Employees are resources? I thought they were just liabilities and leeches. Years of experience working somewhere doesn't make you a resource, it just makes you old and overpaid.

And therein lies the problem of today's business. Treating employees as liabilities instead of assets.
So who do you think is fucking us over, the guy getting $30 an hour or the CEO pulling in $300 million a year?

Your logic would work only if companies that had union contracts were the ONLY ones having problems.
Also, you might want to look at the European model and note that they don't have the same issues.
There is no flaw with my logic. Unions drove up the wages of guys making car parts and putting them on cars to $30/hr. Then guys next door to him at home say wth? you make that kind of money for doing a simple task? so should I! Then he goes into work the next day and quits his job designing circuit boards for a simpler one of assembling brakecalipers making more money doing it. How does this concept not screw up ALL companies? Your logic is flawed in thinking that a Union working to jack up the labor rates on one job doesn't indirectly do the same to the rates of other same-skill range or even possibly a little higher or lower skill range jobs.

You should get a Nobel Prize for Economy You forgot to mention that the circuit board manufacturer closed shop because he found some nimble and cheap Malaysian hands to crank out way more than Joe Six Pack could. You also forgot to mention that we don't have a technical education infrastructure to crank out educated and competent technicians (not even engineers). Let's face it, this nation sold it's last remaining manufacturing leverage, never retooled or and never cared about a strong workforce. It was greed not unions that fucked this country. Get your facts together hadix

Greed MADE unions a problem. They were formed for a good reason, but greed made them what they are today.
