can you afford the increase in you tax rate when the goverment needs the money for more unemployment payments or would you be able to afford it when that unemployed worker takes you job because he is willing to work for less than you
Not true at all if you buy US made goods & measure the cost based on use. USA made goods are often higher quality, last longer so you replace less often.
Unions have given us a forty hour work week, paid vacations, and health care, just to mention a few things. Every benefit we have as workers was fought for by unions. Nothing would please business more than to see the elimination of unions.Every year it seems that unions lose out to states that pass “right to work laws”. Take a look at the huge gap in wages between workers and management in this country.It’s at an all time high. I’ve grown tired of hearing the blame placed on workers for the economic woes in this nation.
Hey, exoticdoc, you’re still in the 70’s w/that line. The whole dynamic has changed since the 80’s. Unions don’t drive prices anymore; corporations and banks do. Try and keep up here.
Unions may have made things better, but now most of them are corrupt, donate to candidates to make sure they will be given preference and take dues from non-members. If I had worked for a company that had both union and non-union workers and they took money from me for dues I would be suing them or have them arrested for theft. I would be working for the company, not the union. And after the flagrant violence unions recently committed in Michigan, I am all for right-to-work laws.
"Moderately Confused is an extension of my daily thinking routine, says Jeff Stahler. "I'm used to observing the front pages of the news and commenting with a cartoon. But every day, the rest of the paper tracks the culture, and all of those stories are rich for commentary, too. This panel gives me an outlet for observing those back pages of the paper that I enjoy reading as well." Stahler's Moderately Confused was a finalist for the National Cartoonists Society's Division Award for Best Newspaper Panel in 2005.
A native of Bellefontaine, Ohio, award-winning editorial cartoonist Jeff Stahler graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design. He resides in Columbus, Ohio, with his family.

If unions weren’t driving businesses (not to mention governments) into ruin it might be possible to be a bit more competitive.

I don’t what country you live in but Unions have pretty much been destroyed in my country… I live in the U.S.A.

This comic is factually correct. L.L. Bean has some of their clothes made in the US. The US made stuff is priced at least twice as high.
