Yup, I remember about Standard Oil so it was in history book.
Do you remember about model 500 telephone that at&t came to home to install so there was no telephone socket until 1970's.
I disagree. Blue-collar workers have nothing to do with bankruptcy. CEOs failed to do their jobs as they knew that its products were getting less popular because they were not good for health and more people are aware of their healths nowsdays than before. They failed to make new products that would be healthy for customers. Blue-collar people only did their jobs as instructed. CEOs knew that the business was going down and yet they gave themselves a BIG raise. WTF? Again, they expect bonuses as it will close down soon. I think that they still owe retirees 160 millions dollars.
Depends on how many years of service. They don't pay everyone $20/hr. BTW, for long-time workers, $20/hr with good benefits is very reasonable due to the high cost of living! Where the hell have you been ?
But everybody knew what we did, and the higher up decided to start drug testing at hiring, but since we are already working there they couldn't drug test us. So they just started coming up with other reasons to fire us all. Now it usually takes about a year to train a press operator, I got my press after 6 months, but they gave it to me probably a little early. So what ended up happening is they fired all the operators and made people that had only been there a couple months operators. Meanwhile they were also hiring mexicans that didn't speak English so you couldn't even train them. They went from printing 40K shirts a shift to 5K. They couldn't fill their contracts and went out of business. I did a friggin happy dance like you wouldn't believe when I heard the news.
I concur. I suspect that Txgolfer is a CEO since he always speaks for other CEOs.
And also he's obviously anti-union.
I have this feeling that the brass thinks that's what's involved but it's probably a lot more involved than that. But that's the mentality of management.
I used to run press at a screen printing factory. It was Salem Sportswear when I started, Fruit of the Loom bought them not long after, took about a year for things to start changing, then they only lasted for a bout a year that. See the "talent" figured all you had to do was a tshirt on the press, take it off, that monkeys could do it. Now everybody that worked there, we were all raving pot heads, smoked on our breaks and lunches lol but we got stuff done
Bad Bad management. Blaming workers just doesn't make any sense.
