The Next Union Strike

Submitted by NewOldSalt on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 - 4:29 pm

I have my own demand for a strike. I demand the next time a union goes on strike it demands less money. That's right they need to demand a pay cut.

However, my proposal is they demand their top officers receive pay cuts.

Personally I'd like the see the extra money go towards making their products and services better, or even less expensive, but…

Personally I think Verizon, AT&T, the cable companies and many other “telcos” are greedy as hell. This is why I wrote the above essay.

And also why I wrote this other essay, “ Wireless Carriers Short Circuit Over FCC's Net Neutrality Stance.”

It’s a crying shame our government has been perverted by revolving-door politicians, military personnel, and others. They enrich themselves by robbing the rest of us, weakening our checks and balances system, cause further economic harms, gain the world but loose their souls.

But I again, reiterate my previous stance, expressed in the few sentences above. I have no problem with these workers going on strike, but they need to recognize that us customers are being robbed by their employers and collusion among the companies. If the workers only strike for higher pay for themselves, then they too are part of the problem and will only work to hasten our downfall. They can strike, but they need to strike for less pay, less pay and enrichment for their upper management.
