Unions had their day and we thank them. With OSHA and other government agencies looking out for our welfare, unions are no longer necessary. They politiced themselves out of the need to have them. They then became a money making machine charging large dues, taking the money to pay off democrats for what they wanted. The demands got larger as greed resulted. More money for more demands became the norm. Of course the money to pay for the demands is coming from taxpayers who have had enough and the states and citizens are suffering as s result. These days we all need to pay into our retirement and health benefits. I do so you do too. You need to stop living off of me and take responsibility for your own affairs. It is only fair. The problem though is that I will never see the money you will pay into your benfits as the state will keep my money to turn around the mess the unions have put us into. The levels are unsustainable and the only way to correct it is to pay more taxes. We pay too much now, people are leaving and no new people or businesses are flocking to our once great state. The dues you will save can help pay for your benefits so its not a total loss. So all the posturing previously taken to threaten work slowdowns and strikes is now backfiring. You reap what you sow. Reality check....take responsibility...and lets move on. The public sector has for the sake of the economy and continuous work.

So you are rooting for the demise of the middle class?

Nah, there will still be a middle class. Luckily the middle class isn't all taxpayer subsidized.

Like the oil companies?

 

You have no idea what all this is leading to do you?

The middle class is in demise because of the taxes being paid to subsidize unions, state paid pensions, and state paid health benefits. Middle class is not union members, it was the people who paid the taxes. They are now lower class. Congrats union members. You can be proud of yourselves.

America needs manufacturing jobs back. Not unions. Especially Broome County.

If you want a manufacturing job you will have to move overseas. However, if the wealthiest people and corporations in this country have their way by busting up the unions in 5 or 10 years you will be able to get a manufacturing job in this country and be paid slightly over the rate they are paying the Chinese to do it which is 75 cents an hour.

It's interesting that we are wringing our hands over the impending oil crisis but it is still cheaper to produce our goods overseas and ship them here.

 

American workers, stop whining, your jobs will return when you accept the wages and working conditions of Asia and South America.

We're getting there -

 

A U.S. Recovery Built on Low-Paying Jobs

 

Before she lost her job last November as a full-time health department caseworker in Aurora, Ill., Amy Valle was making $23 an hour. Now she's paid $10 an hour as a part-time assistant coordinator in an after-school program. "From here on out, it will be a struggle," says Valle, 32, whose husband lost his $50,000 government job and still is out of work after a year. "I don't feel like there's any place we can go to get what we were getting paid."

 

While the unemployment rate dropped to 9 percent in January, from a two-decade peak of 10.1 percent in October 2009, many of the jobs people are now taking don't match the pay, the hours, or the benefits of the 8.75 million positions that vanished in the recession, according to Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics in Toronto.

Public sector unions are the enenmy of the middle class. They must be eliminated.

The real goal of this is to reward the G.O.P.’s wealthiest patrons by crippling what remains of organized labor, by wrecking the government agencies charged with regulating and policing corporations, and, as always, by rewarding the wealthiest with more tax breaks. The bankrupt moral equation codified in the Bush era — that tax cuts tilted to the highest bracket were a higher priority even than paying for two wars — is now a given. The once-bedrock American values of shared sacrifice and equal economic opportunity have been overrun.
