GOP once again shows it true colors

"Mike Burton of Southern Momentum, an anti-UAW group of plant workers, said Corker's statement makes sense.

"We are in a battle with Mexico on where this new product goes," said Burton, "and it stands to reason that the union will add costs. We need to keep costs down to fight for that new product."

In other words let's keep wages and benefits down so VW's stock holders and executives benefit to a greater degree by exploiting the workers.

"Another labor expert, Harley Shaiken of the University of California-Berkeley, said, "The senator's comments amount to economic intimidation that undermines the whole nature of union representation elections."

So, UAW labor prices itself out of the market and it's the GOP's fault.

You progressives make me.

I guess all liberals support pedophelia because Harry Hay and Allen Ginsberg did.

Yeah, and bmw in greer are taking advantage of it's workers? How about boing in charleston? Niether have unions, time to get rid of them.

Southern Momentum'"A new organization fighting the union effort has appeared on the scene and it's accusing the company of tilting the vote in favor of the union. Who wants to bet Southern Momentum has the fingerprints on it of the Koch Brothers or their fellow travelers?

The fact that you failed to read the link is less than amazing; it's your pattern to post out of ignorance and always to frame them with your prejudices. To deny the Republican Party has declared war on unions is dishonest, though coming from you that does not surprise me.

"But they're all in the factory now making $15 an hour — about half of what the typical German autoworker makes."

"But the price of having a more globally competitive work force means more in America could fall well short of the middle-class living standards that manufacturing workers once could expect. Wages adjusted for inflation have declined for these workers since 2003."

Seems to be a great practice if we want our nation to continue on the road to a caste society ["CASTE SOCIETY: Caste is a form of social stratification characterized by endogamy, hereditary transmission of a style of life which often includes an occupation, ritual status in a hierarchy, and customary social interaction and exclusion based on cultural notions of purity and pollution]

Didn't need to. Your intent to shift the blame for UAW labor pricing itself out of jobs is as clear as day.

But you're a progressive, so intellectual dishonesty and refusal to take the blame for the repercussions of your own actions is your stock in trade.

First, it wasn't a statement put out by the GOP. A Republican isn't the GOP. Secondly, many (most?) unions are money laundering operations for the Democrat party. They take member's dues and back Democrats regardless of what the member wants. It's insane to allow the public sector to unionize and should be outlawed except for emergency, fire and police, where their lives are at stake.

We'll see what happens with Volkswagon as the union thugs have stirred up the workers, who were being paid quite well. If the UAW gets its' way foreign auto makers will go offshore and ship the cars in and the liberals will blame the greedy CEOs.

$15 is starting pay, plus they have great benefits. I have a friend that worms there and he makes good money.

You have two choices. One, you have hundreds of people employed at a wage dictated acceptable by the market, or two, you have hundreds of people unemployed.

Grow up and take your pick.

No, it's more like the corporate business owners, who have generally been very profitable these past few years, are working to undercut American wages again.

When are conservatives going to figure out that since taxes are mostly paid by the middle class, it will take a GROWTH in middle class workers wages in aggregate to bring down the deficits?

Unless you are a Dick Cheney conservative for whom deficits don't matter, this should concern you.

So you think workers in nonunion shops in the US are comparable to workers in Mexico?

Really?

Why?

We don't have prices dictated by the markets. The corporations get Congress to suppress competition with new regs and import restrictions all the time.

For example, unlike Microsoft who can go to China and India to get low wage software engineers, you cant go to India and buy say a complete set of teak furniture and take advantage of the difference in living standards the way Microsoft does.

Why do conservatives only take the corporate side of things and don't look at their OWN INTERESTS?

Too much Rush Limbaugh, who is a corporate shill?

Business owners want to put their products in as many hands as possible. You don't do that by paying for overpriced labor.

Who got made out like bandits in the GM bankruptcy fiasco and the forced merger of Fiat and Chrysler, while the American taxpayer was left holding the bag? The UAW, that's who.

There are reasons that Subaru, Toyota, BMW, et.al. assemble their cars in Ohio, Indiana and other right-to-work states.

For the locale that isn't great pay, but decent enough.

Adjusted for inflation and taxes American workers have watched their incomes dwindle since 1972.

Now tell me its cause they're all lazy, lol.

And with all the unemployed people we have, lets give tax cuts to businesses based on how many American workers they are employing and the problem will fix itself.

The cost of labor is a small fraction of the price you pay at the point of sales. Last point markup is the biggest slice and that would adjust with competition to maintain profits and competitiveness.

The only real difference is that the workers would have enough money to may buy their own products too and grow the consumer markets.

Henry Ford figured that our a long time ago; why have conservatives in this country completely forgotten it?
