It will be interesting how the Unions come out on the financial crisis. They have been quiet in Australia, though many are putting in for needed pay rises. One Union was offered less than the inflation rate (which is a crock of crap that is since 1993) and ostracised for striking. "Capatilist pigs' have always had a bad ring tone

U.S. Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Midland, was quoted saying how much he loves Jesus. In a later article, when asked why he thinks the auto industry is in so much trouble, he blamed labor unions. Never mind that General Motors' CEO received a bonus last year in excess of $20 million. Great thinking! Let's blame everything on workers who give their blood, sweat and tears for big corporations. I think of Wal-Mart executives instructing workers to vote for Republicans because they would make it harder for workers to organize. Or Verizon destroying employees' pension plans while paying their corporate officers huge bonuses. Where is the justice? Without organized labor, American workers would be without paid vacations, paid sick leave, fair wage and hour laws, health insurance and a national minimum wage.  </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/88436680-0BC8-43B8-B10B-07B75B40A12B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
