There is something happening here...


 
Occupy...

Walmart workers take a stand

McDonnals workers do the same

Nissan workers want to unionize.
http://www.aflcio.org/Blog/(p)/54911

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.....

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.

Sure.  Sure it is.

Wal-Mart?  Huge fail.


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


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