Collective Bargaining

So I get that unions want collective bargaining and President Obama. However, I do not think that unions should hold all of the powers.  Unions should not be trying to run businesses.  First, it is not their business, it is the owners.  Secondly, the owners need to have a say in how much someone should be paid.  Thirdly, unions need to realize where they stand in the situation.  Unions think they are entitled to complete control over the wages of workers and the benefits they receive. However, they do not need complete control because it can hurt the business.  What if the corporations need to make a slight cut in pay in order to keep the business? What if they need to lay off workers or hike the prices because they are not allowed to subtract some of the workers pay? Employers need to have options on what they can do to keep their business alive.

Sometimes they need to cut pay and keep prices low.  So that people will stay employed and people keep buying.  That is a great solution. However, unions won't have that kind of talk because they are too busy with their own self-interests instead of looking at the bigger picture.  No wonder why there are no jobs here in America.  Unions do not want to negotiate a slight wage cut instead they rather have people laid off and have higher prices.

Probably the real problem in America is some of the unions. They are the ones that would rather see people laid off than a slight decrease in pay.  I understand that a few cents could hurt someone. However, would you rather see yourself laid off or a few cents cut off? 

Finally Someone that Speaks the Truth

http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial-page/article513761.ece


I am so happy to be able to finally read an article that speaks the truth. The President and the Congress are both to blame for the reason why there is still a high unemployment percent. They made a big deal about the debt ceiling while Wall Street is suffering. This article talks about how employers and Wall Street are not able to expand because they have no confidence in the government resolving the issues. Obama has not reassured us that everything is going to be fine. If the government has no hope than the people are not going to have a hope. As a result, of no hope, no one is going to spend. Also no one is going to hire new people.

I have been trying to find a job since I graduated from high school and I have only had two temporary jobs. That is better than some, but I need a stable income and I cannot get that if no one is hiring.

The President and Congress are the ones to blame for their being no jobs not Wall Street. Whether we like to admit it or not those people on Wall Street work hard for their money as we all should do. This country was built on hard work, earning your way to make a living. However, during the times we have become more dependent on the government to resolve the issues and take over our responsibilities.

We should try to work for our money and I want to work for money. Right now I am living off of my mom and I hate it so much. I want to go to school and work at the same time, but the only thing I am doing is going to school. No one will hire me and I am stuck. If the government gets their out of their butts than we can solve these issues, and get rid of the party lines and work together.


The government should ease the restrictions on business and get those unions to stop taking advantage of city governments and corporate. So they can do their jobs to get more workers, I am not asking to get rid of unions, but they need to reel them in.


The President and the Congress need to realize that they are going to have to compromise. IF you want to increase taxes on the corporations and rich than you are going to have to lesson the regulations on them a bit.

Please lets get over the party lines and compromise because you are hurting Americans on both sides, we are tired of suffering!!!
