Can you really take any numbers that W puts out there as accurate? He's missed the mark every single time he spews out a number. How bout those health care numbers....

It's a bad thing and many people who depend on overtime are not voting for him because of this. He's not for the working class that's for sure.

BTW... in our city, Union men make the beer you're probably enjoying right now. If you think this doesn't effect the men who've worked at places like AB their whole life.. wake up.
They aren't 'doing away' with unions or even propsing that.. they just want to 'reorganize' so companies can make a higher profit at the expense of the worker. AT AB, you have to work a certain amount of OT. You HAVE to, especially at Xmas. That won't change just because you dont' have to be paid for it. It's going to hurt families if this goes into effect.

Not all Union men are "inbreds". That's a very shortsided statement. The hotel industry is union, there's the resturant workers union.. It's not just dumb dockworkers this will effect.

Real people with real families, kids in college, mortages, lives are who will be ef fected. Whether or not any one agree with unions, is irrelevent to this proposal.
