- Kudos! to Working Girl Ariana Leigh...who never gets a day off.
- Great job, Wisconsin, #WiUnion! Getting ready to celebrate THEIR version of Labor Day!
- The United States Post Office is nearing collapse this winter, without Congressional intervention.
Why, you ask? Well, no one uses stamps very much anymore, that's understandable. But underlying that lack of revenue is the REAL problem: Labor Unions have garroted the USPS's ability to be competitive. The New York Times...
The post office’s problems stem from one hard reality: it is being squeezed on both revenue and costs.
As any computer user knows, the Internet revolution has led to people and businesses sending far less conventional mail.
At the same time, decades of contractual promises made to unionized workers, including no-layoff clauses, are increasing the post office’s costs. Labor represents 80 percent of the agency’s expenses, compared with 53 percent at United Parcel Service and 32 percent at FedEx, its two biggest private competitors. Postal workers also receive more generous health benefits than most other federal employees.
Here's hoping that Congress will allow this monopolized Postal unit to fail, and re-organize without involving Labor Unions. A pipe dream, I know, but Labor Unions have done nothing to save jobs in any industry they infest; instead, their primary reason for existence is to bleed a company dry for everything it can provide, even past the point of the Company's own survival. The Company is forced to bankruptcy or reorganization, or, as we see happening every day, relocation of capital and manufacturing facilities offshore, to protect the shareholders from unions.
Biologically speaking, a parasite is only successful as a viable species if it can feed off but not kill off it's prey. Once the host is dead and gone, the parasite dies as well. Then the cycle repeats: host species re-populate, parasites surge to infect, followed by the host species' population dropping off again, followed by...well, you've seen the charts.
The Unions are parasites on American businesses. Too much capital taken from the host, the host dies; the parasite dies as well.
Let's let the host, the United States Postal Service, die. The parasites will have to take jobs at FedEx or UPS (if they are good enough to qualify), sans the foul Union demands and protections; they will still earn decent wages and benefits, just not excessive enough to kill the host. And they can be FIRED! if they don't perform as expected.
C'mon, leftists, you believe in evolution. Let's allow some nice natural selection to take place here.
Let the weak and dying host go ahead and croak.
