ParticipantAs for the union influence on the auto industry, do any of you commenting on this work in that industry or have relatives that do? I can tell you growing up in the Midwest with my father heavily involved in that industry his whole life that there is absolutely no question at all that the unions have ruined the us automakers. Study the Monday car syndrome on the web. We actaully had one of these, it is true.
Analyze which car makers have done the best and you will see that they are union free companies. You can argue that it was bad decision making by management but they were being held hostage. Also study the foreign manufacturers like Mercedes that make some of their cars in the US and some overseas. You will see that the US made ones especially in Alabama ( spartanburg, not exactly sure what city their SUV plant is in ) have had the worst quality ratings, and low and behold, it is a unionized plant.
Unions had their purpose originally but have morphed into another self entitlement skit for lazy americans. Terrible quality at a higher price, some business model. Whenever given a choice of doing business with a unionized and non unionized company, I always give my business to the non-unionized one even if it means paying more to do so. The UPS strike was a perfect example, they caused me some serious problems, now I use their competition and gladly pay more for more reliability.

ParticipantIt seems to me that Sean Hannity would be running with this story if it had any real credence to it. I would love for it to be true, because I am very worried about what is upon us with him. However, it has been kicking around for long enough now that if there was any real meat to it, FOX news would be all over it.
Just my opinion, not based on any facts at all.

ParticipantI can only hope that is a true story. Of course another way to combat it is just lay people off to offset the impact of increased taxes as well as cut back on philanthropy, which is what I and many friends that employ people plan on doing. I doubt the class warfare that is starting will be won by the poor, but let’s have at it and see.
It is a shame that will be the outgrowth, but alot of you that are so eager to get back at people that have greater wealth are going to be sorry you got what you asked for. I am just a dumb commodities trader but many of my very successful friends are very smart. I doubt seriously that lessor accomplished people will be able to outwit them in this ensuing battle. Some may get a check with some of my money but it will be followed by a pink slip and I doubt the chunk they get from me will be enough to offset being umemployed for an extended period of time.
