I talked to my brother this week. He's a VP so of course he sees things from the corporations side. We don't need your uneducated blue collar kids. Doesn't matter what color they are. McD and Walmart can get computers to do the work if you get too expensive. In the future you will have 1 or 2 kids and they will be engineers or nurses or plumbers. You better prepare them to find something they want to do the rest of your life. No more can your kids just graduate high school and fall into a good job. So the masses. The blue collar workers are screwed. This is the new normal.Unemployment is already really low and yet wages are flat. They aren't going up just because of supply and demand. Seems the business owners and corporations you worship like it this way. Maybe we should organize.Yes with the decline in unions policy has completely favored employers.Exactly. Corporations have full control of wages. Without unions there is no reason to raise wages any more than maybe a token amount leading up to an election.
With unlimited immigrant labor, workers will have no leverage.
You support that.
.....e
Those numbers are shit.
Wages are not flat, they are rising, finally, and too slowly, but they are rising.
Maybe if we deport more of the cheap third world labor pool, that will put even more pressure on employers.
And if unions can't organize when workers finally have the leverage, maybe you need to talk to THEM about what the fuck they are doing, instead of appeal to worker's interests.
We will never go back to the days where Jimmy Hoffa and the unions owned Michigan and the middle class thrived. The corporations fought back and won.
In the past they couldn't send their jobs to China. Today they can.
That new normal you are talking about? You make it sound shitty. Because it is.
Yet, you fight against those that want to change it.
If people like you, would stop supporting the status quo, together we could change it in months.
Why are you standing by those that are benefiting from fucking the American worker? Because they told you that the GOP was racist?
Wake the fuck up. Stop being a willing dupe.
