I spend 3 times normal market value to wear clothes made in America, union textiles are still out there, I buy my food at the local farmers market, and that doesn't mean your local organic chain. I use bio-diesel and shun gasoline. My spring pig is almost ready to butcher, i'll trade most for beef and buffalo. If it went dark tonight and i mean forever.... will you survive. Who will unite with you in your stuggle.
I know lets ask the millions of people in the Ukraine what happens when free enterprise isn't checked by labor standards, but will that get them the heating oil they need? Oh yeah, i'm not on some farm in Nebraska, i'm in San Diego and i deal mostly with mexicans, cash business is good, I am a union carpenter, my family, GOD willing, will survive. When borders don't mean anything and salt, sugar and flour become our currency again, who will stand with you? Blame it on the unions, but we stand shoulder to shoulder with eachother, forgoing the needs of the few for the needs of the many.

We arent talking about the Ukraine... #1 The problems you spoke of before have changed for some reason now. #2 Do you beg and threaten for more money?#3 Do you think that they should pay you more for doing something that does not take (college education)#4 is it cool with you that these ppl make more than you to do less? #5 I know its not the first time and it wont be the last. #6 I would not blame the unions workers if it was just the company claiming that they need assistance due to the lack of sales. However its not that way. These union workers should have been a little more greatful and now its to late and im sure they are all eating the words that helped small problems turn into job ending ones.
Once again in closing is something better than nothing ? I think that everyone in america should go on strike abuse the welfare system and never break a sweat ever because its just not fair... BOO HOO support who you want and enjoy that. Everyone wants to make more money and only those who apply themselfs are in the actual pursuit of happiness. You are free to choose your destiny and if its asking for more than you put in you will lose.
