I've seen what happens when employers have the power over the people and crush them under their bootheel. It's not fair to say "then just go work some where else" some times, often times these are the very employers who are the primary if not sole employer for an area (hello steal and coal mining????) <BR/><BR/>Unions have their place, but much like HOA's their power needs to be wielded responsibly.Mama en Fuegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15266558148926370416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826765136724063244.post-51950087017286748822007-09-05T13:30:00.000-07:002007-09-05T13:30:00.000-07:00womanhonorthyself ... hi, welcome to my blog.

Washington only seems to listen during election cycles, and they listen to whoever has the loudest voices. All we want is for our legislators to make decisions based on what is best for our country and not what is best for getting them re-elected. Can you imagine if the House passed an unpopular law unanimously, then went out to the public and simply stated that they knew the law was not going to be popular, but after having fully debated the measure, they decided it was in the best interests of the United States and passed the law unanimously? I think the public would accept that as an answer.<BR/><BR/>david ... teachers unions are probably the worst. Both my parents were union members (United Federation of Teachers -- UFT) and both could not stand it. My father who had been a Teamster prior to teaching, could not believe that the UFT tried so hard to get into every facet of the member's lives. Lots of luck.<BR/><BR/>mike ... my daughter had to get a replacement social security card for my 6-yr old grandson. While they were waiting, an employee came out and spoke with her. Seems that the 6-yr old had been working in Florida and Colorado the past couple of years (or at least some people using his social security number had). What happens when he reaches 18 and tries to get a credit card? Will they deny him because these illegals ran up bad credit on his SSN?<BR/><BR/>terry ... I know what you meant. The thing is, the honest immigrants are already here legally or are awaiting their turns in their own countries. The fact that an immigrant violated our laws and entered the country illegally ... kind of makes them dishonest to begin with.Paul Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05436813932794112221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826765136724063244.post-39345459013282299462007-09-05T11:02:00.000-07:002007-09-05T11:02:00.000-07:00You are so right, again, Paul!

The matching of names and socials being confirmed by the SS Administration just makes good sense. Shouldn't this be about protecting identity and the laws we already have on the books? Why is it suddenly about picking on poor (dishonest) Mexicans?<BR/><BR/>(oh, I don't mean to imply that all Mexicans are dishonest in all their dealings. I just believe that using another person's social is not honest).Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206092873040143150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826765136724063244.post-43778653057172824442007-09-05T06:32:00.000-07:002007-09-05T06:32:00.000-07:00The local government in CA has no idea how this mo...The local government in CA has no idea how this move could harm everyone.
