Nissan workers want to unionize.

We have local hospital workers in San Diego asking for better wages...

Something is happening here, I think the reaction is starting to take shape. Time will tell, but tipping point is being reached, methinks.

Oh and yes, labor is starting to flex muscles and finding, after thirty years, that while atrophied, they are starting to work.

About bloody time...

Ah yes, the best time to walk away from your job is when there's 500 people in line with applications ready to step into your place.

But they're the smartest people on the planet, you know.

WalMart workers DID take a stand.
It was beside their employer, and NOT with the yewnyun slugs.

Yewnyun bosses must be getting hard up for cash to pay for their mansions. (With yewnyun dues.)

I wonder why the only link it provides is to the AFLCIO, which proves nothing.

If this is a thing, why not be the intrepid cub reporter and really illuminate this thing?

How many Walmart employees walked out?

How many McD employees are getting out front on this?

Where is the back story on the hospital workers in San Diego.

This would seem to be crunchy...no?

I believe a certain yewnyun tried to convince people that a million WalMart workers wanted "a voice".
All fifty of them walked out.  :lmao:

So not counting the homeless who took over parks to feel important, maybe 3 dozen people walked off their jobs in the mistaken idea that doing so somehow is protected and will get them raises? Yep the underpinnings are shaking.  :whatever:

In 2003, Joe McDonnal showed off some of the elaborate décor that made his supper club The Ruins unique.

Joe McDonnal was the Merlin of memories — a cook, a caterer, a restaurateur, a creative artist with an eye for design and a man who made magic wherever he went.

Parties? He threw a few. Like the time he catered a leap-year birthday bash at his Market Place Caterers, purposely flooding the long entry, then placing steppingstones in foot-high water, inviting guests — men in tuxes, women in heels — to "leap" their way in.....

10. Yup, we are living high

In the 1880s.

And I suspect soon, relatively speaking, the Sherman Anti trust Act will be dusted too.  
Has a relative named Sherman?
No it won't gNads. You're a bloddy damned idiot. :loser:

It's like in the Mikey D's thread where they want to be paid $15 an hour to flip burgers, what they don't realize is the unions will take $7 an hour in dues.  :-)

Not only that, we'll be seeing automation come to fast food sooner rather than later. I'll bet the technology already exists to make a burger to order from cooking it to putting the condiments on it.

Another tipping point detected by the crazy bald dwarf!

The last time we crossed the Rubicon was when that bluedog dem congresswoman was shot down in Arizona.

The leftist press blamed the shooting on Sarah Palin, and she called their nutty position a "blood libel".

Nutcase nadin immediately detected a tipping point, enhanced with a Rubicon-crossing, that heralded the imminent outbreak of revolution in America.

Then when an occupooper crapped on a police car, nutcase nadin detected a tipping point with the occupoopers heralding a sea change in Americian politics.

Now, the Walmart strike that didn't happen and the McDonald's walkout that didn't happen, combined with someone in San Diego wanting more pay, means another earth shattering tipping point.

She's a trained historian, you know.

I take it the fast-food walkout bombed like the WalMart one.

What I wouldn't give for a look at her Iggy list.

I think that some of the misfits are starting to catch on, but still, I sure would like to see that Iggy list.

Sure.  Sure it is.

Wal-Mart?  Huge fail.


McDonalds?  By a former ACORN bigwig.  Sure....


Nissan workers want to unionize?  No they don't.


We have local hospital workers in San Diego asking for better wages?  Who doesn't, bird brain.

they are all trying to make the appearance of a big labor revival - I think some of it is in reaction to Hostess' liquidation.

fast food is not a vital industry and unionization would destroy it

There is a touchscreen machine that takes your order for you at some of the Jack-in-the-Box restaurants here.  It's a start...

Also, Hertz has some cool technology like that too for their front counter.  No more dealing with those cranky union workers.  And my husband is testing something really cool for Hertz where you won't have to talk to ANYONE anymore when renting a car.  He is one of them people testing it out.  Not sure when it will go live though.
