With Billions of hard working American dollars, the Employee Free Choice Act or (EFCA) is being pushed through Congress with a name tag of fair treatment & protection for union members of all walks of life.
In real identity, special-interest union lobbyists have not only taken away the Democracy of union members by ripping off their funding to use against them, they also lure in members to publicly sign a binding contract without seeing the "fine print". In just one notable issue, after 51% sign up, the remaining 49% of workers never get a choice and all doors are closed with threats of get back to work or else.
Jimmy Hoffa himself would roll over in his still un-disclosed grave over these mockery of 21st Century reforms taking place, as well as many American Company owners who would rather place all that funding into more productive measures like hiring more employees and allowing them to manage their own private health care among many other benefits.
Furthermore:
+When it comes to legitimate unions, there is no doubt that the (+) is for the benefit of all involved and leaving well enough alone is what works best for them.
-When issues overwhelm companies like Boeing with endless strikes that hinder production as well as paychecks for hard working American families, the (negative) times they are a chang'in and companies like this can benefit from adapting to the "sub-contractor amenity".
For example, Boeing initiated a great plan by adopting ShareValue Trust or (SVT). In real terms, it's an incentive plan that allows eligible participants to share in the success of their efforts to improve productivity and grow the business. The problem is that it didn't regard the real issue of the employee who is the hub of all activity.
With qualifications ranging from pushing the broom all the way to executive management, every position including in between has a politically correct label that says the employee needs a professional education of some sort just to apply. In all reality, this also says these individuals can manage their own finances, pay their own taxes, and find private health care as well as an investment firm for retirement instead of wasting time in the street with a sign that never seems to resolve the issue.
A new "sub-contractor amenity program" can be adapted by creating the issuance of an early site permit upon hiring. At the 90 day evaluation period, a sub-contractor's license permit can be applied for, and at the 180 day evaluation, a full sub-contractor's license can be secured when the employee has met adequate provisions and fulfilled legal obligations as a self employed individual.
Under the "sub-contractor amenity", the employee could get the same rate of pay except they get the full value cost the employer really has to pay for hiring that employee. If the employee decides to get health care and invest in their retirement then that's all up to them. However the real issue is that the employee gets the full value they work for and will have the extra cash flow to make real decisions that benefit their own families.
It would remove responsibility from overhead in a company so they could concentrate on building the company instead of seeing it get tore down by an issue that's usually all about the employee not getting the money or benefit they work for.
As for the little El Cochinos who think Forced Unionization is the way? This heading is the answer to all of your wildest dreams because if you look around, American companies are seeking real answers that will continue to keep workers working in this near recessionized economy and not have all it's workers in the street causing disruptions that do nothing but put them in the red always trying to catch up.
