[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] [QUOTE]Couple of questions for you SF... [/QUOTE]Ok, let's do it. [QUOTE]Why in the phuck would you view the union workers as the "greedy ones" in the above scenario?[/QUOTE]Well, let's see...they were already making $18 an hour(over twice Cali's minimum wage)...in a state with 12%+ umemployment... And apparently that wasn't good enough. [QUOTE]All they have done is organized to get themselves and their families a LIVING WAGE and some benefits... [/QUOTE]By [i]extorting[/i] the business with threats of striking if they don't get what they want. [QUOTE]$25.00 an hour, medical benefits, and a pension is NOT GREED... [/QUOTE]No? That's three times minimum wage...probably another multiple added in through the medical benefits and a LIFETIME of wages long after they are no longer providing any benefit to the company... Nope, not greedy at all. [QUOTE]What about the company? Why aren't you pissed off at them? They are the ones passing the costs on to you, the consumer...Why shouldn't they absorb the increase in labor costs out of their already massive profits?[/QUOTE]Ignoring the fact that I'm against pot farming on priciple...Why would I be pissed off at them? Because they are making people pay for the costs associated with providing the product\service? That's simply business, Buck. If you don't do that you don't stay in business long. Competition with drive you out of business if you can't maintain a certain profit margin. [QUOTE]Massive profits and the unwillingness to share those profits with their workers is GREED... [/QUOTE]Why is that greed, Buck? Did the workers invest their money to build the company? Did the workers share in the financial risk? If the company goes south do they lose their life's savings? If the company gets sued, are the workers liable for the damages? The owner's are the ones taking the risk, Buck...they have every right to the rewards. [/QB][/QUOTE]
