Big Box Ban - Thoughts?

I agree Unions were necessary way back when, to address so many abuses of the powers that were, child labor, detrimental working conditions, slave labor.

Unfortunately Unions got to full of themselves and became just as corrupt as politicians, all looking for riches and job security at the expense and ignorance of the populace.

Corporations were at one time demonstrated good citizenship toward workers and communities, sponsoring many good community works, providing a family living wage. That too had evaporated, and corruption has taken over even at the board room level! Now the only loyalty is to the bottom line, filling back dated stock options, and keeping investors happy, manipulating and jiggering the books.

Mahalo mella,

Thank you for helping me clarify my point. I'm definitely not Pro Corporation, nor am I Pro Sierra Club.

Despite not having a Union Card, I have always had good jobs and earned a good salary and taken care of my family, even here in Hawaii and EVEN WITH vacation, sick days, healthcare benefits.

My point was/is this:
I grew up in the MidWest and witnessed too much Union corruption (Construction), and way too many "fireproof" Union workers (Auto Industry) making way too much money to Insert Tab A into Slot B....with a coffee break every 5 minutes (Steel Workers).

I believe in the Right To Work. And I believe that if you are not getting the benefits you require, don't accept it and move on.

I also don't believe in legislation trying to save the few at the cost of the many.

So, now to go back to my original thought on this thread, who is our legislation trying to control with this Big Box Ban?
