Maybe, after they have slaughtered the "servants of America", and liberated themselves from the yoke of an invader, they will come and liberate the people of America. Let`s be honest, the Iraqui resistance are a better bet than the democraps.

Just like the CC employees can quit at ANY time and go home, the company can fire them at ANY time - no reason is needed. Nobody ever said life was fair. It costs money to hire, train, and keep employees. Next, Halliburton moved to DB to get away from the grotesque over-taxation big companies have to deal with in the States.

A perfect example of why we need labor unions is Circuit City, who coldly fired managers and replaced them with new ones at a lower compensation level to save money. No other reason given---just whacked a bunch of people to increase their EPS. Your pals in the WH really helped Halliburton be successful, it certainly wasn't entirely because they were non union. And they said thanks so much to America by moving their HQ to Dubai, far away from the prying eyes of investigators. Modern day Archie Bunkers like you and your ridiculous trickle down theory make me sick. Why don't you fast forward yourself out of the dark ages? Stubain,

Halliburton is successful because they are non union.

Unions are here to push a nutty lib agenda – not to help workers.

Unions were useful when there were no fed or state safety laws. We have plenty of laws protecting workers now. When I was in a union I realized how lazy and worthless the union was. When I tried to help the company make more money and streamline processes, my union steward said that was not my job. Not help my company be more successful? Are you kidding me? I quit that day and started my own business.

Fair wage? Define fair wage…

And lastly… If the best you can do is min wage, you are too stupid to raise a family to begin with and should not reproduce.
