No food stamps for any family of a striking worker

[Truthmatters]

why so many Americans seek to be ruled by the corporations is beyond me

 

[Truthmatters]

So you feel all workers offer the same work ethic and output?
Is it fair to worker A who busts his butt to be in on time and does not call in becuase of 2 inches of snow on the ground and only used 2 of his sick days as he did not consider a stuffed nose as being sick should get no more consideration than the employee that uses every sick day afforded him by contract (whether he is sick or not); and calls in everytime it snows out?

Do you truly believe that every employee in any given company has the exact same work ethic?

And assuming you are smart enough to realize that not every worker has the same work ethic...what do you think happens when there is no recognition of a better work ethic? DO you think the lazier worker steps up to meet the ethic of the other....or do you think the other is more likely to say "what the hell am I working so hard for....my co-worker calls in sick once a week and and I get no more than he does"

What do you think the outcome would be?

And...of course...no response to the above.

Several pages of responses...but still not nterested in addresssing this TM?

Why is that?

Its all meaningless crap and not what Unions do.

Now tell me how much you know about the start of unions in the US?

 

[boedicca]

How much do you know about how unions function today?

 

[Truthmatters]

More than you because all you know is right wing talking points

Which corporation is trying to rule us? Which one do we want ruling us?

My guess: You can't name this non-existant all powerful corporation.

 

[boedicca]

TMN iss a LAIR!

Yeah, first hand experience dealing with unions is just ring wing talking points.

 

[Provocateur]

Workers are the American people.

Why do you not care about them?

Why do you hate Mexicans?

 

[boedicca]

I broke the TMN code long ago.

Anything she doesn't understand (which encompasses most of the known universe of knowledge), she claims is a right wing talking point. It's rather how prehistoric savages blamed anything bad on the Thunder God, or some such Entity.

My dear, I can't think of a single thing that isn't beyond you. You live in a vaccum.

 

[Truthmatters]

willow do you think a striking worker who makes so little they qualify for food stamps should have their food stamps taken from their kids ?

Yes, I do. He's got a job, he's working, he choosse not to work but to run around with a picket sign. I don't fell like feeding him or his kids. You send him a check. I will feed the man who has no job.

 

[boedicca]

TMN,

What do you think the purpose is for the dues that union members have forcibly withheld from their paychecks? Why aren't these used for strike funds?

The answer is because the money goes to lavish pay and benefits for union officials and big campaign donations for the Dems. If union workers are starving, start with them.

*helpfully*

So jyou are for a poltical test for food stamps.

If some one doesnt agree with your poltics take their foodstamps from them.

 

[boedicca]

People who quit their jobs are not eligible for unemployment beneifts.

People who walk out on their jobs should not be eligible for forms of welfare.

Try again. Wel'' talk slow.



Got a Job???? good


Choose not to work???? Bad..





No food stamps for you.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Union membership, average real income, and the condition of the working class were all much higher in the 50s

try again

I thought this was 2011.

And in the past 60 years, union membership and real income have both declined

The world has changed. We are in a global economy now. Unions didn't want to adjust and that's why there are far fewer of them today.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

No, I just have worked for corporate America, and know how they treat their workers when they don't have to deal with unions.

I have been in one job where I was in a union and that was because I had to join, not because I wanted to.

Every other job I have had some have treated me badly, some have treated me well. The ones that don't treat their people well lose them.

Like I said before, if you don't like your job find another one. You're not entitled to anything.

 

[Truthmatters]

Now go read about what it was like before we had unions

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Is there a reason why you feel the need to keep pointing out what is irrelevant and relevant to the conversation?

Irrelevant points to the discussion distract from it and are only added to be a red herring.

With your post, I see you have made some assumptions about me. Do you feel you are better than me because I stick up for unions?

No, I am just more intelligent than you are, that's all.
