Big Box Ban - Thoughts?

I don't care what anyone says, repealing all these worker’s laws are what we need. If all these laws are supposed to be good for workers, than why do sweatshops have no problem recruiting workers? I personally think the US should eliminate the minimum wage and let economics dictate it from there. If your employer can find someone willing to replace you for only $4.00 an hour, work 60 hours without overtime, and isn't going to ask for health care, it should be the call of the company, not the government or unions. If you need to make more than the person willing to work for less, just work longer days, more days a week, and stop taking vacations or time off to be with the family. Or get a second or third job. But don’t make me have to pay higher prices for goods and service to support your need for health care, vacations, disability protection, sick days, and weekends off.

You sure do give a lot of credit to unions. As I stated earlier they were good in their time.

What I can't uunderstand is how my state, a state that has very little union activity ended up with all these things that you accredit to the unions.

I'm amazed that you left out civil rights.. Didn't unions give us that as well? NO they didn't. Nor did they give us all the things that you seem to attribute to them. The reason my state, without unions, enjoys most of the things on your list is because that list as well as many other labor related things is the result of those pesky pinko commie left wing Liberals.

You can post all the stuff you want on PUNA web but nothing again NOTHING will change the fact that Unions crippled the ability for many US companies to compete on an international level.

Toyota now has several plants here. Building cars and trucks and making a profit. The people that work there are very happy and well paid.

Who'd a thunk it...
