Welcome to IWETHEY!

New imnsho, no union is a good union.
[link|mailto:jbrabeck@attbi.com|Joe]
New Yup, let's go back to the days before unions.
That was sooooo much better.

But, no. I guess the corporate community has learned it's lessons - Business would never go back to creating conditions that gave birth to unions in the first place, after all. And - competition would take care of those corporations that abused workers. After all, we have great anti-trust protections that prevent corporate collusion on compensation to workers. Just look at the music industry!

Mind you, unions as implemented now are an attempt to monopolize the labor force, as well - they need (more) regulation to promote competition between unions just as business needs (effective) regulation to promote competition.

I'm no fonder of unions (in thier current incarnation), than an unregulated economy. They ARE necessary, though.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.
