Originally posted by Check View PostThey are doing much better though. GM actually reported a record number in their last quarter and Chrysler was left for dead, actually is doing fine. Ford is pretty strong too. I wouldn't say they killed it but had the fall out of 2008 never happened they would have, instead it was on life support. I do agree that unions in todays market do more harm than help though.
whether they're doing 'better' is up to individual standards i guess

Originally posted by Check View PostGotcha. You're right they certainly did a lot of harm. Unions were needed for the auto industry in the 40s, when people were being forced into 16 hour shifts or risk losing their job, but not in the 90s and beyond.
let the unions die and in the very near future you will be fighting again for safe work enviornments, fair pay and any kind of benifeits. We'll be right back to 1908 when it comes to work conditions and pay..........Rockin'Last edited by Rockin'; 03-25-2012, 07:50 PM.

Originally posted by One Capitalist View PostSo coming November here in Minnesota there is going to be a referendum vote on RoW. As of right now I'm heavily sitting on the side of voting for it. Is there a liberal here that can give me a cognitive reason why I shouldn't?
