remember the pertinent word in that phrase. 'Peacefully' assemble. You know, like Tea Partiers, unlike union thugs.
What are you saying here Blue? That all union members are thugs? That because there are bad actors who are union members we should deny others their constitutional rights?
What Chinese companies/products does your company compete with?
In my work (TV production), non-union shoots pay more than union scale because the non-union productions have to offer competitive rates
Does your work pay above union scale so they can compete for the best workers with union shops?
None. But our board-level products are Made In China now. I build TV/Music/Post-Production audio consoles. And yes, our next product line will be fully built in China.
My company will be dead in 10 years if sh#t doesn't change. Unions would make that worse.
TGT..It took me a while to notice the mis-spell....That's hilarious...My ex gf was a union rep for MEA and she could rip you a new one...If you don't behave i'll send her down there and have her re-arrange your playhouse....RJ

Yes, pretty much. Much more so than Tea Party types.
And there is nothing in the Constitution about unions or workers rights, despite how you'd like to twist the language therein. Current Federal Law works. As does State law.
Maybe you should switch over to actual audio production, on TV shows or in post, which can't be outsourced
Of course then, you'd have to join the Guild, or work non-union only - which gets old quick, when everyone around you is raking it in on union shoots, getting benefits, pension etc
Well, I'm a Master Technician and head up the repairs, which can't yet be outsourced. But my production bros are gonna get screwed.
Nice to hear you have a cushy union gig! I hope it gets yanked from you and you have to compete in a real market of skills. May the best man win.
I was just calling for fair competition in the free market, without union bullshit and rules.
I compete in that market, as do so many other competent people.
Did you know I could not enter a San Francisco studio to do work until a union rep showed up, just to oversee and watch? Do you know how much of my time that wasted? And he didn't even watch me work!!!

You know, there's nothing about having political parties in the constitution and many of the founding fathers were against them
TGT...It aint the teachers....Maybe it has to do with the fact that the parents don't give a crap about education or maybe the parents have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet and don't have time to mentor their kids...Attacking the teachers is just a Koch brothers rue to pay teachers minimum wage so the stinkin rich can squirrel a few more dollars away...But maybe you are part of the 2%...?
Or, accept that the only way to survive is to lower your standards - your call.
Apples unt Oranges. Germany operates differently than the US. It is mostly Socialist. Also, they have almost zero defense budgets because we defend them.
Why not compare us to China? They're doing good, right?
Let us know!
