you are right about your stance on unions. don't let him manipulate your position by painting you out to be an evil sweat-shop monster.

you are fine holding your ground. if sweatshops were a bad choice for those involved, they wouldn't be working in them. compared the choices we have in the US, they are a bad choice but compared the choices of the workers in 3rd world countries they represent a great opportunity.

People are getting paid 30-40$ a hour as demanded by the union. They fucking bolt on doors and shit... I personally don't think you should make that much for doing something a trained monkey could do. Half the fucking shit is automated now anyway in gm factories. so they are in actuality paying the fat fucks of the unions to push fucking buttons. Unions should be disbanded imo.

You wouldn't be working a 40 hour week if it weren't for unions.
You wouldn't get workers comp if it weren't for unions.
Each and every foot of progress made on behalf of the American working class is a result of the unions.


Unions are why companies are taking their business to other countries. It's a failing system. 40 hours a week... people should be working more than 40 hours a week. Workers comp. well that should be more dependant on circumstances. too many people take advantage of work comp in dishonest ways.
