So speaking my mind if it contradicts what you are saying is what?
No, you speaking the mind of others for them without asking them.
"Socialism" or industrial unionism (whatever you want to label it) was a major part of the most prosperous period on record and was committed to better wages and working conditions for all. Now you are saying following an agenda of pushing down others for the betterment of a few is going to bring back the better wages for everybody? What? That doesn't make sense.
I never stated I wanted to push anyone anywhere. It is your philosophy of holding those very people from a free choice, that is my issue. Industrial revolution and industrial unionism are two different things. Industrial revolution was for the betterment of society. Industrial unionism brings everyone in that society to an equal level even if some of those people do not contribute to that society. I believe the term "freeloaders" could be used to describe such people.
If pointing out the flaws in the craft unionism will save us all argument is taking someone down then...okay. Call it what you will. It doesn't detract from the fact that if the craft union philosophy is what you are educating people on then so be it but at least tell the truth. There will be fewer jobs that pay more wages. Not all of us will get one. The high seniority class, whether they want it or not will get it. Like I said, I don't agree with the philosophy even though I will benefit by it greatly and so will AA's senior executives. Just tell the truth, the airlines that have the higher wages for in-house staff also have fewer in-house staff per aircraft. If they vote for that then so be it.
I believe that every group is capable of flaws. I just have grown tired of the very representative I pay, not performing and certain individuals that are unelected living under the same conditions imposed by their inability to provide for the ones they represent.
Manifest destiny? This isn't the 1800's. The last guy that tried that was defeated in Europe during WWII.
It isn't the 1930's or 1940's either.
Manifest Destiny in Europe was an individuals push for power at the behest of the people. In this country, I believe it was a believed right of people to expand and grow. ( giving that the American Indian was still oppressed ) The socialistic TWU is and has been suppressing that expansion and growth for the last 30 years.
China pays less than $5/hour. I never said go work there however we could do German socialism. LHT pays more than us, labor sits on the BOD, they have socialized healthcare, more holidays, five weeks of vacation minimum, a government controlled pension, and if the CEO allows the company to have a negative value and doesn't file BK he is thrown in jail. I could definitely go for that. One of the richest countries in the Europe is also very socialistic.
The Chinese wage, is that calculated into our pay, as to bring it down to the masses?
Before you quote the German system, I would hope that you are speaking from experience, because I can.
The Occupy movement has been invoked many times as the masses rising up against corporate greed not unlike the kind going on at AA currently. Quite a few people care about it. Marching on HDQ like the APA and APFA is a very similar type of movement against corporate greed at the expense of the working middle class.
Yes and the Tsarist Russian was taken down by the revolution of 1917 and stopped by Ronald Reagan years later.
Reagan helped bust unions, raised taxes, and provided the largest immigration amnesty program ever for illegal aliens. He is full of contradictions like all of us.
