Ya Know Folks,
We need good Management and good Labor. Without one the other is up the creek without a paddle, so to speak. Lots of us want to be just a good worker and leave the "Driving" to someone else. I would rather be a worker than management. Now we have the best workers in the world. But, when they start trying to be managers, without good training things can go wrong pretty quickly.

Up above John says the middle class has been gutted. I don't know if that is true or not. True, the Unions are losing some of the gains they had for a long time. But you can also say it is just a correction to the system. If the system pays you an average of say 20 dollars an hour, you aren't going to get 30, except for a while and then you are going to revert to the system average, if you can get that. Nobody plans these things, it just happens.

Now Big Jim says Boeing broke the labor laws. Really? The U.S. Constution gurantees us the right to Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness. Boeing has every right to locate a plant in another state, of which is a Right To Work State. It's either that or next stop, India, China, etc. The problem, that hasn't been spelled out by anyone that I know of, is sometime in the future Boeing is going to close the Plant in Seattle and move everything somewhere else. It is a sign of the times.

That is why Automobile Manufactures have moved south. It's either that or somewhere overseas. You can't sell cars too high priced that nobody can afford.
