An excuse to race to the bottom. Te wonderful Right-wing is screwing America yet again. - David Glover Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:01:40 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/how-to-kiss-your-job-goodbye/#comment-1483 I worked for Brown College, a school owned and presumably operated by Career Education Corporation for close to 20 years before being terminated covertly for having cancer, and thereby creating an undue hardship for the corporation according to CEC. I have no insurance as a result of their covert and unexplained actions and will no doubt end up dying in poverty. So, another good way to get fired is to get terminally ill. - Stephen Morse Tue, 01 Sep 2009 04:59:13 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/how-to-kiss-your-job-goodbye/#comment-1482 The unions have helped the worker and working conditions. No one is arguing that point. The issue at hand is, "Have they done their job to well"? No legitimate business in the United States (and most of the free world) with all the government over-site, could even begin to regress to the point of violating workers rights to the point where paying insurance/dues to the unions would be profitable. Let the system work, allow businesses to invest their money in improving their processes and not supporting an administrative behemoth that's benifits could best be achieved through an open market environment. - Mid-Western view Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:48:55 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/how-to-kiss-your-job-goodbye/#comment-1476 A union cannot have monopolistic powers, as claimed in this article. At best a union creates a duopoly, since without a union, ownership/management of the company is the sole arbiter of power (i.e. a monopoly). The union could only have monopolistic powers if it were the sole arbiter of policy, which it cannot be unless the company is employee-owned. A company with a union is a far better example of democracy than a non-union company since it provides a check, and therefore an avenue of compromise, between overarching power by either the workers or executives. Certainly there are union abuses, as there are abuses in all fields of power. However, the benefits that unions have brought to union and non-union workers across the board -- better working conditions, hours, wages, benefits, etc. -- far outweigh the abuses. - Sean Leary Fri, 28 Aug 2009 07:13:49 +0100
