sorry but it is well documented that unions only protect the lazy worker and do not encourage people to go above and beyond, because they are locked into a pay raise schedule. I, along with many others, always hear people say, "it doesn't matter, the union will protect me."
What a bunch of crap, the unions were a good thing, but like most things too much of a good thing is no longer good. e.g. overeating food, too much alcohol, etc.

obviously though if Clinton had vetoed NAFTA, even with a majority of congress being Republican there would not have been a 75% majority to pass it regardless of the veto, therefore Clinton could have all but ended this.
The real problem is this...When the economy is going great no one cares about sending low paying jobs out of the country that no one wants to do, but when unemployment starts to rise then people realize, hey wait, i would do that work, but by then it is too late. The execs realized they can improve their profit margins and look better to the stock holders by paying less for labor. Ironically many of the "displaced" workers are stock holders, so they watch their stocks make more money as they sit home without a job. "May the best car win!"

wiscchick: You may be right that Clinton didn't start the process, but by signing it into law, put his stamp on it. Obviously NAFTA was a bi-partisan effort. But if Democrats wanted it stopped they had their chance and Clinton did not Veto it, therefore i find it ironic that so many union people vote democratic, but have bumper stickers that say "they got NAFTA, we got the shafta"

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but...it is hard for housing market to rebound without job creation. I believe Flint, MI and Detroit are still waiting for their housing market to rebound.
Just so everyone doesn't get me wrong, i would love for this to be the case. We could use the good news, and many people i know are tied to jobs that would be helped by the housing market.
On Would you support a shared-ride taxi service in the Milton and Janesville areas?

Hooters: If they meant support as in use, i think they would have said "Would you use a shared-ride taxi service in the Milton and Janesville areas?"
You are correct that support could be used to mean that, but i highly doubt it, in this case.

how can anyone say no? Most taxi services aid in taking people home from bars when they have had too much to drink. I for one, think we need to do more to make sure that NO ONE ever drives drunk or a little tipsy. If you had a loved one die because of a drunk driver you would whole-heartidly support this.

Anyone with any sort of knowledge would see that labor costs were the largest reason along with retiree benefits that caused GM to cut its losses and file bankruptcy protection. All those were because the union got those benefits during contracts.
therefore...the union ran GM out of town. Made it so they had to be closer to other locations and consolidate plants. It was bound to happen the fact that people stopped by $50,000 SUVs only sped up the process.
I have never seen a union help anyone that was motivated, worked harder and was very intelligent. They seem to protect the unmotivated, unambitious, and therefore the dumb workers.
And to think all those GM workers paid for the union to screw them in the end. haha
