Maybe if there were enough workers employed these problems wouldn't exist, no?

When crap like this happens I don't blame the working man, I blame corporate HQ. Oh how is the stock doing today? Did I make my million dollar bonus this quarter?

The only corporate salaries agreed to by the board and voted on by shareholders are officer-level salaries. If executive compensation is inflated, the fault lies just as much with your board and owners as it does your "corporate HQ."

If you work hard enough, maybe you'll make the big bucks one day. Regardless, complaining on an anonymous message board isn't doing anything to help your cause.

Also, how do you figure they aren't employing enough workers? They're employing 6,000 people in friggin Canton, Mississippi!

I am not silly enough to assume that the average plant worker is capable of founding the Nissan Motor Corpration.

When will you folks realize that not everyone is a capitalist at heart?

Ah, troll confirmed.

A miracle Nissan is in Mississippi at all. UAW sending big cash to black preachers to buy the vote.

No, Trump won because Millions of Obama Voters just liked Trump and his message better and Hillary was running to be the third term of Obama which they completely opposed. Her baggage just sealed the deal for them.

Move those fricking goalposts

If trump only won because trump would have lost to anybody then every single democrat in existence is a liar of the first order because they did not just lie and say she was adequate they lied and said she was THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE EVER

When they say the same exact thing about their next token what idiot will believe them?

In our union vote, a few meetings in a genius raised his head and asked what a strike was.

It would have been hilarious if my department wasn't being dragged into the mess by bitter non performers and my future affected by their votes.

Not only that, but if you didn't vote for Hiliary, regardless if you voted for Trump or not, it was because you were a misogynist that simply wasn't "ready" to have a female president.

Go check out some pictures of UAW folks in car plants. Many have no long pants, safety toed shoes, safety glasses, or even hardhats. That's all because the union has negotiated these comfort standards.


I've literally never seen a more unintelligent post on this site. I hope that you're being satirical, but I fear that you're not.

Let me give you a point of reference from here in Malaysia.

My Malaysian friend just got a job offer from Helliburton.

$1,600 / month and a mandatory 3 year bond (means he cant quit or suffers penalties)

just an interesting dichotomy I see between here and there

Not only are you not a capitalist you misunderstand the fundamental principle of it or are a liar.

Unions don't "stick it to the man" they stick it to the consumer, Mr. Nissan nor his board nor any company officers will be taking a pay cut to pay for this, the customer just has to pay the toll.

And when we are discussing Nissan not Porsche we are not exactly soaking the rich, this entire proposal is to take money from one group and give it to folks that are most likely making more than those it was taken from.

The total lack of comprehension and understanding of most so called progressives boggles the mind.

If the UAW gets a foot in the door, Jackson really will be the Detroit of the South.
