Rant Over!!!

Help me out here, friends...I've been away from TM for a long while but know full well they haven't changed. Unless they bought forklifts or built loading docks at every store people are still being injured by bad policy. Please post a comment here and expose this bad business plan for what it is...an unethical practice of sweeping all these injuries under the rug just to save investors a few cents on their dividend checks. I mean, come on now, can their really be so many coincidental preexisting conditions for the same corporation? These people are being injured due to the nature of the business and the fact that the investors are not in the decision making loop at the corporate level so are unaware of the plight of the very employees that do their 'grunt' work for them.
Wow, was I off by a mile in advising everyone to join a union. Seems they are ineffective except at collecting union dues. The AFL-CIO is being more assertive lately at trying to find new members, although they can't keep their old ones any more. Well, in their style of union they negotiated pay and benefits up over a ceiling that no corporation could afford any longer, so they were asked for so many concessions that they became ineffective at the bargaining table....nothing left to trade. In other words a dinosaur from another era. The answer to all this would be for all citizens of the United States to become actively and intimately involved n our political process and really change it to represent the people, not the moneyed interests. More digression to follow. Stay tuned. Or not.
One last thing...to those who think I'm mad, I'm not...it was just great to get a break. Call me, e-mail me, whatever. Let's mend fences.

We should be protesting the oil companies. By the way, what is Tuesday Morning? I have never seen one. Walmart.

Tuesday Morning is a purveyor of supposed upscale overstock...stuff from Linens And Things, Bed Bath And Beyond, K-Mart (upscale?), but mainly from factories in China that were commissioned to manufacture stuff for Tuesday Morning...in other words, just another bullshit retailer ripping off the public!! (And evidently it's own employees if you read all the blogs and comments). And why the added Walmart to your comment? Have you had the wonderful experience of Walmart close up?

It is all the same thing. Big retail, whether it is Tuesday Morning, Walmart or Mobil oil. It is to make as big a profit you can without consideration to the people who makes it happen. It is all about profits and stock margins.
