He must be agreeing with you Klean...
if there's enough for a multi-million dollar bonus every quarter there is obviously enough to pay workers $50 bucks an hour (no matter what their doing...)

The difference is, the CEO is not in a union, so it truly IS his market value. 8-)

What I'm talking about are the Financial Institutions related to The Fed and The Street and gigantic Money Management swindlers / the 401K swindlers who scrape off hundreds of Millions (I wish that was an exaggeration) then proceed to bonus themselves out of other peoples money / Lie and Inside scheme...

They are one of the primary destroyers of this Republic
They suffer no consequences and live largely untouched by common law
And they will have us blame the Unions and the poor when they've stolen everything there is to steal
and when there is finally NOTHING LEFT it will be somebody else who is at fault

So yeah...
Unions suck and frankly I despise them - they have no honor
But I'm not so easily fooled as to say:
"See there, see those over paid guys getting $35 when they should be getting $18, they're the problem..."

Sure Unions are a problem
But our Federal Reserve System and all it's multifaceted deception, Money changers and swindlers 401 thieves and the Wall Street Buddy System have FAR MORE wrong with them

Just my opinion don't take it personally
But these guy like to think of themselves as Merlin in King Authors Court
as indispensable magicians performing dark and secret deeds of honor
When it's basically just common thievery with smoke and mirrors

:coffee: whatever...

No, they are paid the same.
That is only because the unions want it that way. The National Labor Relations Act does not mandate unions exclusively represent all employees, but permits them to electively do so. Under the Act, unions can also negotiate "members-only" contracts that only cover dues-paying members. They do not have to represent other employees.

The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly on this point. As Justice William Brennan wrote in Retail Clerks v. Lion Dry Goods, the Act's coverage "is not limited to labor organizations which are entitled to recognition as exclusive bargaining agents of employees … 'Members only' contracts have long been recognized."

Well.........your punctuation was good. No major misspellings that I noticed. Effective use of quotations and caps. Maybe a little overboard on the ... but that's OK. Overall, I thought you did just fine.
