Whatsa matta Lechacal. Talking with your aggressive but dumb contact at the polyester law firm?
Mopar, he had his charms but the other stuff won out. He also liked to talk until my eyes glazed over about hopeless political and military conflicts. Sigh.
hedge funds lose money = out of business
states lose money = raises for all
don’t work for hedge fund but I’m also down in comp last 3 years, not so suzy stenographer at nyc dept of finance
the union shit is old. in the span of a year dibs has managed to convert me (no homo) from anti-union to anti anything dibs is against.
Am I the only one who thinks it would be entertaining to bring a French foreign exchange student to lechacal’s house for Thanksgiving???
DIBS, those old garment union commercials said look for the union LABEL, not libel. 😉
ENY…if you believe there’s a different side to the story and you feel so passionately about it, please feel free to present it. As the story reads, it seams to have addressed both side.
ishtar…YES. And if individual union members stood up against the union management they’d have severe repercussions.
Odd how the really successful tech and other service companies are doing so well yet remain non union.
I never said you edited the article, Dave. What I said was it would be foolish to assume that the one article – or ANY single newspaper article – could hope to reflect the entire picture.
Logic dictates that there’s more than one side to the story. Most likely the situation that is more nuanced than can be communicated in an 60-word news item.
But hey, why let rational thinking get in the way of a good anti-union rant? Please feel free to continue.
“how is it that you can always find and copy/paste these union articles but somehow miss all the headlines on all the hedgefundies under investigation and indictment?”
Believe it or not, I don’t really care about hedge fund guys out of work. I think the most egregious abuses of the unions are not taking small pay cuts so that their members don’t lose jobs. i think that’s a more worthy cause to rant against than whether any hedge fund guys lose their jobs or go to jail.
