USPS Bankrupt Bailout or cuts or both

[Bigblue1]

Pretty much sums up my primary criticism of unions. You're basically betting that the union leaders will be more reasonable than the employers would. Stuck in a bit of a catch 22 when both sides act like infants fighting over toys, though.



If you mean small business bosses, I'd agree with that section. If you're just talking about bosses in general though, you ought to be doing stand up. The little mom and pop business owners wind up getting screwed over by unions simply because the larger corporations can offer terms that don't hurt them, but would bleed a small business dry. The bosses of those large corporations do have a great deal of representation, in their back pocket where you'll find the better part of Congress. Start making large "gifts" to your representations like the large corporations do, and I guarantee you suddenly laws will start being passed exactly the way you want. If you can afford to be spending thousands a year in "gifts," tough, that's how the US gov't works. Unions can mobilize large sections of voters, corporate CEO's can buy their influence. Basically, I'm saying if you're not with one of those powerful groups or the other, don't be surprised when the world pisses in your cheerios all the time.

No I mean we American Citizens who are not being represented by our Representatives that we put into office and pay.
