Unions did not create..

Unions did not create:

--Weekends

--8-hour work days

--A "living wage" (doubled worker's pay from $2.34/hr to $5/hr)

--Five-day, 40-hour work weeks

Henry Ford did in 1926 to attract better workers from his competitors for his automobile plant. Capitalism & competition creates higher wages & better working conditions.

Henry Ford was also an early supporter of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, a supporter of the KKK, and a notorious anti-Semite and anti-Catholic.

But keep reading that Wikipedia for more history memes. After you're riffed maybe you can read an actual book.

I bet a few Filipinos would disagree with that comment.

Henry Ford also spied on all of his workers and fired people for non-work related behaviors. I'm sure he would've fired most of Verizon mgmt.

People having common sense would've also resulted in a similar outcome.

After being f---ed over for enough of a period of time, they would realize why the f--- am I doing this job and act accordingly. There by evolving instead of relying on entitlements.

Exactly. And anyone who has taken any type of business class knows this. So I guess that explains why none of the union slackjawed monkeys understand it. Their union boss told them he created the 8 hour workday and holidays while he was ramming the hard dry one up him so he believed it. The union leaders would never lie right??? Once again, just goes to show how ignorant and uninformed the union population is.
