Was there any justice in this?

Who will protect the rights of the little guy and the infirm?


Shouldn't Christians be aligned with people who fight to protect the rights of those who need the most protection?

If this husband had been a member of a Union, this just would not have happened.

JD - hey did you miss me? I'm back but still pretty busy with life, in general.
Did you actually read the article?
The guy would not have been a member of a union, as he was part of the "evil" management team.
Also, just from reading the article I think there were some parts of the story that are missing.
It appeared to me that he tried to go in and say "here is my new schedule", rather than having a discussion about some options.

The left media is just cranking out sob stories. 20 employee company. The account wants to work nights and weekends. When they have a meeting, hi is of course missing.

A business needs their accountant during business hours. The company needs to find one that can work during the day.

With her 60,000 in student loans, they should still have saved money. In the bigger picture, who is working for whom. I know a lot of people when disaster hits, they have no savings. Most accountants I know in small companies, work some weekends and work late several times a month and do take work home. The libs that write and read the lib media are out of touch.

JD
You don't know much about business. I do not know any accountants that are union shops. Gubment is the likely exception.

JD also as a leftist Dem doesn't understand we are sending jobs overseas because of greedy unions. I give an example. My largest client in 2001/2002 was Dell. They moved thousands of jobs to China. Blame the unions.

A union worker a ceo and tea party member are at the table. On the table are 100 cookies. The CEO takes 99 and looks at the Tea Party Member and says "that union guy is after your cookie. The facts are that organized labor is responsible for the 40 hour week, putting an end to child labor, over time pay and the birth of the middle class. Do you like the weekend? Thank the labor movement. Corporations move the factories over seas because they don't want to pay the overhead of responsibility. They are not loyal to America or any other country and they will use the cheapest labor and resources they can get.

In any other industrialized country this man wouldn't have lost his job and there wouldn't be devastating medical bills because for profit health care is illegal. In the US the number one cause of bankruptcy is health care cost but in countries with a national health care system people don't lose their homes when they get sick.

When will pride filled ignorant Americans wake up and realize that we are being robbed by by big business and the law maker that they own?

We have plenty of free health care in this country ,the only thing we need to complete the situation is to make it illegal with federal law, to put it on ones credit report,problem solved !!

My union (which im still a member of for pension puposes when i retire)though i dont work that trade because i have my own small business, has 9 VP's that make a minimum of 120,000 ea.40 hour weeks maybe 50 at times(and that was 20 years ago to my knowledge,who knows what today)while no one in the trade, even with lots of OT will make more than 80,000(and that would be 80 hour weeks for a year,wont happen) plus bennies.

Unions are greedy.


God loves us all. God says we will have our prayers answered if we pray for wisdom. The woman has lung cancer. She should have prayed for wisdom before smoking?
Unions brought a lot of problems. In

Wisconsin state officials have stated that damage to the marble inside and out the State Capitol due the the exploits of union protesters would cost an estimated $7.5 million to repair. How do we see benefit from unions?

As I said before "The facts are that organized labor is responsible for the 40 hour week, putting an end to child labor, over time pay and the birth of the middle class. Do you like the weekend? Thank the labor movement." If the leaders of big business where so fair and benevolent there never would have been a need for Labor Unions. But unions are/were a response to poor wages, unsafe working conditions and the insatiable greed of company owners. Some companies would pay their workers in script that was only good at the company store. That made you a slave to the company. I suppose that if the companies could get Americans to work for 60 cents an hour or a dollar a day like they do in much of the rest of the world they would stay here and exploit the worker here. Is that what you want?

I wouldn't argue that Unions had good intentions to begin with. However, the Unions of today are very different. They care only for power and the advancement of their agenda. People are the pawns they use to get what they want.

Today's Union would put any business owner out of business, along with the jobs provided if the owner doesn't submit to their demands.

Look at the Boeing plant situation. Boeing has created a lot of jobs at its plant in SC, but Unions, Obama and the NLRB would rather put that plant out of business and force workers to lose their jobs in order to relocate the plant in union-friendly Washington state.

Again, Unions started well, but have become a monster.

when I read the article i also noticed some things missing. Some companies get rid of you when ever a health problem arises so they do not have to pay the health care cost. That happened to an uncle of mine many years ago. he had a heart attack and was fired the next day.
my brother got fired when his wife got a heart condition after the birth of their second child.
Is this fair?????? No, but it is life.Move on. have faith in jesus. trials are suppose to make us stronger, not weaker.
As for the man asking to work different hours- a company I worked for years ago sent me to school.They let me change my hours with somebody else to work second shift by our selves. So, sometimes you can work it out.
The personal manger of a place that I worked at in the past was out to fire people with health issues so the company could keep health care cost down. My foreman heard him say it. oooopppssss.........
once more it is life...... are faith should be in jesus and not our jobs.
