JFC. They didn't strike for MORE money. They were asked to take dramatic cuts because the company couldn't survive on it's current models. Like it or don't, try not to let your poolitical biases get in the way of facts. The election's over kids...

Won't matter for our economy if it is a European company that buys the name and makes them in China.

You know, there was a time at Sprint that everyone was willing to take paycuts to keep their job. Priorities I guess.

Twinkies are not a political issue.

Though true, it doesn't change the fact that they had a choice between taking the paycuts and losing their jobs. I guess I don't understand the situation well enough to know why losing your job would be the preferable option these days.

What kind of cuts were the workers talking about? Quote:
So let me get this straight...a private equity firm comes in and tells workers that if they want to keep working they have to make less money than they would get if they didn't work at all? And now somehow the people in a union saying, "screw that" are the bad guys? Awesome. What better way to pay back Republican Zomnies. Your tax dollars are paying for their unemployment because you can't do math, now go **** yourself. |
