The comments on that article are ridiculous. The anti-union attitude, many of which I assume are from other American worker bees, shows how much big business’ anti organized labor propaganda assault since the 70s has worked.

Unions exist to claw back a little bit of white meat from the shareholders (who have made an ungodly amount of money the last 50 years) to the people actually generating that profit.

Anyone cashing a check from an employer is on the same team, and that shareholder is trying to make that check smaller and smaller for all of us no matter how big or small it is.

Yup.



They deliver worse products and have squeezed out more production from workers in the name of shareholder compensation. I'm no communist, but it has really gotten out of hand. I believe founders should be rewarded, but these empty suit CEOs who come in later and whose sole purpose is to pump up stock prices at the expense of their own employees and customers are a real problem.

Americans are easily manipulated by their Masters.
Just look at how easy it was to get the population behind invading and bombing countries that posed no threats and did nothing hostile towards the United States after 9/11.
