[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 289920, member: 694"] Wewild most people that gripe about the union working man are just jealous envious people. I am not a Union worker but lets look at this. Most of the people that made the unions were the returning war veterans that felt like you should have a decent place to work. Let's take the Coal Miner his life expectancy was 10 to 15 years less than the average American. He felt like he should have a safe enviroment to work in this was long before NIOSH. He fought for a forty hour work week that was an evil thing to do Oh or you can think the company gave it out of the goodness of there heart. He fought for a pension plan so he wouldn't have to die an old man in the mine, He fought for a sickness and a disability insurance so when he developed black lung and died his wife and kids would at least be able to eat. He did all this evil while mining coal so we could bellyache about the cost of electricity. Henry Ford was one of the most horrendous owners of all time for his treatment of workers. Read up on your history Ford got what he asked for. Today's American worker enjoy benefits won by union workers of vaction's, medical plans, retire plans, and a safe work enviroment even if the company they work for isn't union for fear they will go. We have the highest standard of living in the world and it is because the returning war veteran wanted a better life for his family and he won this war also by organizing. Congress passed the 2006 pension act recently if you are in to some light reading of about 900 pages you should read how they are going to break it off in the American workers by reducing their pension formula's. This is to stop the the Enron Exec's from robbing the funds as they have been for the last 30 years. To fully fund the plans the government formula for pensions has been revised to reduce the workers pension. Instead of making the companies live up to the ERISA act of 1976 they penalize the American worker. [/QUOTE]
