Apple Threats: “Work hard on the job today or work hard to find a job tomorrow.”
Apple’s iPad and the Human Costs for Workers in China - NYTimes.com

Banners on the walls warned the 120,000 employees: “Work hard on the job today or work hard to find a job tomorrow.”

Sound familiar? The is the wedge that is used to destroy the middle class here. Over there it makes them accept 12-14 hours, 6-7 days a week, sometimes standing the whole time.

The unions here were weakened... Over there they can't have unions.

Well, apparently the rich bitch works for an organization, or perhaps even owns it herself, that depends upon big donations by big business and her 1%-cohorts.

If there weren't productivity, there wouldn't be profits, and if there weren't profits, there wouldn't be any big donations to her organization.

And if there weren't any big donations to her organization, the rich bitch would have to move to humbler digs.

Do you think the nearly brain-kaput kpete, the DUmp's leading copy-and-paste numbskull, is perceptive enough to understand that?

Actually you Cupid Stunt, China has one big union ran by the government called the ACFTU.  I bet you would love a union ran by our government wouldn't you?

But what if the Government is the main benefactor in profits because they own a large portion and in most cases the majority in every company?  But wait...  wouldn't you love this communist/socialist idea?  Then everyone gets paid the same right and it's being monitored by the all mighty Government.  Nope nothing could go wrong here...

I love when you post articles that you think prove your point of view when instead they undermine almost everything you stand for.

Do you even think about the stances you take and what they could lead to?

Better question... DU you even think?

It's not the communist government, it is the EVIL Apple CORPORATION. 
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

But Apple is an ultra liberal corporation that the liberals love.  Which doesn't make sense, yet they do.
