Not one labor leader was invited to those
meetings with the Chinese leader and his entourage.

What exactly is the message?

2. The message is simple.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-11 06:56 AM by RandomThoughts
The more someone learns, the more they become what they are.

The sides separate with simple knowledge, nobody has to do it, the learning does that on its own.

Although I don't agree with saying what will happen to sheeps or goats, it is my thought that it is light and truth that separates people based on their hearts.

Maybe unions are bad, maybe unions are good, but the polarizations when people learn and are seen, occur because of who they are, not by an action done to them.



Maybe one side will hit bottom, or the other side will, and they will start to change. :shrug:

The opposites have luxury as their defense, if they didn't deserve it why do they have it. So they lean on that concept.

Also why I posts, since I could sell concepts, but seems best to try and share them.

There are two concepts, you make a deal, then hold someone to it. Or you show what is right and see what people do about that. I think there is much learning by not using coercion.

For instance if I made people pay me beer and travel money, what would I learn about them?



Side note, that is in the spiritual, the taking, and not paying of beer and travel money in the material due to me, is what people are doing to themselves. Nobody has explained why it is not due, nor why it should not be paid, nor has anyone argued against the stance taken that got some to think on concepts of blacklisting.


And if you think drinking is a sin, you are an idiot.

Big Corpo wants to pay you shit wages, work you long hours & fire you ASAP, so they can get an even cheaper "you"...and there is very little that YOU do, that they cannot buy for a LOT less overseas.

I wish people would start to look at the "Economic Think Tanks" our lawmakers depend on for Economic Reports and Free Trade Negotiators. The American people would be in a panic if the found out Foreign Nationals and Foreign Corporations were writing the Laws our Lawmakers pass in Congress. Yet no one even raises an eyebrow when an Economic Think Tank chock full of Foreign Dignitaries and Foreign Corporations goes and negotiates Free Trade deals supposedly on America's behalf

Scroll down and take a look at the board of directors of 1 of America's leading Free Trade Negotiators

see if you can count the number of conflicts of interest

5. The Chinese don't really do train unionism.
Or rather, they have numerous large and rich trade unions, but they tend to represent the government rather than their members - the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions refuses to admit the All-China Federation of Trade Unions because they don't class it as a free trade union.

Kind of ironic for a nominally-socialist country...
