for attacking business. You expect the US to be viewed as a favorable business climate for growing jobs WHY?
Won't it be strange the day that the government is providing food stamps to employees striking against them? |

current crop of clowns just don't get it? Of course this make so much sense! This proposal will get the engine of private enterprise and industry started, oh yes! |
|
|
So are you saying that Baca DOESN'T want to give food stamps to the courageous strikers? |

According to the Right, it's admirable when the Iranians stand up to the 'evil' guys in Iran, but not for the strikers who have an argument against the 'evil' here in our own country, right? Who determines the concept of wrongdoing, anyway? It seems our Rightwing thinks that they do, and forget the concept of freedom when the Right thinks that certain "freedoms" are selective. |
|
well, I can see some value in this. Not everyone in a union votes to go on strike.
And as much as I know everyone enjoys sticking it to ungrateful union members, if you're in an industry that requires membership in a union and you vote against a strike, you're screwed if the majority votes for it.
Why should you (and your family) starve through no fault of your own? |
|
Who said anything about "freedom"? My definition of "freedom" is the absence of coercion.
Who's coercing anybody to work for anybody?
Should I as a business owner have the freedom to fire a striking worker?
Is taking the industry of my labor (by force) to give foodstamps to a striking worker "freedom"? |
|
Dread says;Why should members who don't vote for the strike have to suffer.
Please tell me you are joking.Even if these dissenters were crazy enough to tell their union brothers and risk their wrath they still have to strike as one.Do you know anything of the union working environment? |

nation-wide protest against socialized healthcare.

Yes, I am familiar with union workings.
One strikes. All strike. Majority vote usually initiates a strike.
If you are one of the minority members who voted against a strike, of course you would not tell people. And, of course, you would honor the strike or risk sanctions when the strike ends (perhaps even job loss).
Which is why I am saying that I don't mind offering people assistance with purchasing basic food needs while they are on strike, because we don't know whether or not the person taking it is one of those who wanted to strike or one of those who did not wish to strike, but is being dragged along into it to the deteriment of their family. |

The strikers should get used to them,their jobs will not be back in this economy. |
|
|
Or is that just for the favorites of the union bosses? Some locals pay up to $200/week for strikers after week 2 presuming they've done their "strike duty." If that's SOP for unions then why should the state support strikers? To what extent is it state business to get involved in labor contract negotiations of prvate employers? |
|
"It is important the federal government is there to lend a helping hand to those courageous individuals who exercise their right to strike"
How about they appreciate they have a job these days. As a business owner, I work 12 hour days just to keep people employed. Half of the jobs come from the same place, smaller businesses.
Who pays your salary? And what positive contribution comes from your field?
Maybe they should be using their strike time to grow "victory gardens"?We can issue seeds instead of food stamps. Then they will become healthier since they can't buy any more junk from the store. There you go, health care and a food issue in one package. |
|
What will the government be doing to help the targetted business to defeat the strike? They are going to help both sides, right?

Have to pay for California and Detroits muck ups,
the embicile needs to ask for money, from his own state, otherwise they can get in line, just like every other person on welfare doe's. |

Then we should equally have no problem with providing financial assistance to those companies that the strike is being waged against to protect them from losses incurred while their operations are closed.
See the purpose of a strike is to see who has the stronger will to promote their agenda on the other. The workers lose pay for their beliefs and the company losses revenue and profits for their beliefs. That's how it works! |

Many who are in businesses as you are have had to lower prices just to survive. Some unfortunately have not been able to. Anyone who is able to continue to work in this environment should be happy. Stiking for more right now is moronic and certainly does not deserve a reward. The unions have a friend in the Whitehouse and regardless of the circumstances they will push their agenda. Certainly not the way to get the country back on its feet. |

BK: anyone who has been in a union knows the drill. I cannot believe where this country is right now. Anyone can do anything... with no adverse consequence. The government is going to fix all your woes. What can you say about all of this...non-productive, diminishes personal responsibility, and taints the entire process.
So, we can now bankrupt a company, to aquire what it is we think we are "entitled too" and walk away. Maybe the strikers/union officials should be sued for damages and have to repay the organization for the loss of productivity and job losses? |

Not to worry. If the union destroys the company the government will just take it over and we the tax payer will foot the bill. It is the new American way. Looks like the union did pretty good with the GM bailout. |
|
is more than unemployment. They don't have to strike it's a choice. When did demanding more money from your employer get to be a right? If you don't like the pay go somewhere else.
Food stamps for those who willingly put themselves out of work is a waste of my tax dollars. Wonder how many will end up selling them to keep up their selfish lifestyle? Regardless if you put loyalty to a union and things above feeding yourself and your family you deserve to eat out trash cans. |

If a person decides to strike that is there right and should exercise if the feel the deserve more money for the work they do. However, no one is forcing them to strike, therefore; they know the consequences of a strike. They shouldn't look for goverenment assistance programs for support. |
