This has nothing to do with union contracts - those contracts can be re-negotiated based on current and projected events, for example - if paying the contracted wages in the future will bankrupt the company.

This event relates to a past promise (contract), not a future promise or contract. Geez, try thinking before posting liberal garbage.

The bottomline is this, the federal government knowingly and deliberately whiped up anger and hate directed at a specific yet easily expanded group, based on the actions sanctioned by the very same government. The official state media dutifully follows along, ratcheting up the hate-filled, hysterical class warfare. The ignorant masses grab their pitchforks and torches. The targets are threatened with bodily harm and death. Thugs show up at their houses to intimidate them. The legislature passes punitive legislation to persecute individuals of the target group. The justice department threatens to release names and addresses, so the thugs can plan their days. Public officials blame the victims of this hate fest.

Sounds like the beginning of Kristallnacht to me. All we need are some shattered windows.

These people are disgusting and we all are being stupid for not doing more to prevent the take over of America.

A variety of assinine contracts have been the demise of many companies. Somebody asleep at the tiller or deranged enough to gamble everything that the contract can be busted if need be. Some contracts should never be signed.

I think you might come across as a bit hard on cobra bill this time, CDC.

Try re-reading the above as:

This has nothing to do with salary contracts - those contracts can be re-negotiated based on current and projected events, for example - if paying the contracted bonuses in the future will bankrupt the company....

Or maybe there really is a divine difference between honoring agreements made to the middleclass as opposed to the upper class.
As observed in:
Leona Helmsley, the cutthroat hotel magnate whose title as the “queen of mean” was sealed during a tax evasion case in which she was quoted as snarling “only little people pay taxes,”

It is true that labor contracts are often re-negotiated every three years while middle management (you?) may reach a compensation agreement one time up front, closer to a yearly basis or even less. Both can either walk out the door or be replaced anytime unless their contract reads otherwise. I can see your point, if that is more along the lines of what you meant, since labor normally holds to extended time periods.

I still say, a deal is a deal, high or low on the totem pole. Nobody should have to work under the guise of false compensation pretenses.

Wes - it's literally impossible to be to hard on Cobra(space/no Cobra)Bill - he's a bleeding heart liberal and basically they all have to be put down - hard. By the way, it's your manby-bamby, get the words right - be kind, be gentle attitude that got us into this mess - you sound like McCain today and we all know - he lost, we lost. You need to get mad and get with the program - it starts with hard ball.

I also believe that "a deal is a deal", especially in this case, but once a tipping point has been reached, contracts either are re-negotiated or, in the case of the working man, no one ends up with a job at all.
