God REALLY doesn't like union busters

[fpb]

An enormous volcanic explosion has shut down the whole airspace over Britain and Ireland. Every air company in the world is going to lose money. But British Airways, unlike most other companies, have just wasted millions upon millions of pounds on a savage union-busting campaign disguised as a strike. And now they will find themselves further millions out of pocket, worse than most because they are based in Britain. As I said on another occasion: payback may be a bitch, but she tastes sweet as honey.

I saw that volcano on CNN at the gym this morning. And I suspect the unions over there are different than the ones here, because most of ours aren't worth the powder to blow them to hell.

Any trades union can go power mad. So can any bloc of employers. The point is not to use the State as a club in the service of either.

The problem over here is that a lot of them have evolved into protection for incompetent workers, which sucks.

It also bothers me that I called on the name of God, not really in vain, but rather in jest, just before I found myself facing real moral ugliness - see my three next posts - and found myself calling on Him in a much more serious way. I do think that macho managers and people who take advantage of the crisis to kick their own employees in the face deserve anything they can get, but I wish my expression had not been so light.
