Being a true born and raised son of the south I was taught early on that labor unions were in league with the devil. The South, more than any other area of the country, has an aversion to workers having any say in their treatment. This of course has it's roots in the old agrarian south where slave labor was employed until the middle of the 19th century. The mill towns that I grew up around were themselves a kind of slavery, notorious for their horrendous working conditions and keeping their workers beholden to the company store. I later worked for a large retail establishment so paranoid at the prospect of unionization that they wouldn't let the Girl Scouts sell cookies in their parking lot for fear that it would open the door to labor organizing.
Of course now that I'm older I realize that so much we as workers take for granted we owe to the Labor movement. A living wage, paid vacations, sick days, weekends, overtime pay, safe work environments, child labor laws, employer paid health insurance and pensions (now 401ks), and the list goes on. These aren't gifts from a benevolent market, these concessions were fought and died for by ordinary workers just like you and me. Workers who made the union label.
In 1945, just over one out of every three private sector employees (35.5 percent) were union members. That number began to decline in the early sixties and by 1980 had dropped to barely one out of five (21.9 percent) according to the Bureau of Labor statistics (BLS). Today only 11.8 percent of private sector workers nationwide, and only 4 percent in Georgia, are members of a labor union. It's no coincidence that non-union workers' average wages have barely kept pace with inflation over the last decade. When increases in health insurance costs and the loss of other employee benefits are factored in, the average non-union worker has gone backwards. Our standard of living is in decline.
The American worker is in crisis, with unemployment mired at 8 percent the boss has us right where they want us; scared and pliable. Remember that next time you hear someone bashing unions. Ask yourself where that comes from and in whose best interest it is to keep workers running scared and pointing fingers at each other. Most of all, remember that when you go to the polls in November. Vote for the party that represents us, the American worker, vote Democrat.

With all the anti -union comments in previous comments, I'm glad you took the time to respond.The best thing for the workers in Georgia is to repeal the so called "Right to Work Laws or to use the correct name the "Georgia Right to Repress Workers Laws." The three legs to the stool are government,big business,and labor.Without any of these things the stool falls over.

Within the past few years my oldest daughter took a job as an attorney working for the Federal Government. She has since left the Govt. to go into the "real world". She has stated vehemently that the true problems we have with our government lie with the labor union choke hold. She uncovered outright theft of millions in her agency and was unable to have the employees involved fired. Sorry unions..your time is passed. You union leader guys need to go get yourselves a real job. Kirk

Unions had their purpose in the day but they abused their power through corruption. They also priced themselves out of work.
Jeffrey Allen

Very Eloquent, Brian. You make the legalized racketeering scheme that modern day unions have become sound downright heroic.
The union movement had it's place and time, and if their cause was still as noble as it was back in those days, then I would be inclined to agree with you. But that's just not the reality of today's labor unions. A noble cause doesn't slash tires or throw bricks through the windows of those who disagree with them, or deal in thug tactics to intimidate people into joining them. They're lobbing activities are just as often about self-preservation as they are "safety" issues. They are also invasive in the lives of their members, even when they are not at work. What other possible reason would the IAFF, a major labor union for firefighters, write into their bylaws that firefighters cannot serve their home communities as volunteers when they are OFF duty?
The real reason Joe Biden was selected as the Veep was because of his union support. I'll not be voting for the democrats, and this is one of the primary reasons.
Brian Crawford
8:43 am on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
All institutions are susceptible to corruption Jeff, even the church. The fact is there is a direct correlation between the drop in Union membership and the plight of the American worker. Without the threat of organized labor employers are free to treat workers as they please. I can tell you dozens of stories of friends who have been squeezed at work these last few years; employers demanding salaried employees to work longer hours or expecting hourly employees to work off the clock, employers cutting staff and doubling work loads, teachers and first responders taking huge pay cuts, and on and on. If the unions have problems then clean them up, don't shut them down. We need them now more than ever.
I hate to be so partisan but the GOP is clearly the party of, by, and for management. While not all management is bad (I've been management), corporate management is decidedly anti-labor. In a world now run by bean counters, when corporations look to pad the bottom line to improve share price and pump up executive bonuses, the first place they look is labor which is always their greatest expense.
Again ask yourself where all this union bashing comes from. The "Unions had their purpose in the day but they abused their power through corruption" is a well crafted line designed to pit us against each other and diminish our power to organize.
Brian Crawford

And yes, I guess I think that anyone who fights to help improve the lives of their fellow man is somewhat heroic. Folks like you for example. First responders are totally undervalued in the scheme of things.

No you are lying Brian unless all your friends that work off the clock are democrats. Then I would understand their stupidity for putting up with illegal abuse from their employer.
Your union heroes trespass on private property terrorizing innocent children in their own homes. You go ahead and praise them all you want. I'm in my fifty seven and have never worked or a union (by choice) and have never tolerated abuse from anyone. Certainly not my employer. Unions are just another bully to contend with. That's okay.

When things were good, employers gave in to the unions to keep people on the job and products flowing. The result of that is an over inflated price of goods. 20% of a new car's cost is due to inflated union benefits. The loss of American jobs to foreign countries like China is due in part to their over inflated union wages/benefits. Example: Fully absorbed labor costs for highly regulated medical devices in Tampa, FL...$35/hr. Fully absorbed labor costs for the same highly regulated medical devices in Dominican Republic...<$1/hr. Go Unions!! Keep sending our jobs overseas. You can always blame Bush 43.
Unions were needed many years ago. Employers abused employees but more importantly, made unregulated products and threatened employees about "whistle blowing." But that time has passed. Just ask anyone from AT&T. Heavily unionized, once the most powerful communications company in the world. Priced right out of the market. The automotive industry...once powerful, produced crap that we traded in every three years. Now, controlled by less expensive, higher quality foreign cars. Go Unions!! Open the door to foreign competition.
Made in America label? Haven't seen one of those in years. Even if they exist, they are probably printed in Canada. Thanks Bill Clinton and unions for NAFTA.

Can it be called "corruption" when it's written in the bylaws? That's an institutional overstep, it's intentional and widespread among the unions.
When the unions were good, they advocated for workers. They did not impose upon their lives, as they do today. I'm all for safety regulations, wage negotiations and all, but to impose restrictions when you're NOT at work, that's an overstep. Many union priorities serve only to strengthen the power of the union, and have nothing to do with safety or worker well being.

What. pray tell, would one "need" a union for? To harass people who aren't members who work without a contract? To go on strike because they don't like the fact that union workers make $18/hour instead of $18.50? To threaten people who work a part-time job on the side to make ends meet?

I'll be voting Republican. Has nothing to do with "unions" and everything to do with the communist currently in power. I didn't vote for him last time, and sure won't be voting for him this time! I just hope some others wake up and spit out the koolaid. When this nation goes under, even the unions won't be safe! Communism / socialism / Marxism affects all of us! Wake up, Dems!
11:36 am on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Brian, you are absolutely wrong and misinformed yourself. I have the book and have read the book penned in his own hand where he states clearly the way he believes and his intentions. Too bad his koolaid-drinking followers can't see the forest for the trees. I am only quoting what he has already stated.....so you are the one who is misinformed! You need to change the channel and wake up, sir.

You are wrong, Brian. He wrong it in his own hand. You need to read what he has written and decide again. His actions back up his claims. He just refuses to come clean with the American public and say it now because that will goof up his plans, but he is successfully dismantling this nation and moving us to a one-world government system. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. Sorry you refuse to see the light. As a banker/businessman, you should be able to read the handwriting on the wall....as well as the book written in the man's own hand. Come on, Brian. Don't let the DEM label and your liberal ideals get in the way of reality. I was "born a Democrat", but in the 90's I re-evaluated what each party stood for at that time. I chose Republican....not that I agree with everything, but that I agree with most of it. All one has to do to really open their eyes is look at the members of the Democratic Socialists of America and identify how many Dems in our political system are there. Don't lie for your current Pres., Brian! Wake up!

Unions are like the Democratic party- started out with a great ideal in mind, accomplished what they set out to do, but somewhere along the way became corrupt, and now those from the old school are still hanging on when it has serverd its purpose. In the OT, God gave them manna daily (for the purposes of that day), but told them that if they kept trying to hold onto it, it would go bad. Or, you can go with the analogy of new wine in old wineskins. Either way, the metaphor works. Unions started out doing a good thing, but now is used to buy votes, and hevyhand those who don't give them money . What about the unions that won't let employees have a secret ballot anymore (so to keep an eye on them???) talk bout big brother!
Karsten Torch
11:12 am on Saturday, September 8, 2012
There was a time for unions, but that time seems to have passed. With technology and the media, it behooves a company to treat employees fairly, both to avoid bad press and to keep employees from relocating to areas that would be more attractive to better candidates. I'll go ahead and say that I appreciate the unions for what they did, and salute them, but...
If unions were so great, they wouldn't be pushing to get rid of the secret ballots. There would be no reason to try and make the balloting public so as to be able to intimidate those voting. And if that's not the reason, please feel free to share what their reasoning is.
It's also kind of funny that union states are actually seeing higher unemployment, on average, than RTW states. The difference is minute, in fact one could say statistically unimportant, but it still exists. If union were so much better, then at the very least they should be up over RTW states by a statistically unimportant number.
Brian, your statements about RTW states showing lower wages than union states are fallacious. At best. Average pay has increased more under RTW states over the past 10 years, the recoveries have been faster, and the cost of living in RTW states is lower, thanks mainly to the non-artificially inflated wages...
11:44 am on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Well-said, Tammy and Karsten. In the union states we find freedom-of-choice non-existent in many jobs. When workers are hired they are forced to become union members. It's just the way things are.....you WILL be a union member and your dues WILL be taken out of your paycheck. Whatever the DEM union boss thugs decide IS the way it will be. If the union bosses say "strike", you don't go to work. You follow the crowd and do as you are told. Many union workers are disgruntled with the union system, but it is so ingrained in them that they don't even bother to think for themselves....to the point that they are told the Republicans are evil and Dems are good...so they follow the rhetoric and vote like they are told. In disagreeing with the union bosses on their jobs, if they speak out, there is @#$% to pay....so they keep their mouths shut and just do their jobs. Now, why would we want to change to a union state? I'm not saying all unions are bad or everything about every union is bad. They were begun for good reasons, but the mob mentality quickly took over the unions and they have never recovered. Personally, I have enough bosses without adding another layer....especially ones with a mob mentality. Spare me!!

Agreed Cindy (and Karsten) on all posts!
The deal is, for people like Brian, that all things have something good in them. Even the bad ones, because otherwise, people would see things for what they are and reject it. He clings to the good parts, while not realizing that those are for the benefit of sliding the real agenda through. It's become thuggish and I'm amazed that anyone with a brain would not see through that. Liberals are usually flower power, kittens and rainbow brite. Can't figure this one out. lol

we need more and stronger unions to represent working people.
Here are my bill of rights for working Georgians:
Georgia Workers' Bill of Rights
1. Equal pay for equal work
2. No discrimination in hiring, pay or promotions
3. The end to wage theft
4. Safe equipment and appropriate training
5. Stronger government enforcement of occupational safety and health laws
6. Health insurance for everyone
7. Health and other benefits for workers' partners
8. Paid sick leave and family medical leave
9 A ban of the box asking about felony convictions from applications
10. Abolition of "right to work" laws, which discourage union organizing
11. Collective bargaining rights for all workers
12. A guaranteed living wage tied to inflation
Larry Reid
5:34 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012
I don't need to pay a union to guarantee anything on your list. I just ask for a day's pay for a days work. I have always given that and always received it. If I don't like my employer, I can suck it up, find another, or become my own employer. That goes for everyone else.
" Abolition of "right to work" laws, which discourage union organizing "

Larry, not going to work for the libs. They need these rules to keep the evil corporations from taking advantage of the ignorant Americans. Because we all know that the poor average person is too dumb to fend for themselves. (This is where we need a sarcasm font) Plus, not only is the government the answer to all of our ills, how else will we keep the sheeple in line if we don't give the government as much power as possible?
Karsten Torch
12:29 pm on Thursday, September 13, 2012
And, as long as I'm at it...
1. Equal pay for equal work - we have this. It's called negotiating when hired. That's part of your work, so if you didn't negotiate well enough, then your work is not equal to others. We don't need the government to enforce this.
2. No discrimination in hiring, pay or promotions - fine, if you can prove discrimination. But, promoting a white person over one of color does not equal automatic discrimination. Sometimes somebody is just a better employee.
3. The end to wage theft - Not really sure what this means, either. Care to elaborate?
4. Safe equipment and appropriate training - already covered by OSHA. At least the equipment part. Training is in the company's best interest. Probably doesn't need to be regulated.
5. Stronger government enforcement of occupational safety and health laws - already stringent enough. I fail to see the benefit in giving government more power.
Karsten Torch
12:35 pm on Thursday, September 13, 2012
6. Health insurance for everyone - Exactly. Taken out of their checks. The way it's supposed to be.
7. Health and other benefits for workers' partners - you do realize these have costs, right? Regardless of who supplies it? So you want to, what, reduce the pay to the employee? Have less employees and more unemployment? Contrary to typical liberal belief, money is not just shat out, it comes from somewhere, and is in a limited supply.
8. Paid sick leave and family medical leave - Got that. Mostly. And go back and see #1.
9 A ban of the box asking about felony convictions from applications - I still want to know if the person I'm hiring is a thief or something related to the position I'm putting them in. Just sayin...it may matter.
10. Abolition of "right to work" laws, which discourage union organizing - and benefit economies and make for better pay increases overall and bring companies into areas, providing jobs.
11. Collective bargaining rights for all workers - See #10.
12. A guaranteed living wage tied to inflation - Define living wage. And what part of somebody having to support a family of four makes their work worth that wage? You want a living wage, make yourself attractive and necessary to employers. Make them more money than you cost. Or don't have a family of four until you are.
1:00 pm on Thursday, September 13, 2012
Karsten, clearly you are just one of those types who feel that companies exist to make a profit. Unions provide a "fair" and equal environment for any and all.
Just take Chicago for example. The teachers union is only demanding a 35% pay increase while millions of Americans have no job at all. Clearly the success rate in Chicago schools justifies the increase. It's no wonder that the crime rate is so high in Chicago. Thuggary is the only skill possessed by the up and coming community.
5:10 pm on Thursday, September 13, 2012
Sad. Isn't it? I think it's part of the whole cradle to grave mentality of liberals. As if a man or woman isn't intelligent or strong enough to survive without assistance.

More and stronger unions...maybe they should increase their dues that are required for an employee to get work.
#1,2,4,5,6,7,8 is already enforced by the US government.
#10 means anyone not wanting to join a union would remain unemployed...that doesn't seem fair to force a person to pay in order to work. Unions would croak if an employer required a pay for work plan.
#3 makes no sense to me. Who is stealing your wages? Are you talking about union dues?
#11 would be stupid. I work harder and deserve more. I don't want to be grouped in with a bunch of worthless workers.
#12 would require a reduction in pay over the past few years. I would love to see the union response to that!

The Chicago teachers are on strike. God bless those poor teachers who average only $71,000 a year plus benefits. Thank God have a union to look after them. The union turned down the ridiculous offer of a 16% pay raise. I certainly hope they get what's coming to them.

Why are you angry at other workers because they are making a decent wage?
Why don't you get mad at the employers, or the large corporations whose main interest is to make gigantic profits for their shareholders, not the interest of their workers.
3:30 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
Maureen, you sound like a Communist....or at the least, a Socialist. Large corporations? Shareholders? Gigantic profits? What do you know about corporations? Do you truly believe corporations are "the evil rich"? Sounds like it. Capitalism is the name of the game. Without it your freedoms just are no longer existent. I know many in this nation are so shortsighted they think Socialism is a better option. I encourage all those who feel that way to go to a Communist or Socialist country and try it out for a while. Find out how limiting their freedoms really are. Interesting how Democrat leaders spout the rhetoric about the evil rich, etc....while they are some of the richest in the nation. Their sheeple follow blindly and falsely accuse everyone else of being "rich". I can name a number of Dems who have more money than brains. The socialist spouting Dem sheeple don't even acknowledge their lying leaders. Interesting.
Brian Crawford
8:08 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
Cindy, you're confusing capitalism with corporatism. Corporatism is a greater threat to our constitution than communism ever was. Maureen is correct. Corporations, by design (in fact by law), have only one goal: to maximize profits for shareholders. They have no stake in the common good, no loyalty to country, no sense of patriotic duty.
Labor is the number one expense for any company so it is only natural that corporations seek to find the cheapest labor available to them. It doesn't matter if that labor is found in Ecuador or China or anywhere else for that matter. If corporations can drive down our standard of living and find people willing to work in poor conditions for substandard wages here at home then that's fine by them too.
The richest woman in the world, an Australian invested heavily in her country's mining industry, was recently bemoaning the fact that African miners are willing to work for $2 a day in much more dangerous condition. She suggested importing these workers to work Australia's mines. Sound familiar?
8:30 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
No, she's not confusing anything Brian. She has you and your group pegged precisely as Socialist.
You are the one confused. The purpose of a corporation is to grow faster than the rate of inflation. Period.
As a person that owned and managed four manufacturing sites in China, one in Singapore and two in Japan, I can tell you that the workers are treated very well there. Workers line up for jobs everyday. If one of the employees is sick, they send in a relative to insure their job is completed and retained. Chinese workers especially are grateful for any work. The government isn't taking care of them after all. To have transportation to the plant provided, meals during working hours, AND a salary is a dream come true. Many came from farming where wages are $1 per month. To get a job that pays $1 per day is unreal to them. Liberals in the US think they are being mistreated because they aren't being paid union wages. I suggest you take a busload of union organizers and drop them off in front of the plant. Tell them they can only work when the union allows it but in return they can pay the unions for this privilege. Be sure to pack toe tags for the organizers.
Brian Crawford

Right David. Workers in China are treated so well that Apple's Foxconn plant had to install a net around the building to keep workers from jumping off the roof. Give me a break. Worker abuse is rampant in much of the world and if the union busters have their way it will be here in another generation.
11:15 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
I've never seen anyone jumping off a building. I've never seen nets around buildings. But there are mentally ill people everywhere, I suppose even in China. The good news....for every individual that commits suicide, there are 100's more waiting to take their job. Hungry for their job. Begging for their job. No unions necessary, no mistreatment of the workers. As I said, we provided transportation, meals, healthcare, and a salary. We employed about 2800 workers but had 100,000 applications. Maybe 90,000 of these were just looking for a place to jump off a building.
10:53 pm on Monday, September 17, 2012
David, Thank you for your insight. Sure is good to hear from someone who has seen corporate America and the corporate world. Without it.....well, I hate to think what we would be like without our capitalist society...or what's left of it. The brainwashing is extensive. Difficult to get folks to see the bottom line in business, and to see that the evil corporations are "owned" by the shareholders....who might just be you and me. I'm not rich, but I'm paying taxes like I am. I am, however, not sitting around griping about Wall Street, what others have that I don't, and how the gov'ment owes me a living. I'd settle with getting some of these high taxes returned....but that's not going to happen. Obama and Michelle have to pay for their vacation this week. :)

Jeffrey, all due respect. It's not a few days out of school that these Chicago children need be concerned. It's the potential of spending 7 or 8 full years (if that) under these Union Workers that their future might depend.

What is most telling about the liberal view of the world is its consistent bias and distortion of reality. In this case, abuse of employees by employers is presented as a crime against humanity while abuse of employees by unions is written off as nothing of concern because "all institutions are subject to correction". In the case of unions, it's not a matter of being subject to corruption, it's a case of embracing it.
The liberal eye is blind to that, and sees nothing wrong with corruption if it's embraced in the name of worker representation. But the embrace is false. On the surface, unions fight for their members, but for the most part, they are actually fighting for their own perpetuation.

I'm not surprised by all the anti union rhetoric...this is the south after all. Have you never heard of anyone being fired by a boss for no good reason? I'm amazed at all the benevolent bosses out there.. Unions protect workers. To me that is not something that has passed it's time. As the gap continues to widen between the rich and everyone else, unions will be needed more than ever. I wonder how many of the people who have written such anti union responses have ever actually been in a union? I have and can tell you, I have never ever experienced any of the negative things, but have experienced good wages, protection from someone's whims and power trips, and a sense of brotherhood with my fellow workers.
Perhaps if kids were taught about unions all through their schooling there wouldn't be all these misconceptions, but you can be sure that will never happen because it's not in the best interest of corporations.
9:26 pm on Saturday, September 15, 2012
"Perhaps if kids were taught about unions all through their schooling there wouldn't be all these misconceptions"
Tell that to the kids in Chicago. Right now, they aren't being taught anything by their teachers. Hooray for the unions. Too bad for the students.
10:13 pm on Saturday, September 15, 2012
Hey Maureen, you are correct. This Is The South.
Union, government school educated are you?
You say:
"I'm not surprised by all the anti union rhetoric...this is the south after all"
"You might want to work a little harder at not sounding like a racist. Just saying!"
"I just read an article in the NY Times"
"My ex-father-in-law"
Four statements from your last four patch posts. I am going to use a little from each to say:
I am not the least surprised that you have an "ex-father-in-law" and that you "read an article in the NY Times" and that you accuse others of "sounding like a racist" and that you would make the comment "this is the south after all".

The single biggest issue in the workforce today, in my opinion, is that the union cannot force large American corporations to hire Americans. The off-shoring of our middle class jobs is what is causing the decline of the middle class. The teachers in Chicago need a raise. The cost of kevlar goes up everyday.
9:20 pm on Sunday, September 16, 2012
Chicago teachers info: I have friends in the northern states and can address the issue a little. These teachers are forced to join the union because they are not in a "right to work" state. In other words, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO WORK when the union thug "bosses" tell them to strike. How's that for freedom? Any First Amendment rights today, Chicago teachers? Even those who want to go to work cannot do so. It's so bad in the union states that the union dictates to teachers the hours they are allowed to work. Here in Georgia I can stay late at school if I have things I need to do. I can come in early. I can meet with parents at my convenience if I choose to do so. In "union" states, teachers are told by the unions what time to arrive and leave. If the teachers do not adhere, they are given one chance to correct that error. I'm sorry to you libs who love government and union intervention, but I have a brain in my head and I HATE to be told what to do. This is the USA! I want my freedoms guaranteed to me by the US Constitution. I do NOT want a thug telling me what I'd better do! If you think unions are so great, MOVE to a union state...NOW. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. We WANT you to move..and take your liberalism with you! Many of us are very, very happy with our current level of thinking, freedom, and ability to choose a job and negotiate our own terms...especially in this liberal-induced low economy!

Your use of the word "thug" makes your argument a fallacy(Argumentum ad Hominem) and destroys your credibility.In truth most unions members freely elect their own representatives in free elections and are not thugs.That term thug is normally used by right-wing talk shows.
10:57 pm on Monday, September 17, 2012
George, FYI. I've been a "union" member. I know a thug when I see one....and when I meet one. From your own comments, it doesn't sound like you know much about the current workforce in our country. Maybe you are out of the loop. I don't have an "argument"....just information and opinions....just like you. You can try to cover for the union bosses (aka thugs) if you like....but they are so transparent you are wasting your precious time. We AIN'T blind! :)
8:14 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
I am reminded of many years ago, making a sales call on a customer during a strike. I surprised the picket line and drove into the plant right past them before they saw me coming. The management working to keep the plant running were living at the plant since they couldn't leave...the tires on their cars had been slashed and windows broken in the parking lot. Most had sent their families away as their homes were being vandalized by the union workers too. It took police presence for me to leave the plant although I believe the police were there to protect the workers from me running them over rather than make them move out of the drive. And when the strike was over, the net gain in wages and benefits was much smaller than the loss of income during the strike. And the employees returned greeting management as if things were still good between them. These are the people that terrorized their families and destroyed their cars and now they walk in as if nothing happened. I just don't understand this. If I owned the company, it would be a cold day in hell before any of those workers ever returned. I would hire all new people before I would ever allow one of the strikers to return.
8:17 am on Monday, September 17, 2012
There was a company in SC that was under threat of organization once. Union organizers would wait in the parking lot during shift change. One phone call to the police to report that one of their female employees was assaulted recently and now their were strange men in the parking lot ended that organization effort. I don't think the organizers enjoyed spending the night in a southern jail being questioned about raping a woman in the parking lot.
11:02 pm on Monday, September 17, 2012
David, I LOVE your comments! I'm still laughing about "organizers" spending the night in a southern jail. No wonder some of the northern unionized companies have opened locations in southern "right to work" states. We don't always take kindly to somebody "in our business"....telling us what to do. We may smile, say "bless your heart", but we will get even....with a smile on our sweet southern faces. My grandma used to say, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." (Figure of speech, fellow animal lovers.)

Rahm Emanuel is now threatening the Chicago teachers union. You know being a union loving thug himself, it's got to be killing him.
Meanwhile this in-sipid, fat, useless Lewis woman is shown on CNN with all the other morons dancing with signs. They look just like the occuturds. Talk about greedy. What a bunch of losers.

After reading Brian's accurate reporting of the suicide rate at the Apple plant in China and the need for nets to keep other exploited young people from jumping to their deaths, I read David's response. Perhaps because workers are a dime a dozen, or more accurately, $12 a dozen for a day, you don't extend them any humanity, or perhaps you are just cruel.

I have found Brian Crawford to be credible source of information and have never found him in error on any of his comments. As a matter of fact, very often he gives the very source of his information which is invaluable. Many other comments from others are just regurgitations from some right wing radio shows, right-wing websites , Fox News none very accurate or credible.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that conditions in China aren't deplorable, but more people are killing themselves because of the over-reach of the communist government and the control they have over people than because their working conditions are so terrible.
4:43 pm on Monday, September 17, 2012
But that's what's so wrong. Working conditions in China aren't deplorable. There are deplorable conditions in China as in every communist country where poverty reigns. But the lucky ones with jobs in China are just that, the lucky ones. They can now afford food, a residence, etc.

Since China is a Communist country, maybe our Democratic socialists would like to travel over there for an extended stay of, perhaps 15 years, then send us a report on how wonderful it is in a true communist country. Just a thought. It would be better than trying to make our great nation into a communist country. Too bad we're on the road to where we don't really want to go!

@George Gibson,
Please explain to the unwashed how it is you vilify successful corporation CEOs while defending RICH union leaders who in many cases force union members to act against their will as if they were slaves?
How do you justify criticizing the so called "RICH" while you never mention people like Harry Reid who has become rich as a senator? How about Obama who has become VERY RICH while holding public office?
Please George Gibson tell Athens Mama and the rest of us why you leave out so many of these details while criticizing Republicans.
Just curious
1:39 pm on Tuesday, September 18, 2012
Interesting comment previously made by Brian about corporations was "Corporations, by design (in fact by law), have only one goal: to maximize profits for shareholders. They have no stake in the common good, no loyalty to country, no sense of patriotic duty....If corporations can drive down our standard of living and find people willing to work in poor conditions for substandard wages here at home then that's fine by them too."
Since those of us who are corporate "owners" aka "shareholders" are generally very patriotic, it stands to reason that the corporations are also patriotic...although the inanimate entity known as "corporations", by definition--being made up of many, many shareholders openly buying and selling on the public market, must take on "human" characteristics in order to be perceived as some evil monster out to destroy our nation. No, corporations are not the problems. Without our corporate structure in this country, where would all your goods be produced, marketed, and sold? That's right! They wouldn't be produced, marketed, and sold. You would, therefore, be living in squallor, standing in a government line for a generic tidbit of toilet tissue or some other basic item. Your choices would be severely limited, and your government would control your every word and deed. If you don't appreciate our corporations, I wonder why you are here in this nation. Go somewhere and experience the lack before you tell me how wonderful nothingness is-aka communism. :)

Cindy, our economy flourished when corporations were held in check. In the world I grew up in Anti-trust laws were strictly enforced to prevent "too big to fail" and allow the American entrepreneurial spirit to grow. Instead of being paid a substandard wage to work for some huge faceless corporation like WalMart folks were encouraged to start their own businesses.
We were a nation of shop keepers and manufacturers. There were Men's Shops and Dress shops, Hardware stores and lumber yards. Independent grocers and pharmacies. People had ownership in their communities because they were dependent on each other for their livelihoods. That was the American dream and thanks to unbridled corporatism it barely exists anymore.
I'm afraid you have been sold a bill of goods by the corporations that want to keep you beholden to them. You think you have ownership in a company because you own stock? Unless you are wealthy enough to own a sufficient amount of stock you have zero say in how that company is run.
5:08 pm on Tuesday, September 18, 2012
RE: "Since those of us who are corporate "owners" aka "shareholders" are generally very patriotic, it stands to reason that the corporations are also patriotic..."
I'm sorry, but it does not stand to reason that corporations are patriotic because their owners are patriotic any more than it stands to reason that a shovel or a ceiling fan is patriotic because their owners are patriotic.
Corporations can't be patriotic because corporations are a legal concept identified on a piece of paper or within a series of 0s and 1s on a computer chip. They can be created at will and dissolved at will. Like shovels and ceiling fans, corporations are inanimate. Like tools created to more easily accomplish goals such as digging a hole or cooling a room, a corporation is a tool used to raise funds to start and grow a business. We don't exist to serve corporations. To the contrary, they exist to serve us.
Without our corporate structure in this country, where would all your goods be produced, marketed, and sold? To be clear, if people don't want to enjoy the traditional benefits of corporations--primarily limited owner liability--then they're free to invest in sole proprietorships and partnerships.

Passengers on board urging the T to move with encouraging chants of "come on, come on" and "you can do it..."
I am not chanting encouragements. I'm muttering curses.
Kinda sorta driving forward (I could walk faster). And only front door operational - and only by the emergency release lever.
Teens sought for trying to sell guns at a T stop
By adamg - 1/5/13 - 3:08 pmMBTA Transit Police have released photos of two guys they say approached somebody at the Bremen Street entrance to the Airport T stop on Dec. 22 and "offered to sell him a .40 caliber and/or a .380 caliber firearm."
One is black, about 6'2" with a Pirates cap, dark parka with a fur-lined hood, jeans and sneakers. The other is Hispanic, 5'6" to 5'8" with a small mustache, wearing a blue leather jacket with white stripes down the arms and across the chest with some type of symbol on the upper left chest.

Too bad they don't make Klepto Bismol: Woman arrested for stealing Silver Line inspector's bag says she couldn't help it
By adamg - 1/5/13 - 1:37 pmMBTA Transit Police report arresting a woman they say stole a Silver Line inspector's bag, threw it into Fort Point Channel and then announced to officers that she couldn't help herself because she's a kleptomaniac.
Nyllabrii Raikou, 20, was arrested shortly after 10 p.m. yesterday on the Summer Street bridge - where they found her being pursued by the inspector. Police say the inspector arrived at the inspector's booth at the Silver Line platform at South Station to find Raikou inside:
Upon noticing the victim Raikou exited and began to walk away. The victim immediately went inside the booth and noticed his personal bag was missing containing his cell phone and other items as well as a MBTA radio battery.
Upon noticing the victim still following her and seeing the flashing blue lights of a Transit Police cruiser less then a block away Raikou tossed the victim's bag with all its contents into the Fort Point Chanel. Officers made several attempts to recover the bag however the currents were moving too swiftly.
Innocent, etc.

How to expand South Station without waiting several decades for the post office to move
By adamg - 1/5/13 - 11:10 amUtile reports on an interesting proposal by a couple of Yale architecture students: Drain Fort Point Channel south of Summer Street and put the tracks underground there - under a brand-new South Station:
The benefit is a fully subterranean train station, allowing for the redevelopment of both the existing and new track areas for urban development that can knit the Leather District directly to the loft buildings in the Fort Point District.
Just as importantly, the new South Station headhouse will provide views north across Fort Point Channel and Boston Harbor to visitors first arriving in Boston. Only the train station in Venice provides a comparatively dramatic view. Commuters and visitors would find water taxis and ferries directly across Summer Street. Importantly, the new tracks and station could be built while the existing station is fully operational. With only a flip of a switch, trains could be directed into the new station, freeing up the old facility for demolition - except for the historic headhouse, which would be saved as part of a redevelopment plan.
Sounds cool, although, of course, there are some pesky details that would need some attention, beyond the whole idea of building a dam at Summer Street: Gillette uses vast amounts of water from Fort Point Channel at World Shaving Headquarters (although presumably that's why God gave us pipes) and part of the Ted Williams Tunnel goes right under the channel.
Bonus fun fact: There used to be a looped train tunnel under South Station, but it was only used once and later part of it became a bowling alley.
Red Line held hostage: Day 3
By adamg - 1/4/13 - 9:19 amIn 2013, the Red Line is now 3 for 3 for morning delays, this time due to signal problems at North Quincy.

In this young year, the Red Line is now 2 for 2 in morning-commute delays due to dead trains, this time at JFK/UMass, but today has the extra bonus of delays due to "weather-related issues."
Meghan C. reports it took her 75 minutes to get from Braintree to MGH.
The Green Line was also having problems, due to a recalcitrant train at Kenmore. There was also a dead train on the Blue Line.

A 21st-century commuter-rail train enters testing
By adamg - 1/2/13 - 10:48 am
The MBTA today released this photo of brand-new two-level coaches being tested on the Lowell Line, between Anderson and North Billerica. The four coaches, part of a larger order that's now two years late, should go into service this winter.
The coaches will let the T expand capacity by eliminating the current single-level coaches, but will not help with the sort of locomotive and switching problems that caused up to 60-minute delays on some lines into South Station this morning. The T has a separate order with a different company for new locomotives.

And now we're playing musical trains. "Everyone get off of the train, there's a problem." "Alright, everyone back on, we fixed it."

The year on the T: Weirdness

On a big system like the T (several hundred thousand riders on a weekday), you'd expect a certain amount of weirdness. You'd be right. Some examples from 2012:
The year on the T: Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad, but mostly angry
By adamg - 1/1/13 - 4:11 pmA lot of angry people take the T, including a T driver in Kenmore Square, who angrily responded to a BTD supervisor who wanted her to move her bus by flooring the accelerator, hitting the supervisor and several parked cars.
More anger on the T:
The year on the T: Only on the Green Line
By adamg - 1/1/13 - 2:00 pm
The Green Line has always stood apart from the other three T lines - and only partly because it's the only trolley line. Which other line would suffer service delays due to turtle? Here are some highlights from the Green Line, 2012 edition:

MBTA Transit Police report the driver of the bus last night "observed two individuals standing in a driveway who appeared to be holding a firearm," as the bus passed Archdale Road on its way to Forest Hills.
Police say two of the buses windows were "intact but completely fractured" after apparently being shot at with "an air powered BB gun."

By adamg - 12/28/12 - 11:20 amMBTA Transit Police report arresting William Gwiazda, 33, on charges he went up to an undercover cop at the South Station bus terminal around 7:30 p.m. yesterday, started chatting him up, then offered to sell him some methadone:
Three of four subway lines grind to a crawl this afternoon
By adamg - 12/27/12 - 2:56 pmWhat do you make of this, Johnny? Trains on the Orange, Green and Blue lines slowed due to a power problem the T has yet to identify. Officials report power had come back at several locations by 1:45 p.m., however. The Blue Line was reported back up and running about five minutes after that.
So a Level 3 sex offender and a man wanted for attacking a cop walk into a T station ...
By adamg - 12/27/12 - 10:33 amAnd both wind up under arrest, MBTA Transit Police report.
Police say officers arrived at Back Bay station around 9:30 p.m. yesterday to find two men brawling. After officers separated them, police say, each accused the other of starting the fight. Neither, however, wanted to press charges agains the other, police say, adding:
Officers on scene were able to determine [John] Carpenter had an outstanding default warrant in existence for his arrest for the following charges: Assault and Battery on a Police Officer, Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Trespassing issued from Boston Municipal Court. [Steven] Odom, a level 3 sex offender failed to register as such in the City of Boston in violation of MGL CH.6 S178. Both Carpenter and Odom were taken into custody and transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process. Both men will appear in Boston Municipal Court sometime today.
According to state records, Odom, a Dorchester resident, was convicted of indecent assault and battery in 2006.
Innocent, etc.
Right on schedule, MBTA warns of possible service cuts, fare hikes
By adamg - 12/27/12 - 9:45 amAs it now does at the end of every year, the MBTA is warning it will have to cut service and raise fares without action by the legislature to give it more money for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
This time, however, the T says it will hold off on specific proposals until March, to give the legislature time to work on another attempt at changing how public transportation and roads are funded in the state - the governor is expected to submit a proposal early next month.
In recent years, the T warns of impending slashing/fare hiking around New Year's, followed by the legislature throwing some money at the problem in early summer.

Kimbo Slice's trainer legendary mixed martial arts veteran Bas Rutten, on his website, defends his fighters performance on last Saturdays EliteXC "Primetime". Rutten also stated that rules are rules and the fight should have been stopped in the second round. Here's the clip:
People ask me if the fight should have been stopped at the end in the second round, I say YES because those are the rules, it should have been stopped because Kimbo didn't do anything to improve his situation. But I think what made the ref NOT do it was the fact that Kimbo was giving his thumbs up the whole time to let the referee know that he was OK.
This was the refs decision, not Kimbo's.
Rutten defends his fighters performance while explaining his mistakes:
Did he make mistakes? Of course, but than again, everybody makes mistakes plus he's training MMA for only a year. I think that he had a few really good escapes from the bottom. Of course I wanted him to buck up, explode and escape the last one and a half minute of round number two, but he didn't.
He DID give his "thumbs up†sign to the referee telling him he was OK and that the short elbows didn't hurt him. Still, he should have escaped but he told me later that he was saving energy for the third round and because he thought the elbows didn't have any effect anyway, he chose that moment.
I told him that it wasn't good to do because the ref can stop the fight PLUS what if you get cut? So that won't happen again.He also didn't close his guard a few times and he should have done that. In round two he had James in a guillotine choke but didn't close his guard, that was too bad because Thompson escaped exactly how I showed Kimbo that you should escape when your opponent doesn't close his guard, but you learn from your mistakes so that won't happen again either.
For the full statement check out Ruttens website.

Market News - Aug 30th 2012
Aug 30, 2012
This time of year is one of my favorites for market, you still have some of the 'summer produce; strawberries, melons and fresh greens but you also get the fall veggies creeping in; potatoes, apples, winter squash and of course, fresh roasted green chills. We will have all these and more at market Thursday.

Vendor SpotlightBella Home Boutique and BakeryBella Home Boutique and Bakery opened this past December and have been growing ever since. Located in downtown Laramie the old Home Bakery re-opened with a new concept and a new name; Bella Home Boutique & Bakery. The new store is a bit of a change from the old Home Bakery as it mixes an elegant boutique into the mix with the bakery. The idea to combine the bakery and boutique came about when the two sisters read an article in one of their favorite magazines about a woman who had recently opened a boutique that sold cupcakes and baked goods out of the back of the store. Wouldn't you know it the Home Bakery in Laramie just happened to be for lease, and the sisters opening the store even happened to be friends with Kim Campbell, the old owner of the home bakery who is back baking once again. Stephanie, one of the sisters who own Bella Home Boutique & Bakery, said that people have been coming in to request all of their old favorites that the bakery used to bake up. The main items being produced by the bakery are cookies, croissants, butterhorns, cinnamon rolls, a delicious variety of cupcakes, and a plethora of breads including white, wheat, marbled rye, and cinnamon swirl. The bakery potion of the store takes special orders for baked goods like cakes and cookies for any special events. The bakery also has food for lunch including some of the great soups and sandwiches from the past. Stop by the bakery often as the items baked will change on a daily basis.

This time the decision is final. Stephens Hardware, a fixture on Broad Street for 78 years, is closing.
Last summer the five Stephens brothers who own the business announced plans to sell it or to close by the end of 2011. They subsequently reversed that decision, in part because potential buyers were wary of the continuing economic slowdown, and longtime customers were persuasive in lamenting the loss of the store with old-fashioned charm along with its updated inventory.
A new decision was made then to make some changes in the store's offerings and move forward once more.
Last week Wray Stephens who managed the business for 25 years before leaving to work with the North Carolina Methodist Conference, announced that the Stephens store will close this fall, probably by the end of September.
Meanwhile, the store is reducing inventory by offering significant price reductions.
Wray Stephens said no decision has been made about what to do with the building once the store is closed.
Stephens Hardware, as it was generally known in the community, had added a building supply business and a separate building for lighting fixtures and supplies when it reached its peak sales record of $95 million in 2007. At that time Stephens had 94 employees. Then came the recession and a virtual halt to new home building. The company closed its building supplies business and the lighting store. The continuing economic slowdown hurt other sales as well. Today there are seven employees.
The store was founded in 1934 by the late Isaac Stephens. It is now owned by his five sons, Bob, Fred, Jim, Isaac and Wray.
