I am so sick of hearing how Bargaining Unions are bad. How they destroy businesses, are too expensive to deal with. Blah Blah Blah
The very same companies that complain and get the Republicans to do their bidding to attempt to make the US Salve Labor again, do business with Unions Globally and make money.
Every day, Every Week, Every year. They provide silly jobs, the likes of which we do not have here in this country, provide benefits they claim will bankrupt them is they have to provide them here, like living wages and reasonable time off for family matters.
And More..............
The Multinational Companies provide a minimum of 4 weeks of vacation and 25 YES 25 Bank Holidays in EMEA (Europe Middle East Asia)
Besides the 4 weeks off in August, Yes most of Europe shuts down in August, most still get at least a week of personal time, and a week of Holiday time. totaling 6 weeks vacation!!!
We get 2 weeks and 9 Bank Holidays. IF we are corporate,, retail, one week average.
In Canada, if you have a baby:
The qualifying period is the shorter of:
* the 52 week-period immediately before the start date of a claim, or
* the period since the start of a previous EI claim if that claim had started during the 52 week-period
France 16 weeks and for the third child 26 weeks.
UK:
Women are entitled to 26 weeks off, regardless of how long they have worked for their employer. Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) is paid for 26 weeks
Germany,
German mothers receive employment protection throughout pregnancy, and for 4 months after birth. You are expected to provide written notice of the pregnancy to your employer as early as possible, but because your job is protected this works in your favour. Actual maternity leave is 6 weeks before the birth, and 8 weeks after at full pay. I’m not sure what happens if the baby goes overdue, though. In the case of multiple births, mothers can take 12 weeks after. Privately insured and self-employed women receive maternity pay, but a lower, capped amount.
In addition to maternity leave, parents can take up to three years parental leave, or Elternzeit. This leave is unpaid, and may be taken by either parent. Adoptive parents are also eligible for parental leave, and may take 3 years off from the date of adoption.
We get 6 weeks
So do you think IBM, and GE are going to shut their overseas operations because France, the UK and Germany are governed by Unions? Hell No
do you think Chaney enterprises will retreat from Dubai? Because the Emirates demand that white collar workers MUST be given air line tickets?
Speaking on the problem, the Director of Disputes Department in the Ministry of Labour, Mona Al Raesi, clarified that workers posses the right to demand air tickets according to the contract they had entered into with the sponsor.
All these benefits fought and won by Unions
Come on how many days in a row will hte American Public fall for this shit?
Unions don't bust companies, CEO's do
