Another reason why Unions should be banned, or at least have their powers cut down significantly.

That's Toronto: see what happens when your city doesnt have a effective Mob presence to guide the unions and keep such media coverage to a minimum?

Why not thirty-nine times? Or forty-one?

39 wouldnt communicate his displesure effectivly, 41 would be spiteful.

Why specifically cement? Why not asphalt or concrete?

Cement has just the right PSI to inlict the kind of damage he wants.
....and asphalt's smelly.

Still. IIRC, and someone can correct me on this.
Aren't cement trucks the ones with that big rotary thing on the back?
If we're running over union leaders....and I assume that we do mean plural, as in leaders, not leader...wouldn't it be more efficient to find something with a lower centre of gravity? If only to avoid tipping or flipping?

Every post on this topic for years now, summarized: A group of workers have interests different than my own. Therefore they are evil!

It's not the Group of workers that concerns me, it is the leaders who "act" in their so-called interest.

Observe.

You'll also observe that the majority of posts revolve around union militancy, leadership, and how they have too much power. That is the key here. Too bad no one in Ontario is willing to at least stand up against them.

Oh, 39 times is not dead enough. 41 is basically too puree.

Do you also want them to scream in agony after 39 runs? Or maybe pluck out their left eyeballs while you're at it? B)

Unions.

There will never ever be a union here as long as I own it.

Bloody useless they are. Don't need them. Don't like your working conditions?

Get! A! New! Job!

It's that simple.

Don't waste your time getting a bunch of morons to dictate terms to the company, all you'll do is drive your job to China.

You're not the least bit bitter about this Asian Thing, are you?

Had a change of heart after the workers at Arco Bag drove themselves out of a job. Rather funny really.

What happened is this: They asked for incresed health benifits, all they wanted was the company to pick up more of the cost.

Union went in and demanded that the company cover 100% of the health-care costs. Arco Inc responded to these demands by shutting down it's american plant and shifting all it's work over to China.

Now the workers are suing the union for mis-representing them and the town is taking Arco to court for abandoning thier plant.

...this from the Union that my workers wanted to represent them.

Yeah, not in a million years.

And why should I not be bitter about the "asian thing?" In 10 years we'll be totaly dependent on imports from China and they'll be able to dictate terms to us.

Watch it happen.

It is. Why, jobs are so easy to get now that they come free with cereal packets.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
