I pity the poor pathetic managers that arent smart enough to lead by consistancy and integrity, their inability to follow policy and proceedure created by the unions really make them - the manager - look like an imbecile jackass.

The Polish unions got their strength from the firm belief in God and knowing that Pope John Paul, President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had their backs.
If you were not such a sorry piece of crap, you would know that or else have the brains to look it up on the internet.
Noooooo. They got huge injections of cash from CDN and American union brothers.
Wake up and smell reality.
IF you were a Union Member you would have contriubuted to the demise of the Soviet Union but nope you had to stab them in the back.
Aside from "moral" support, what exactly did ronny raygun and the iron maiden do for the Polish Unions?
1989, when the Soviet Union and all its satellites fell was a significant station in my life.
Whether I supported that fall financially or not is not the issue here. Obviously, financially I was not able to to do so.
How have Western unions contributed to the fall of the most restrictive and freedom-denying regime?
Just curious.
Of course it was for you and if you want to learn more about how Canadian Unions played a strong role I'll give you the sources to read or even names of people to communicate with if you'd really really like.
The Solidarity Information office in Canada, a non-profit organization, opened in Toronto in 1981, and served as a satellite office of the Solidarity Coordinating Office Abroad in Brussels. Zygmunt Przetakiewicz was the first director of the office from 1981 until 1983. In 1983 Wojcich Gilewski took over and remained director until 1990 when it discontinued operation. The office closely cooperated with Canadian trade unions and Polish Canadian organizations. Their primary duties were to disseminate information about NSZZ “Solidarnosc” throughout Canada and the Polish community. Although operated independently of other social and political organizations, one being the Canadian Labour Union, it was the goal to work amicably with other Polish Canadian groups, such as the Canadian Polish Congress.

So next time you cut down a Union you are cutting down the people that set your nation free from the bonds of Bolshevism
If he wants some people to thank he should write some nice letters of thanks to the Canadian Labour Congress for what they did in helping end Bolshevism.
Lenin was right. The Bolsheviks biggest enemy was true Socialism.
Yet they both apreciated the need to replace arbitrary decisions and descriminating practises with policy and procedure. Just like unions.
And if I recall correctly, Reagan was the first union president to be elected President of the US.
In the reagan years we had students speak at our highschool about nuclear disarmament. I think they were from SAGE cuz we jokes about starting a new group called Students Against Unreasonable Students Against Global Erradi ation..........yep, S.A.U.S.A.G.E.
You must live in a dream world. Rarely have I encountered a situation where individual workers in a chain store have any bargaining power regardless of their work ethic. In fact I know of cases in which good workers in stores like Staples were refused full time work in spite of having superior work records simply to make sure that they were denied benefits. The history of the trade union movement shows that individual workers have few if any leverage when it comes to bargaining with an employer. Thousands of them banding together do.
Read my reply to Taxslave.
The trade unions have no bargaining power without the protective legislation provided by the fed/prov gvts. Take away that protective shroud and the unions are toothless.
I suspect that a union presence will be a reality for Walmart, however, I also suspect that Walmart will take a page from Safeway's play book and turn union membership into a negative situation for the employee.
Groups like Safeway and Walmart often own the land where their stores are located and minimize their cost structure as much as possible. When strikes are threatened, Walmart/Safeway will bleed less red ink than the union members and will be able to wait them out.
