I have invested 2,000 dollars in PC Gold when it was suggessted at $0.83. It closed today at $0.99. I'm going to hold onto this stock probably till September 2011 because i have a strong feeling it will close at close to $2.00 a share.Mark from Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17135298560927933320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155359284717166338.post-81855421309126060572011-03-12T05:59:12.800-08:002011-03-12T05:59:12.800-08:00Obviously there are no Union member here.Obviously there are no Union member here.Todd Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103206507421959161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155359284717166338.post-46797541909824424702011-03-10T11:43:32.995-08:002011-03-10T11:43:32.995-08:00@Sloki

Without some bargaining ability, employees stand to lose. They don't necessarily, but they can. There are plenty of companies not dealing with unions, and those employees aren't mistreated. Hell, if I personally ran a business, I'd fight unions like crazy. But I'd also treat my employees well enough they wouldn't feel they needed them.<br /><br />In a sense, unions are like insurance.Erasmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818267579497344829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155359284717166338.post-21269201979974871882011-03-10T11:25:50.204-08:002011-03-10T11:25:50.204-08:00Hey, thanks for the follow, I'm in for more on...Hey, thanks for the follow, I'm in for more on yours.<br /><br />I was thinking about this last night; we don't really need Unions IF and only IF the companies play nice. If they keep the union regulations, if they continue to treat their employees well, etc. This is just a guy who's never been in a Union, but that's what it looks like for those of us outside and looking in.<br /><br />To answer your question, I'm a Clinical Administration major in college with a Clinical Sciences undergrad.

(most graded/prepared lessons at that time) They also had a 1/2 hour lunch break. (which is expected)<br /><br />So, their actual "in school" work time was roughly 6 hours. Some worked quite a bit outside of school, some not at all. Like I said, hard to quantify. This is why merit based pay is drastically needed. It adds incentive and rewards those teachers who put in the extra effort; Something sorely lacking from the current unionized model being used.Erasmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818267579497344829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155359284717166338.post-20369776026306536382011-03-10T10:02:14.132-08:002011-03-10T10:02:14.132-08:00Thanks for this.

I...I will have a post soon about this very subject. I can see both sides of the coin on this debate. Unions for private companies are very different than public sector unions (ie teachers, cops, firemen, government workers) and should be treated separately which the media is not on this issue. FDR had some good words about public sector unions. You should look them up on the internet. He was against them, but very very pro private sector unions.Oilfield Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527580828815598952noreply@blogger.com
