unions + strikes...M$M presents strikes as harming the people

[bobbieinok]

there's a pilot, mechanic, flight attendant strike.......24/7 report on how the traveling public is inconvenienced (ie = 'harmed')

remember the UPS strike?.....all the stories were about stuff wasn't getting delivered and people were being hurt

M$M portrays strikes as harming me and you.....rarely discusses the issues the workers have

[Sanity Claws]

1. Agree

What about today's story about the UAW giving concessions on their health benefits? The corporate media is talking about how expensive the health benefits are and how the cost is making GM non-competitive with Japanese manufacturers. What they're omitting is that the Japanese government takes care of health benefits and the employers do not have to provide it.
We need universal health care to be competitive.

2. The US is going to heck in a handbasket.

Pretty soon we'll all be slaves and won't get paid at all. We're not that far away from the slave scenario now...
