Would you support 7 day work weeks?

Get rid of unions, so they can get 5 days worth of work out of these people.

You must be a American. Only a American would take it straight up the ass and think it's a good thing. The fact is the American worker works harder and longer hours than the western world. Also the U.S. out produces any country for less money. So the answer is to work more fucking hours? Unions build this Country and made it great. Only 7% of the US belong to Unions. What I'm taking about is your freedom and how fast it can be taken away.

What this means in reality is that bosses can force workers to work seven days and get rid of ones who won't. It's just another in a series of pro-capital anti-labour laws passed by a state Governor who is bought and paid for by a couple of billionaire fossil fuel magnates. It should not be allowed.

What is important is output per hour worked, not number of hours worked. For instance, French workers produce more in their 35 hour workweek than American workers do in 47. But increased productivity means increased investment and training in/of labour by business. It's cheaper just to force people to work long hours and deny them the right to organise so you can pay them as little as possible.

Freedom.....what's free about a Union? Are dues free? Will they allow you to work peacefully without being part of one? Is THAT free?

I've got the Freedom of CHOICE, I can choose to take a job or choose not to, I don't have to ask permission if I choose to work longer hours.

Unions had their time in the spotlight and now they are bloated and all they do is keep alcoholics from getting fired.

Unions protect the rights of workers from being exploited by bosses who make unnecessary cuts to get bonus payments.

My best friend is a Union Delegate.

He earns $175,000 per year for doing ......... NOTHING

Plus all the supplies he can steal out of the Union Hall storage closets.

My lord, do you lefties think EVERY boss is Ebenezer Scrooge


"I'm a eeeeevil boss, I want to fuck over the people who help me run MY FUCKING BUSINESS!!!!"


....I'm a boss, I'm not a fucking dictator, fuck sakes. I want my workers happy as they work better when they are happy, and their families are happy, and my business grows because the feeling it leaves people with is happiness, and safety, and trust....and if they don't feel that way I don't make as much money, ergo I don't need a fucking union.


Look what great deeds Unions have done for Detroit, Youngstown, et al....yeah those places look REAL fun and happy

How many employees do you have ?

[El Kabong]

How many employees do you have ?

5....so not enough to warrant unionizing, besides, I pay them well and have continuously honored their loyalty to me....more than any thug Union boss would do.

I'm Canadian.

The fact is, for every story of a greedy company fucking it's employees, there's a story about an overreaching union protecting shitty/lazy/corrosive employees. ESPECIALLY in government jobs.
