Scb,
93% of workers work for employers that have the right under the law to terminate their employment at any time. It's called at will status. Those lucky 7% that you are saying is destroying America are also subject to it at the expiration of the contract mutually negotiated and agreed to. You can't negotiate anything without leverage or you're not negotiating.
If a company wants to terminate an employee or all it's employs for that matter for no good reason, well they are probably not a responsible employer and should be held accountable to the public that purchases their product or services. See workers are in control of market demands when they asked the public to support their efforts and ultimately the public decides to patronize depending on that support. Very simple and that's because the workers own their own labor. Once agreed to a binding contract both parties are held to the standard they signed off on.
The vast majority of jobs shipped out of the country in the last 20 years have been non union ones with no fireworks attached to it. Quietly gone to countries with far cheaper labor.
Now your statement that our lowly ol 7% has singled handedly destroyed the economy is giving us way too much credit. Organized Labor has scared the capital out of this country? Lolololololololol!!!!!! The capital is here, it's exploiting workers all over the world for wages we earned in the early 1900s and that means it will pull ALL of our wages down in the long run including yours.
As far as unions destroying the middle class and are parasites. Unions are not institutions, they are comprised of people that come together for collective action and change with the times as the people see fit. Big business is driving down wages, opened the global market, runs the banks and insurance companies, lobbies congress, controls the media and has fed this rubbish to a point that you actually believe it. Lol.
Big business had big profits before the exit of jobs out of the country, that wasn't enough and they wanted more to go to just a few. They lobbied to trade with China, remember that communist country that they hated until they could exploit their labor? Wow, look at the capital and resources spent to build up the largest country in the world so they could make more money on products we no longer produce. Detroit was built because of American industry, innovation and hard working labor. Those companies made billions over time, created lots of millionaires, then exported the jobs out of the country. You know, companies tell their workers to save for a rainy day, but as soon as the economy has a wrinkle companies don't want to reach into their reserves. They want the worker to pay for it.
I say when it rains you should help your fellow man find shelter, not run for cover and only think of yourself.
