What unmitigated nonsense. Mr. Bill advocates slavery as the lowest
common
denominator.

Or... they can get together and pass some laws .... like say a minimum
wage
law ... and make you pay them or go out of business. They might also pass
a
law that says you have to pay something like, say, a Social Security tax
so
they have a safety net in their senior years. Along the way they might
also
pass some laws regarding overtime, length of work week, safety on the job,
legal holidays, the right to unionize, the mandate that you must negotiate
with that union, etc. In fact, Mr. Bill, if the people get pissed enough
they
can pass a law that puts you completely out of business if you trade in
child
****ograpy, slavery, etc. Now with all these possibilities at hand ....
maybe
we ought to start lobbying for a Mr. Bill's law.

In your ignorance Mr. Bill, we shall forgive this very biased, incorrect
and
shortsighted statement. I think if you took the time to investigate you
would
find many medium to major size cor****ations rely on unions to help them
manage. The union also provides a very convenient scapegoat for morons
like
you.
