Al,

No, this is good - just ask Bloomberg. It will reduce or eliminate those awful junk food twinkies and ding dongs! Michelle Obama will replace these with wholesome substitutes like hummus and tofu. I can hardly wait!

27% wage cuts over 5 years is pretty tough. I'm pro union but I think I'd rather take those small cuts instead of stanch in the unemployment line. I don't blame the 'union' because more than likely the members voted on it.

I do blame the union because the union leadership are probably those encouraging the workers to "take a stand", knowing it won't hurt the union's bottom line the way it hurts the workers and they can use this incident for more propaganda to rally donations and support behind the union. AFL-CIO and other unions have frequently encouraged strikes that actually hurt the workers knowing the strikes would end up hurting the individual workers' bottom line.

Agreed. This then puts more people on UI ,which once again shows the masses how ANTI-UNION, 1% owners destroy the economy and the country. Leftist bs all the way, comrade.
