Yup, bring back the 88 hour work week, no benefits, no vacation, no health care, no sanitary working conditions, no pension, no life insurance, no Constitutional rights for employees, and no taxes for the bosses.
American financial problems go back to about the 1970"s when middle class wages and benefits flat-lined and the wealthy continued to benefit financially. What doesn’t seem to be realized is that a strong middle class is necessary in order to create demand. Income disparity in America is a major and continuing problem. Wisconsin did not help.
My grandfather died in the mines because there was no union. Unions helped give working people a decent wage. Nothing lasts for ever, but my union still works for me, so I’m happy that we’ve got one.
why do people hate unions? even the word union has a negative response to some people. would they hate audi since it stands for auto union? would they hate credit unions? or, taxpayer unions like americans for tax reform or national taxpayers union? even the state of wisconsin has a number of towns named union.

the problem is many unions do not speak for the workers but do dig deep into their pockets and are lazay-fair with all management practice
