Do you really think they'd try this shit if there was a well-organized, fighting working class? No way. They only do it because they think they can get away with it.

Maybe they're betting they can get away with paying a terrible salary to people that have a hard time finding a job due to their disability. It's a business model that's worked well at Goodwill

We're talking about compensation in this comment thread. Welcome.

While you're at it, ditch this "high deductible" scam and get some real health insurance

While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser.

There is if it's got an embedded microprocessor for managing your rights!

It's much more than just "a cut"

The contract Hostess wants to impose on BCTGM workers includes:

        -- An immediate 8 percent wage cut.

        -- Shifting 20 percent more of health care costs onto the workers (for some workers, this would mean an increased cost of $240 a month for medical insurance).

        -- Eliminating retiree Medigap insurance, which covers gaps in Medicare.

        -- Eliminating Pension Supplement to pay health and funeral costs.

        -- Closing an undisclosed 10 to 12 plants.

        -- Eliminating the eight-hour day, which would mean no time-and-a-half pay after eight hours per day.

In addition, the company illegally froze pension contributions mandated under the contract for all of 2012, in violation of federal law. This is still being contested before the National Labor Relations Board.

That's your stupid fucking opinion, but here's the facts:

"The study by Stanford Law School and New York University's School of Law calls for a re-evaluation of the practice, saying the number of "high-level" targets killed as a percentage of total casualties is extremely low -- about 2%."

Wikipedia claims he has both German and Finnish citizenship
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom

"Megaupload's Kim Dotcom, a willfully tacky fat guy with a baby face and a vanity license plate that says "guilty," has styled himself as a kind of comic villain, a composite of everything people love to hate. He effectively serves as empire's face of piracy: an overweight nouveau-riche wannabe hacker who finally gets his comeuppance through the macho justice of Uncle Sam. It's so easy to hate Kim Dotcom that you almost forget that the US convinced the New Zealand government to send in an assault brigade, bereft of a valid warrant but outfitted with automatic weapons and helicopters, to arrest a Finnish citizen at the demand of Hollywood studios. If Kim Dotcom didn't exist, the FBI, with the help of the MPAA, would have invented him."

Political activists love to get together and drink and argue, in my experience

I use software to create paychecks. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
