@lbss1238062. I’ll tell you what I’ve told other people. Ignore frictionRx9. He’s a stupid little boy loser that gets supported by his parents because nobody will hire him because he’s too stupid to get a job so he spends his days watching Fox “News” and posting his crap on TYT. It’s easy to tell friction watches Fox because he like them can’t backup what they say with facts so he resorts to namecalling, lies and racism.
@frictionRx9 shut up friction no one here’s listening to you
FILTHY UNION SCUM!
DIEBOLD election machines PREDICT OBAMA2012……just like they did for Mr BUSH DID IT
bla bla bla…meanwhile, the FORCED TO PAY THE INSURANCE CORPS or get a fine “health care” bill is coming..woo hoo
Ya I know, the RepubliCONS did that one too. morons
In reality, unions standing up for pay means bigger cuts for non-union workers at hospitals. Nurses, for instance have unions so their pay stays the same but everyone else in the hospital is forced to take a bigger pay and hour cut than already mandated. I’m all for fighting against CEO payouts but the hospitals are providing enormous amounts of uncompensated care, you can’t keep pay stable while providing services for free.
good for them. hope patients don’t suffer too long, and the other side backs down quick. scoff @ “necessary to remain competitive” – yeah, so is money to pay bills, feed your family, make progress in life in living condition, save, and lead a happy, well rested life as a citizen. once you’re not being jerked around every 6 months going “oh god what do i do” you can be competitive in the workforce, and make decisions like taking a better job, or italian suit yourself up to impress investors lol
who else is intrigued by this 3d map of his?

Better to buy imported products that most likely was produced by child labour. Wake Up.

@pirucreek Go do all your shopping at the dollar store. Food, clothes, and just about everything you need.
GEET GEET GEET
@pirucreek If you dont want to support unions with your money why dont you move to India? Then everything about you could be cheap not just your clothes
I wish I could say your thief like mentality were a shock or part of the fringe… Unfortunately theres alot of scumbags like you out there who think they are entitled to dirt cheap labor.
@FamedRolemodel His no longer in New York, still on msnbc though
@pirucreek you are probably a wealthy twat who doesn’t live in the real world and can live off mommy and daddy your entire life, i can understand why you would think like that. People of your class have no compassion or mercy for every day workers. you are the lowest form of life.
@pirucreek
You can solve your problem by moving to Russia.
I hear they love to crush any thought of workers’ rights!
CEO of a hospital? You see, that’s your problem right there
@pirucreek More lies. This ideo that people somehow don’t work is a fascist idea to justify government and corporations working to make wage labour practically slavery. shut the fuck up, you corporate fascist.
I want the right to buy products from non-union shops. Am I forced to pay 3 times the cost to pay for the union losers that dont work.
Why don’t the workers leave and work somewhere else. Do the people have the right to buy services from companies that are non-union. I prefer never to buy products that are from union shops.
Way to go California…lead the way to crush these greedy bastards in their tracks!! Proud of my peeps in Cally!!
Now that’s what I call a real union!! NUHW!!
This is a clear sign that Sarah Palin WILL be our next President in 2012! President Palin will truly serve the people and be their GREATEST CHAMPION and President! Everybody rich, middle class and poor will prosper under the great and almighty rule of President Palin!
I was raised in Salinas. In fact, I was born at that exact hospital! I am so proud of those workers!
I love how this hospital wanted to cut staff and the level of attention each patient gets, because they say they need to save money, but then they turn around and consistently overpay their CEO and “consultants” tens of millions of dollars.
Kind of tells you where their priorities are.
Things are definitely starting to change.
