This fact works against you not for you; the logic is that we should help subsidize the wages of fast food workers. Perhaps if you thought a little bit you wouldn't need to waste words.We also all already help pay for the wars we are in whether we are for them or not, so I really don't get your droning on.
You can do anything that is legal to prevent a union form being formed, and you should.
Here is just another reason why Unions are bad.
As reported in a blog at The Washington Times.
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Few workers would turn down a raise. Union members, however, can have raises turned down on their behalf.
Employees of a Pennsylvania grocery store learned this the hard way. Managers at the Giant Eagle grocery in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, wanted to reward hard work. So they boosted the wages of two dozen high-performing employees above their union rates. But United Food and Commercial Workers Local 23 was not pleased. The union argued the pay increases violated their contract, took Giant Eagle to court and forced it to rescind the raises.
Why did Local 23 oppose higher pay for its members? Because it upended their seniority system, allowing junior employees to make more those with more seniority. Local 23 wanted uniform pay scales — even if that meant cutting some of their members’ wages.
Workers today want — and expect — recognition for their contributions and abilities, but uniform-pay scales forbid that. Such contracts could work in the assembly line economy of the 1930s, where workers performed essentially interchangeable jobs. But not in today’s knowledge economy. Why would a software designer or a search-marketing consultant want one?

Wrong.There is nothing legal that you can do to prevent a labor union from being formed.
No one said they couldn't.People have a right to assemble.
This fact works against you not for you; the logic is that we should help subsidize the wages of fast food workers. Perhaps if you thought a little bit you wouldn't need to waste words.
Again, this response is a waste of bandwidth. Had you understood the comparison made initially, you wouldn't be as confused as you are now Mr. "play to play" policy management expert. At least those ideas will remain in the virtual world, I sure hope you're not running for office.Wait, after a idiotic comparison, you come up with the fact that we should help subsidize the wages of fast food workers even if we don't eat at the places in question? And then add an ad hom? Whatever, my bad for even responding to the retarded part of this thread. Carry on.
No, we should ban unions especially government employee unions. What a bad, bad mess that was. Thanks JFK....
Wrong.
You see, you are taking your statement to the extreme.
You can lobby against which results in the prevention.
So like I said; "You can do anything that is legal to prevent a union form being formed, and you should."
No one said they couldn't.
But the laws should change.
They can assemble all they want. They can even lobby their employer.
They just shouldn't be able to force their desires on an employer.
:naughtyThats what Ive been saying.
There is nothing legal that you can do to prevent a labor union from being formed.
Only as low as costs will bear. Labor is a cost.
So is executive compensation.
Personally, 15 an hour is not realistic. But neither is 5,000 an hour.
:naughty
No!
This is what you have been saying.That is a blanket statement that is wrong.
As you can do legal things which can prevent a Union from forming. As stated.
So is executive compensation.
Personally, 15 an hour is not realistic. But neither is 5,000 an hour.
Again you are not paying attention.No its not. Youre talking about govt sponsored labor unions, whereas Im talking about the simply idea of people grouping together.
Why are you not following the conversation?You cant ban people from forming a group and making demand of an employer.
No one said they couldn't.People have a right to assemble.

One of the biggest protests globally in solidarity with eachother all revolving around raising the minimum wage. I support these protests, and believe not only should the minimum wage but one of the most profitable industires should be paying their employees much much better. Im behind the $15 demand.
Well, you give it a shot, right? If someone will give you $5k and hour to run a company, great. If you can get someone to give you $15p/hr to mop the floor, also great. Just doesn't always work out.
Either way that determination should be made between the employer/employee. Not govt.
Exactly. And I think that's where all this push back from exec comp is coming from. It's not working out. There's too much weight at the top of the tower, and the base is slowly but surely starting to crumble. But are they going about correcting this properly? I don't think so, but then, who am I? I'm trying to be one of those overpaid execs, lol.
I think exec comp being 400+ times higher than their hourly employees is merely a symptom of a larger problem. A government by the rich, for the rich. And that accusation applies to both Ds and Rs.

Again you are not paying attention.
I am not talking about any gov sponsored labor union. That is a ridiculous claim.
I am speaking about any labor force that a union is attempting to unionize.
You can do anything that is legal, to prevent unionization. Such as lobbying the employees not to form a union.
Why are you not following the conversation?
Nothing I said even suggests that such activity could/should be banned.
So again.
Yep. If you're living on minwage, you need to sacrifice. No extra spending, get two jobs, and go to night school. Welcome to life. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
A report? You'll believe anything that's put in front of you that serves you agenda.
Raising the wage is not giving them a "free lunch". In fact it will take more people off these "free lunch" programs which you are adamantly against.
