Westpacific; My grandfather came to America cause he was working in a Union Shop and hated the laziness Working in a union shop where? You seem to suggest that Americans don't or can't work and so I suppose you think the only ones willing to do an honest days work is illegal Mexicans who get no health care, no unemployment - well no benefits. Some world you propose for American workers. I continue to say - BULL! You look for the pathetic exception rather than look at all those who are doing hard menial jobs day after day. Those changing bed pans in old folks homes, or those pouring concrete in 90 degree weather, or those fixing downed power lines in freezing weather after a storm. The list is endless, but these people deserve a working wage and deserve a few benefits such as health care. Instead the working man was rewarded with a banking system so corrupt in their addiction to fast money that they ruined the working man's retirement account and brought our economy to its knees. They did this while paying less in taxes on their million dollar paychecks than the teacher or nurse. Give me a break! steve

He was always told he was working too hard and too fast, to stop that. Slow down and do less; milk the system THIS IS UNION!!!! So, Westie, why is Germany, with its powerful unions, still the wolds biggest exporter and why does the EU still out export the United States????? en.wikipedia.org If workers don't earn a decent wage, how can they purchase cars, houses, groceries, what have you and keep the economy humming?
