Re: Unions about to take another hit
i am going to use generalities here....
because way too many people dont seek out skills that pay better
they take the easy road in school....
they take the easiest courses in high school, and or college
they refuse to work and go to school at the same time
and then they wonder why they are having trouble finding anything better than a $ 12.00 job
it doesnt really how smart....but it does matter how driven one is
what do they want....and what are they willing to do to get it....those are the ones that almost always succeed
i hire them every time i run across one....may be in home depot, or in a denny's....
but you can spot them a mile away....they take pride in what they do....they rush to help one customer after another
for you other managers/owners.....those are the superstars.....find them...hire them....teach them....hold onto them
Except the individual really has no bargaining power unless the employer demand for his skill set is greater than the supply of other applicants.
When was the last time this has existed for the bulk of workers? Typically in a major World War, and even then only because so many men were in military service. Sometimes if your nation is the sole economic winner (like the U.S.A. in the 20 years immediately after WWII).
How much time (and debt) do you have to invest in an education (vocational or professional) to make yourself truly competitive in the job market? Someone an employer NEEDS rather than someone they have some minor use for as most workers deal with lately?
Unions have a lot of problems, typically because of the cronyism in the leadership ranks. But without them, most workers end up dealing with situations like Wal-Mart.
