| After USW Strike |
Simple Math. And, it hasn't even hit yet. They're Still working on good supply. Wait until late spring/early summer, when the driving season starts. Then you will be Fucked!! Oh yea, and here's one that I haven't talked about yet. However, CNN reports....
ILWU strike/slow down will not have a lasting effect on the nations economy. OK, well that's good but tell me that when I start paying $.50/lb MORE for a banana. This one you all have done. It doesn't matter if you're going to Wally World or Target, you reach down and buy that small toy for your little one, instead of paying five bucks it's now seven. I don't care who you are or what you say, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY!!!
They are complaining about; mind you they only make 140 grand a year out there, their PAY and HEALTH CARE COST. That's all fine and dandy, again it's always about the dollar. They "fought for better HC benefits cause that's what the union does. "Yea, we only got you 1.75% this year BUT the company is picking up an extra $20/week of your HC premiums". Well now, you have the "person" you helped put in office. This piece of shit started No' Bama Care. Somebody gotta pay for it. Contrary to Demoncrat beliefs, money doesn't grow on trees. Somebody gotta pay for it. Part of No' Bama's plan is to tax "Cadillac" plans. Which means all of you Union workers out there that have these great health care plans are going to be tax as if it was income. Yep, you will see it on your W-2. Instead of having an AGI of say 35 grand it will be 45. These guys are pissed because their adjusted gross income just went up by 40 grand a year. Well, that's what their HC plan is worth. I mean SHIT, you voted him in. You want a single payer system, there you go.
But here is the KICKER. We here at, I Hate Unions Dot Com are all about Solidarity. I mean that's what they stand for right? Solidarity? Community and Solidarity? Workers right are civil rights and solidarity, right? Better wage and solidarity, right? A living wage for all and solidarity? Safe and better working conditions/solidarity, right?
So if we are all about community, one for all and all for one, then what happens to that little Chinese kid that no longer has a job because you will not unload his goods off the ship? I mean seriously, what are you saying? I'm all about community until it cost me money or is it, "I give my one cup of coffee a day to that old white haired bastard to cover my conscience"? I feed one a month so I'm good? Because even if the goods that YOU should be unloading is not made by the same kids that I'm talking about, I guarantee that there is some youngster out there that depends on his/her efforts to support their family. Either by picking up wood or delivering food for the person that works at that factory. SO WERE IS YOUR SOLIDARITY NOW???
