Not that hard, Elvis.

Who decides what's fair?

There has to be a happy medium decided by owners and workers.

Not one over the other.
The UAW is slowly fucking themselves out of work by not being flexible and adapting to pressures from Corporate to be competitive with the world market.
GM has fucked itself with the mass exodus of jobs to Mehico, and dumb ideas for vehicles. The kind that don't hold up, unattractive, whatever...

On the other hand, if left solely up to the rich, greedy CEO's, you're fucked as an employee.

You pay shit, you'll probably get shit in return.

The Toyota Production System is a good model to follow. No, it's not working at a Toyota plant, it's a method of production used by the majority of the Japanese and being picked up by other MFG across the globe. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. If it is, stop immediately and correct it. DON'T SELL SHIT. It's worked for them so far.

Retail like WhoreMart, that's a different game.

But if you pay shit, you'll get shit. Which explains the apathetic attitudes of the store's employees.

Except for maybe the new greeter.

I don't like the fact that people are forced to join a union to work in some places. In texas we don't have unions so I can work where I want when I want and not be hassled

That's not completely true. My niece who lives in Ft Worth is a union flight attendant. And when I had the unfortunate luck to work at a Wally's in Texas there were people there trying to bring in the union.

Walmart hires direct and pays benefits to full time employees after a certain time. It's not that they work you till you drop. They just don't hire enough people to do the job at hand and constantly bitch when it doesn't get done. Upper management gets bonuses for keeping labor down so they hire a bare minimum to do the job.

...and then there is this story - but don't tell ZahZoo because, you know, according to him corporations are people, too

Walmart............

Finally, after all these years a subject you can post on with some expertise.



Other than carnal knowledge of your own socks, that is.

If there aren't any unions in Texas, then what the fuck are all these?

Texas is a right-to-work state. Workers don't have to join unions and have their pay, in the form of union dues, donated to politicians for pay-offs.

Better than having Wal-Mart donate part of their pay to politicians for payoffs...
