being paid millions. Where have you been? Pay attention!
I currently get a monthly bonus.
One of my jobs my pay was tied to how well I did, and we got quartly bonuses if the company did well.
you are, once again, exposed as a moron.
How can this be true? GOP hate media has been telling us, to stoke class envy between the taxpayer and the public sector unions, that the poor taxpayer funds the Cadillac retirement package of the public sector unions. And now you let it slip that the 5% of their salary that the union pays towards their retirement gets invested in a fund that includes Koch Industries and their Cadillac benefits are paid from the return on that investment and not on taxes collected from the underpaid nonunion workers.Wisconsin State Employees Should Have Some Koch and Smile - By Christian Schneider - The Corner - National Review OnlineThe vitriol from protesting Wisconsin workers towards the Kochs emerged quickly and intensely. Signs ranging between lame and vulgar (often both) dot the public-union marches.
But what the protesters dont realize is that they actually have a reason to root for the Koch brothers.
According to the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), the Wisconsin Retirement System owns $5.5 million in Georgia Pacific corporate bonds. (Georgia Pacific is owned by Koch Industries.) This is the retirement system in which the overwhelming majority of state and local employees participate. These are the pension benefits that public employees are trying so hard to protect.
So heres the challenge: Explain to a Wisconsin state worker that they are the ones helping fund the Koch brothers. Then sit back and watch the fun.
Again, how can this be? We know that GOP hate media never lies. But then again your source is also the GOP hate media. How can they contradict themselves from one day to the next and not expect their sheep to catch them???????
Oh wait, never mind.
But if all the CEOs and Directors decided to call in sick for a month or two, the companies would be gone and then the country would not only grind to a halt, but it would be down for the count.
No it wouldn't. Small businesses would take over and fill in. Then there would be real competition... 100 vs 1 or 2. And what would happen if the wage slaves called in sick for a month or two?

Most people do not get a monthly bonus, idiot. Most just get a salary (or hourly) and a cost of living raise (if they're lucky). Only the higher-ups get bonuses. I am referring to people in the front lines.

And if that ain't enough, as a small business owner.. try dealing with the endless worker squabbles, working Mom issues, employees with health or family issues, trying to keep benefits going even though the price goes up and up, ever increasing liability and omissions and errors insurance costs, endless regulations.... geeze, the HIRE act alone cost us a bundle in consulting costs to modify the payroll software.
These folks have no ideas the hoops employers go through to keep a business afloat and at the same time, keep employees EMPLOYED.
Nope, easier to sit on the sidelines and throw rocks.
Hmmmm It seems this is completely correctable.
I would not be surprized if this money get moved out of Koch investments by order of the people who are investing, you know the teachers, nurses, cops, fireman and the like who did not know until recently that Koch are their enemy by choice.
It seems Koch wants their investors with no money to invest in them, BAD business practices.

Well, see the janitors and file clerks and such don't usually get quarterly bonuses, so honestly, how could you expect him to know about that stuff?

Small businesses have CEOs too.
I don't know why this is ignored by people such as yourself.
It's not ignored, he honestly has no idea.
I am not a "he" and there is a very big difference between the CEO of a small, local company and a multinational like Wal-Mart.

Mr. Peepers is not a he.
Y'ever stop and think about how many small businesses are supplied by big businesses?Heck, if i were a small business i'd jump at the chance to fill the void.
Of course, then Peepers would consider me big business and demand that I fail because I am not able to help more customers with quality goods and services.
No, I would happily support you, like I do all my local businesses.
From whom do you think the 3-man painting business buys several hundred gallons of paint, to do a hotel project?
From whom does your small local restaurant purchase their food service staples and equipment?
There's a reason why employees never advance from being employees.

I can see how a janitor/clerk would have a near impossible time earning a bonus, but if you bust your ass and become the best at the company, you get a raise.
Unless it's a union shop. People that bust thier asses get told to cut it out or get their asses kicked.
Been living under a rock?I'm wondering who these liberals are that are railing against the Koch brothers profits? Do they have a name? Anyone?
Yes...
do these liberals have a name or somewhere where I can find a quote? Because I've never heard of anyone saying the Koch brothers were wrong for making a profit
