I don't know. Hopefully Starbucks will issue a directive to
their employees to stop paying taxes and boycott itself and
similar corporations.

No, the question was "Why would any company want their
employees following organized crime thugs?"

On its face, this has nothing at all to do with unionizing.

In the context, it is obvious that WmJames was referring to unions as
"organized crime thugs".
This usage of context to infer meanings is usually mastered by 6th grade. It
is never too late to take a class in remedial reading.

My, My, My, but did the IQ of this thread ever drop quickly.

But within the juvenile mudslinging there are a few important points being
brought out:

1.
If I decide that my best interests are served by joining a union how do I
make sure I am not joining a corrupt union that will simply steal my dues?

2.
Why are freedom loving capitalists so against unions? Couldn't have anything
to do with higher wages and improved benifits eating into profits?

3.
Why do freedom loving capitalists NOT rise up against cartels and monoplies
that distort the "natural" operation of the free market? Couldn't have
anything to do with artifically driving prices and profits up?

I would answer that plain old greed is the answer to 2 and 3. And the
answer to 1 is a bit of due diligence.

A new question: are there situations where a monoply makes sense for the
average citizen (I'll puke the next time someone refers to me as a
"consumer")?

Yeah, and all those 20-something college-age Americans are being forced to
work there against their will, right? I guess YOU would think it's a
sweatshop, given that you strike me as the type of feminized, spoiled
cry-baby who has never held a real job one day in his life.

Tell us, Dan Clore, self-appointed "voice" of the workers - what in the hell
do YOU do for a living?

I am living nicely on my UAW retirement plan. I am one of those poor guys so
abused by unions I had to wait until I was 48 to retire with pay and benefits.

I am living nicely on my UAW retirement plan. I am one of those poor guys so
abused by unions I had to wait until I was 48 to retire with pay and benefits.

Odd, but I and my fellow anarchists aren't the one arguing
that workers should not be allowed the choice of joining a
union.

Fine with me if they do, just as it's fine if they tell you
guys to go screw yourselves if they want to join a union.

A typical lie from Stain. I consider Castro's Cuba is a
typical state-capitalist totalitarian hellhole.

I haven't been able to work regularly due to chronic illness
since I was a teen-ager. Before that I did some janitorial
work while attending college (which I started full-time when
I was seventeen). Since then I've concentrated on free-lance
writing (link to get my book in my sigfile, and a fuller
bibliography on my website, with many more future
publications in the works), and occasionally worked
part-time hosting a website.

Not that I see what any of this matters.

Can't come up with a real argument so you want to shoot the messenger?

Came up with an argument that when right over your little head. Nobody is
being forced to work at Starbucks, McDonalds, Wal-Mart, or whatever
corporate villian du juor that grabs the attention of Clore & Co. on a given
day. If you think the company sucks, quit and work somewhere else. If you
think that all companies suck, start your OWN business and exploit yourself.

All the people whining and crying about the afforementioned companies act
like the people who work there are being deprived of alternatives somewhere
else, when they aren't. If they aren't pulling down $100K/year with
benefits, it's not because some retail/fast-food chain is holding them
hostage and keeping them from working at Microsoft - it's because they
simply lack the job skills to do better. Given that education is free until
12th grade, and community colleges are ubiquitous and still relatively
cheap, whose damn fault is it when somebody refuses to take advantage of the
educational opportunities available in this country and can't do better than
flipping burgers and working a computerized cash register?
