is anyone keeping track of those who wouLd seLL out workers

[sniffa]

for the sake of their immediate convenience?

their rationaLe for siding with buisiness smeLLs, and no matter how it's presented, it's their seLfishness shining through.

what are those kinds of peopLe caLLed? 'bLackLegs'? 'scabs'?

[two gun sid]

1. Lackeys and Lickspittles of the employing class.

[calico1]

2. Scabs, union busters.

They would all have no problem crossing a picket line, I'm sure. :mad:

11. Hmmm...

Personally If I was jobless & barely making it like so many Americans I would cross any picket line in a heartbeat. I will not starve because someone else wants a few more bucks for healthcare but thats just my opinion.

16. You hurt your self and your family in the long run.

Your attitude is why the labor movement is hurting.

[calico1]

19. Right. And you would work for

whatever peanuts were offered to you, right? That's the attitude! The attitude that company big wigs LOVE and that help screw all workers in the long run.

[951-Riverside]

21. Better than 'leeching' of your tax dollars right?

No Job + No Money = Public Housing, Unemployment & Welfare all paid by YOU.

[LincolnMcGrath]

22. I reject the premise entirely.

If you are unemployed before a strike, it is not the labor unions fault and you still should not cross a line.

BTW Not many DUers are concerned with helping the poor with our tax dollars, that is a part of what they are for. Your use of the term 'leeching' speaks volumes.

14. The Brazilian term is "pelego." -nt

3. What if they analyze the situation

and determine, in their own minds, that the Union is being unreasonable?

7. No union has ever been or ever will be unreasonable...

in the history of the universe. Get back in line.

[sniffa]

15. then i'd say there's something wrong with that person

how many peopLe have had their pensions gutted in the past decade? how many of them have been toLd to suck it up since others get the shaft?

fuck that. it's way past time that someone(s) drew a Line in the sand.

[LincolnMcGrath]

17. If there ever is an unreasonable request, then we shall talk.

[two gun sid]

20. Do you know what the really great thing about a union is?

If you don't like what your leaders are doing you can actually do something about it by getting involved. My friend, The Union is us. We make the Union what it is. No gerrymandering of districts. One person, one vote. It is truly democracy in action.

Name one company or employer that would give you that kind of power in the workplace.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

26. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Lord knows it isn't a each time every time you better side with em 100% issue. At least not for me.

4. Yes, it does smell,

Although I can sympathize with those people who have been so terribly inconvenienced by this strike. Seems like the 'man' doesn't need to worry about taking mass transit, so it doesn't matter to him.

The average Joe is the one affected. And in NYC, most of the average Joes are dems.

[barb162]

5. They're Traitors. I follow this topic religiously

[LoZoccolo]

6. Keeping track of who? Why?

People here? For what?

[dogfacedboy]

8. Do you mean labor leaders, or rank and file members? n/t

[sniffa]

24. mainLy, LiberaLs - or DUers

[Tsiyu]

9. What amazes me is how these same sorts can

casually toss aside the fact that $1 Billion dollars suddenly shows up on the MTA's books. They were cooking the books WITH TAXPAYER MONEY but that's perfectly acceptable - not an inconvenience in the least.

It's a freakin' free market folks. The little guy works for the same thing you do: $$$$$$$$$

Why does this come as such a surprise, especially to those who make more $$$$$$$$$???????????????

[jonnyblitz]

10. don't worry, this thread will slowly drag them outta the woodwork.

LOOK! snicker..

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. No, I think they're smarter than that.

This particular case reeks more of astroturfing than random angry trolls.

[sniffa]

25. a handy List then

:hi:

:hug:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Some old ugly faces and a LOT of NEW ugly faces.

I say "astroturfing." Microsoft, for one, did that more than once. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing

You'll see it's a geek way of deceiving the public. A tragedy, actually.
