    ***UPDATE***

    Wow Gents: just wow...

    If you read today's obscure news you'll find that they were raiding the staffs pensions to keep the company solvent. That's just stealing if you ask me!

    More importantly!! For the first time (for me anyway) you hear that that is exactly why the union was putting up the fight!

    If that really is the case - and seemingly it is -> the Union was 100% right!!

    I read the story and really began to question if more regulation is really wrong! It reeks of the United States government dipping into our social security! Hope the man never goes broke .

    That's a right every worker should have. Along with the right to not withdraw their labor at the wishes of the majority, and the right to bargain wage increases on their own behalf.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    That is no problem in a union shop. Just go company and you can withdraw your labour and bargain your own wages without being held ransom by the wishes of the majority. Everyone has that choice. Each choice has strings attached, different strings but strings all the same. There ain't no free lunch.

    As a guy with an English degree, other than Machiavelli, Locke, and Kant, I haven't heard any of the names you people mentioned...are you all professors of history, or realllllly don't like spending time with your wives?

    I haven't experienced the restriction that you can't bargain on your own behalf. In my department of 20 employees I know 2 for sure and think a 3rd that are making over scale. I haven't seen anything in our contract that limits the highest amount you can make, only the minimum.
