Your sample is absurd american workers cannot compete with slave labor and never should.

Many factors contributed to the decline of US steel environmental laws had a huge impact.

Yes in China you can pay labor nothing and pollute at will much like US Steel did before environmental laws.


Funny though Germany still remains a manufacturing power house even with Unions and environmental laws.

Peddle your anti worker rubbish to someone who will buy it.laugh
yep,just look at the US-Labor-Landscape!:laughing:
Yes,and look at your Union-Fatcats,in bed with Corporations and Government!
Screwing the Worker at every turn!:laughing:
But you'll wise up eventually!
After you see the difference of Unionism between the US and Europe!:laughing:
Enlighten me Mr. Conrad I know as little about European Unions as you do about US Unions.

Please give me your hands on expert opinion.

Unions are not dead despite the awful economy and sometimes they are the only answer to corporate greed.

The real answer is an education and/or a desired skill. US is moving away from manufacturing. As our society advances we will need more degreed people and higher and higher percentages if available jobs will require them.


If we continue to work for the corporate kings, who will really served in the end?

Not to mention that the latest in unemployment news is that some 25% of minimum wage jobs, that used to go to high school kids, are now manned by college educated poeple - and that's on top of the 40% of college graduates who are unemployed.

Your words of wisdom are so 1970.


Where do you get your information? 30% of American adults have a bachelor degree then 40% of that is 12% which is higher than our total unemployment.

Whats the difference?

1 Lets take Direct TV for instance.. They recently were in a dissagreement with Viacom.

Viacom wanted more money for programming they supplied and it came to where Viacom cut alot of channels from Direct Tv while they were still in negotiations with Direct Tv.

Who suffered Direct Tv Subscribers untill they reached a deal.

Now Viacom delivers a product under contracts for a certain period of time.. When the time is up they negotiate another contract or stop thier services to Direct Tv. which they did.

Now is Viacom a Big Bully Union? No So my question is whats the difference in what Viacom did and the negotiations Unions do for contracts as the header described?

Good luck with the logic approach it never seems to go over well with certain personalities.
