Hey, nobody wants to see the other side of the corporate debate, however- the role of the big unions in killing the geese that lay the golden eggs. Yes, it is sad to see people who count on their pensions get screwed. But it isn't just their company who is screwing them- it's their unions as well. They negotiate all these unrealistic deals for the workers and force the company to compete with cheaper foreign labor at a disadvantage, and the companies either lay off, go to a foreign country themselves for the cheap labor or go broke. Yes, the workers get screwed, but it isn't just the companies' fault. It's also OUR fault. Who among you wants to pay a premium for goods and services so the workers get to keep their cushy pension deals? Anyone, anyone? I didn't think so. Look in the mirror and see the other culprits in the equation. Us small businesspeople out on the edge know all about getting screwed from all directions. Nobody keeps us in business or worries about OUR pensions. or pays our healthcare, what their is of it. Right, Gary? And nobody cares what happens to us, either.
