thats an utter ridiculous lie, and you know it.

8 hr work days with above minimum wage was implemented without unions. (see: henry ford)

and if a company decides it wants to implement a 16 hr work week and pays its employees a couple bucks, i say let them. and let see how many people decide to work for them, and how long they stay in business with those kinds of business practices.

you really dont have any concept of reality when it comes to how markets and businesses operate, do you?

 

 

"The way i see it why should the lazy executive get millions and yet the hard working people who make the products, the workers get barely enough to live on?"

 seriously or you guys trying to be parodies of communists? is this some kind of joke. ceo's dont work? only their employees are hard working? I would like to see a company be run without a ceo, or with one of those "hard working people" be the ceo, and see how long the company stays solvent.

and those poor working, forced into slave labor, getting paid pennies a day, being abused by their bloodsucking bosses. dont make me laugh

Unions do tons of overpay and uncessary work. They sound good but when you look into they don't. Besides Unions are the reason why Hostess and USPS.

Hostess negotiated with their union in bad faith. They once told the workers to dodge a pay raise for the good of the company as a whole (to avoid bankruptcy!) the workers did so, the first time. Trouble was, Hostess took those savings and spent them on Executive Pay and the company continued to nosedive. So the *second* time Hostess came around and told the Union "pay cut or we go broke." The Union rightfully said "screw you."

On the part of the US Postal Service, aside from their collapsing revenue base (direct bulk mailing is what keeps them afloat now), the thing really crippling them is their "you must pre-fund your pensions for 75 years" thing, a law which was passed, by Republicans, specifically to cripple the USPS.

There are examples of greedy unions out there, but Hostess and USPS are both examples of right-wing malice and/or incompetence.

Hostess has had several long background of money problems due to the unions, so it isn't just this one issue you talking about. You think it is easily affordable to pay everyone crazy high and overstaff? There are limits and Hostess met them. 

USPS cripples itself because of the fact the people are sick of how crappy their workers are with customer service and people like using fed ex and UPS for mailing other things. Workers should get paid so much if their service is terrible. Point of a lot of unions is just get overpaid, hardly do your best, have to many people do one thing when one person can do it themselves.  Republicans? Is that that only party you can blame? Democrats are part of the blame since they put the country in massive debt.
