Think it's part of the same genius plans that have NASDAQ down almost 350 points today?

Don't scare me like that!!

SHAME on John Deere for doing this to break a union!! When I buy a plane, I will get some other brand of tractor to move it in and out of the hangar. This saddens me because I've always liked John Deere tractors !! Union busting is NOT OK in my book

scary....all over!! There are no more " gold watches" after 30 yrs., or even retirements anymore. As of 2 days ago, let's look at BOEING. Workers need increases in their pay etc., but when workers get greedy , and don't accept workable contracts offered by their employer, they( strikers), just make it harder for all of the bussinesses, unions, and workers.-good luck to all of us union workers. We are all on a slow death march, economically speaking. Yes, as of late, just being employed is a nerve- whacking, nail- biting experience daily. When can i win the lottery ???

You can thank Ronald Reagan for weakening the labor movement

Workers' rights have been badly eroded by the Republican Party and its despicable anti worker leadership.

I agree with the above poster that being employed has been a nerve wracking, nail biting experience. I've experienced that myself, and this cries out for leadership in our nation that will restore the rights of workers and strengthen the union movement.

Most of all I agree with her question, when can I win the lottery!!!????

To each his own I guess. I was ecstatic, when Reagen Fired all the
Air Traffic Controllers! That was a real eye opener for me, but
apparently the Unions were too stupid to see the message! If you
can fire and replace such a group of highly skilled people, then
surely just about anybody in the labour sector is easily replaceable!
