-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
Good old CPS. During covid they wanted something or they weren’t going back to the classroom. They got it and then wanted something else or they weren’t coming in to work. Ok, and then they wanted.. what a crock from these people and their Marxist union that holds an entire city hostage.
That’s union POWA! Don’t you want the same kind of backing for your personal job welfare? Admit it; I bet you do. You’ll likely pounce to say I’m wrong, but I think jealousy is what’s your main problem here. Look in the mirror and tell the truth.
That’s correct. They hate us because we stand up for what we want. They would rather kiss the feet of corporations than demand better wages and benefits. Their loss. We will continue to organize and negotiate the best possible contract for our members. The union haters can stuff it. Enjoy your low wages and low quality of life.
And you don’t kiss the alligator shoes of your union admins that exhorted you to vote for Joe, the man that invited 10-15M illegals here to work for lower wages? Enjoy watching union wages disappear like your officials will in the dead of night. “ And the union people crawled awaaaay..” Billy Joel “ Allentown “.
Too bad they never use some of that POWA to make sure kids don’t get passed through the primary grades without basic reading and math skills.
Admit it. You know the reason kids in your class couldn’t learn was that they were never taught the basic tools of learning.
Look in the mirror.
The ghosts of those who were cut loose by Wisconsin Steel and EMD due to inflated employment costs brought on by ‘union powa’ would like a word with you…
nah, we good. If companies go out of business because they can’t pay their employees properly they deserve it. A business that only survives by screwing over its employees is not a real business model. In the meantime, we will keep demanding the best possible wages and benefits. We are prepared to accept that some businesses will not make it. Threats of going out of business will not intimidate us. Union Strong👊
Tell that to your ‘brothers’ who are out of a job when the business closes.
Gladly. They can get another union job or if they are scared about it happening again they can go work for peanuts by a company that hates unions. We all have decisions to make. Strong union members will not back down or be scared by threats of closure. You beg for scraps while we get what we deserve.
Nahwegood, your candor regarding your utter contempt for your union brothers and sisters is telling. When you kill the goose, the eggs stop coming, and your response is ‘tough, we got what we deserved – now go starve’. I had family that ‘got what they deserved’ when the Rock Island Railroad shut down because BRAC’s Fred Kroll similarly couldn’t see reality. I remember those lean days only too well. Kroll’s hubris and belligerence killed whole communities that have never recovered to this day. Thousands of jobs lost in the middle of a recession. The Union fat cats could not care… Read more »
Well Sigmund, when you’re done speculating as to what I think and feel know this- I’m retired with two pensions and throughly relieved I no longer have to kick some of my paycheck back to some union official with a pinky ring and gold chain only interested in the well being of union administrators.
August 3rd it will be back to the way it was July 1st. All the pigs will be feeding at the trough. They do it every year . Layoff then rehire
