Labor Day

It's the day after Labor Day and I will reflect on what this day means to
me. It should be a salute to the real worker, not the greedy overpaid and
highly unnecessary union thugs who call themselves leaders. Those are the
people who are in the game for their own aggrandizement. It's not about the
worker on the lines but rather about support for liberal causes which the
workers on the lines may not support. To these people I say go away and let
the workers on the lines do the work without interference from you. In
other words, get a real job.

A good example of union leaders with screwed up priorities is the whole
Mercury Marine mess up in Wisconsin. There is blame to go around on this
one. There is blame to be assessed to the union who didn't get the fact
that the jobs would move. There is blame to go around to the company who
gave the greedy union too many chances rather than cutting its losses and
moving to Oklahoma as they said they would do. This reveals the squishy
nature of that company's management. Then there are the local politicians
in Wisconsin, a state where regulation is king. These idiots got involved
late in the game and caused problems as well. Then there are the people of
Stillwater Oklahoma who stand to lose the jobs that were destined to go
there. Congratulations everyone involved in this sorry mess. All you did
was make more money for the trial lawyers because this whole sorry mess will
wind up in court where it should because no one seems to know how to do
anything right.

The above situation shows how the workers on the lines are caught in the
middle of disputes like this and further shows how it's not about the
workers but rather about the leaders and how they can make the company look
bad. It's about workers who are being told to vote themselves out of a job,
something which they did in the first vote. It's about leaders who onlhy
care about themselves and don't care about the workers whom their ations
will hurt.

My salute to workers is about those who work to serve the food in
restaurants, those who protect us and keep us safe and those who assist us
when we need help. Thank you for all you do. You may not have gotten a
break in order to spend time with your families but you are appreciated.
