I was die hard anti union and a staunch conservative all my life but have softened my views over the last 4-6 years.
I deal with employee benefits for large corporations and have done so for close to 30 years.
Never have I seen such a disregard for employees over the last 10 years...and it is geting worse. I remember a business owner laying off some employees permantly back in the early 80's. He was literally crying tears and was extremely distraut over having to do so-the emplyees were like family.
Today the employers attitude is non cahalant. many employers just don't care today. Years ago the business owner lived down the street from the employee, went to the same stores, church etc. Today, the busioness owner is brought in with the corpoprate jet or helicopter and does not even know his employees so there is no connection when he lays off 5-10k employees and doesn't care.
I think as more jobs get outsourced and offshored, more protectionist laws and unions will make a comeback in all types of business.
Millions of jobs have been outsourced to China and now I see where china is bidding on jobs in the uS and other countries and bringing in their own workforce for 1/2 of the cost)- where does this insanity end? The US is committing economic suicide.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
