Last unemployment stats on Vets returning home from Afganistan and Iraq are over 25% and nobody in the Federal/Stat Gov seems to give them the help they need. Meanwhile there is a large group of currently employed workers in this country who feel that they are not only entitled to permanent employment but signing bonuses and 15-21% increases in total compensation, including benefits.........
That group would be the CWA Union walking away from the table in talks with AT&T to settle up on a new labor contract. AT&T just laid off 12,000 non union employees (w families) and not a single CWA worker was affected.
I certainly am not defending the phone company here by any means, but I really believe that Mr. Obama needs to speak up and tell these individuals that if they don't want a job working for a Large company that is going to be around through this recession, then he would be happy to give those positions and the increased wages/bonus to the guys that are laying their lives down for us overseas.
God Bless them!!!!
