Most of the time I side with private companies as well, I work for a non-unionized company and wouldn't support a union for it, but things are becoming way too one-sided. We can't rely on the government to help even the scale because private companies fund their campaigns and essentially run this country.
It seems as though there's nothing helping the average worker out anymore and that we should just have to trust the companies we work for...it's a little unsettling watching one side win all the time.
What's wrong with expecting average workers to help themselves? Go back to school, get a degree and you become more employable. Don't like the conditions of the company you're working for? Go work elsewhere, or start your own business.
Seems to me people are more about making excuses and blaming others for their failures than they are about taking charge and being responsible for their own lives.
FWIW, I don't like seeing American businesses moving over-seas either, but I don't blame them for my failures. I also understand it's a smart business decision.
Part of our problem is we've become too reliant on the government to provide for us when ultimately it's up to us to provide a good living for ourselves and our families.
