Comments on: Why Workers Unite

CBS News' Brian Goldsmith Interviews SEIU Leader Anna Burger

Workers can unite because they can unite. The laws say so. Men DIED to get that right. Henry Ford would still be alive today, albeit very wrinkled, with the billions upon billions his company makes/made. Men just wanted to be treated fairly. They didn't want to die on the line. The money was always secondary. And that is your history lesson for today.

"Workers of the world unite"
IS NOT an American slogan

But it does explain why liberals like unions so much.

Another Labour-fakir peddling a 'pant load' as sound labour policy. These people have been selling out Labour for decades...trying to inculcate the false idea in the minds of America's Working class that they are really Middle Class and should sit quietly by while the nice Capitalists divvy up the spoils of an Oligarchical Economy in which administered prices are disguised as being determined by market forces--or, "market farces" as I like to call them--such as Enron's dog and pony show of traded energy.

Working Americans need to stick together, form their own party and shake off their handlers who steer them to the Democratic--and, as has been the case with the Teamsters--the Republicans.

A day is not enough, because they can go back to their moneyed lifestyle the next day, after a couple glasses of Dom they will forget again.

Here's a better idea, take away their access to money and credit, for a month, jo job, start from zero. Let them start out homeless, and see how far they can get in one month in a city like LA, or New York, or worse, Detroit.

They won't soon forget that lesson...
