Hey! I resemble that remark!  :biggrin:

Yeah, but you take offense at everything ... hissing kittens ... over-ripe peaches ... snotty four-year-olds. The remark was aimed at FTW (what does that really stand for?)

The union is voting again tonight. Lots of speculation on the offer. No facts to be found.

Obviously, the entity with the power is the one who can shut it down. If the employer can hire qualified replacements, the employer holds the power. If the process requires on-the-job training, the employee holds the power. Hence the dynamic tension of the strike.

Do you care to modify your answer in light of the evidence below? 

Just to make my point:

In the struggle twixt Capital and Labor in the Capitalist system, Capital holds the ultimate power - Capital can simply fold their tent.  One example being the movement of manufacturing to outside of our borders.

There are usually a couple of common reasons people's ideology leans toward siding with Capital against organized Labor: 1) jealousy by those less well off  2) self defense/preservation by those who are, or see themselves as, Capital.

You thought I was wrong???  They're already replacing them!

Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.  ;)

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S. I. Hayakawa
