Video:Carrier employees reaction to their layoff, jobs moving to Mexico.
The linked video shows the reaction of the Carrier workers to the news that their jobs are going to Mexico.
Additionally Cenk Uygur offers some insights: The company, United Tech did not have to do that - It made big profits. It got a lot of incentives from government. The government has leverage which it has not used. United has billions of Federal contracts. My personal view: I am appalled by the lack of grass roots reaction from people and the Dems in particular. Well, well, the sucking sound continues. :mad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3-s72NToTw |
What?? Indiana went "Right to Work""(for less). Just goes to show what happens when you weaken Unions.
BTW.... I lost a great job at GTE in 82 to Mexico. This has been going on for a long time. Barney |

It has no street credibility. Not even a demonstration...some civil disobedience...waving of flag and occupation of an office or two. |

However the Democratic leadership is aloof to the serious issues affecting its union class especially the class associated with manufacturing. With NAFTA and now TPP, the leadership is saying why get involve with job retaining issues. |

Peaceful demonstration, peaceful sit in. An elected representative gets arrested. :D |
That's our job, not the politicians'.

Did not even remember that he used it. Just a fitting description. BTW the Dems, by appearing to be less than vigorous, are surrendering such worker issues to a demagogue like Trump. |

Dindillion's post, the one I took exception to, would have politicians and party officials directly agitating and urging riotous behavior and the illegal occupation of public property. That would be equivalent to, for instance, the RNC urging the Bundys to occupy Malheur. |
Quote:
Illegal sit in, yes! But PEACEFUL. |
Quote:
The Malheur occupation was "peaceful". |
Nothing riotous about this. Here elected officials break the law PEACEFULLY.

The Indy Dems have a hard time getting the message out. Fought the long hard fight against ""Right To Work"" and lost. Fought hard against School vouchers again lost. Been losing local and state elections so are in a state of flux right now. The people want to believe the Repubs fairy tales of mythical job creators. Problem now is in what country they are created in. Barney |

A way to get help is by taking peacefully to the streets with civil disobedience to draw attention and embarrass the powers that be into some action. I note where Carrier has huge federal contracts. |
The vast majority of the workforce have been brainwashed. Thinking good paying union jobs are the reason they are being underpaid. Told, look at those lazy overpaid union guys who can't get fired need to taken down. Not that you need to brought up to the union scale.
This is a slow process taking many years to come to this point. Every time we pay a bill online go thru the self checkout lane order online more people lose jobs that will never come back. Barney |
