Not necessary Norm.
No need to be sorry, in many respects your right about productivity
and profits being important. I just tried to highlight the pain involved by putting in on a personal level. I'm sorry too, I really
would not wish harm on others.
Some 20, 30 years ago, pension plans, lifetime employment, were being
touted by corporations. Many lived a life style reflecting this
security, perhaps saving less than prudent. One had to be there
to understand this mentality, this sense of security. Management
pushed it, employees bought into it.
Some want to ignore that covenant. Productivity is fine, its necessary; but if its corporate america's intention to turn America
into a 'sweatshop' in the interest of profits, in the interest of being able to compete on a global scale, I say go to plan 'B'.
In that regard, if management in conjunction with government,
dosen't deliver a better solution then 'chop and sweat' -
Well as Ross says, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY PEOPLE.
You have not hit a raw nerve. I just don't think helping workers
gain more control over their work situation and salarys is something
that will be achieved by speaking with a 'hat in hand' tone.
Evidently this shows up more amongst this investment talk.
In speaking up I am trying to do right by America. We should all
speak our minds, state our opinions. You did.
My son in law is a ceo. Do we get along????
Answer - of course.
Best regards Bob
