Corporations post record earnings
A constant conservative charge against President Obama
is that he is inherently anti-business. However, businesses keep defying the
storyline by making larger and larger profits, rebounding nicely out of the
Great Recession.
In the third quarter of this year, “corporate earnings were $1.75 trillion, up 18.6% from a
year ago.” Corporations are currently making more as a percentage of the economy
than they ever have since such records were kept. But at the same time, wages as
a percentage of the economy are at an all-time low

Early Millwrights
Early Millwrights
The word "millwright" has long been used to describe the man who was marked by everything ingenious and skillful.
For several centuries in England and Scotland the millwright was recognized as a man with a knowledge of carpentry, blacksmithing and lathe work in addition to the fitter and erector.
He was the recognized representative of mechanical arts and was looked upon as the authority in all applications of winds and water, under whatever conditions they were to be used, as a motive power for the purpose of manufacture.
In other words, as the above definition would indicate,
he was the area engineer, a kind of jack of all trades who was equally comfortable at the lathe, the anvil or the carpenter's bench.
Thus, the millwright of the last several centuries was an itinerant engineer and mechanic of high reputation and recognized abilities.
He could handle the axe, the hammer and the plane with equal skill and precision.
He could turn, bore or forge with the ease and ability of one brought up in those trades.
He could set and cut in the furrows of a millstone with an accuracy equal to or superior to that of the miller himself.
In most instances, the millwright was a fair arithmetician, knew something of geometry, leveling and measurements, and often possessed a very competent knowledge of practical mathematics.
He could calculate the velocities, strength and power of machines; could draw in plans, construct buildings, conduits or watercources, in all the forms and under all the conditions required in his professional practice.
He could build bridges, cut canals and perform a variety of work now done by civil engineers.
In the early days of North America millwrights designed and constructed the mills where flour and grist were ground by water power.
Water was directed over hand-constructed wooden mill wheels to turn big wooden gears and generate power.
Millwrights executed every type of engineering operation in the construction of these mills.
The introduction of the steam engine, and the rapidity with which it created new trades, proved a heavy blow to the distinctive position of the millwrights,
by bringing into the field a new class of competitors in the form of turners, fitters, machine makers, and mechanical engineers.
Although there was an extension of the demand for millwork, it nevertheless lowered the profession of the millwright, and leveled it to a great degree with that of the ordinary mechanic.
It was originally the custom for the millwrights to have meetings for themselves in every shop.
These meetings usually included long discussions of practical science and the principles of construction which more often than not ended in a quarrel.
One benefit of these meetings was the imparting of knowledge, as young aspirants would frequently become excited by the illustrations and chalk diagrams by which each side supported their arguments.

Unions Pay Better
Unions Pay Better
It
always seems strange why anyone would chose to make less money,less
benefits,less insurance,less retirement,less and less. Just how dumb does it
take… Not to be able to realize the benefits of belong to a group that looks out
for you and your family
Union definition:
"A combination so formed, especially an alliance or confederation of
people, parties, or political entities for mutual interest or benefit"
"A combination so formed, especially an alliance or confederation of
people, parties, or political entities for mutual interest or benefit"
Every doctor,every lawyer,every teacher,every realtor,every police
officer, every professional baseball payer,every professional football
player,every professional basketball player,every professional umpire,every
dentist belongs to a organization or association to that offers help and support
to that individual or group. Our country is full of professional associations
that take dues form their members.
But if a worker joins a group to help themselves.
That person becomes a low life dirty dog. This starts with industry
and people who are ignorant of Unions and of the real work place.
Jobs are moved over seas to the cheapest labor cost and less
government control….. Does that mean that we who work with our hands,our brains
and our hearts have to make third world wages? Does this mean that we have to
work in a unsafe environment? Do we have to sacrifice our health, our bodies and
our loved ones?
There is always someone who will work cheaper, with less safety and
less concern about our environment.
Just look at big business….. The owners of mines,factories and
companies who are fined or arrested each year for pollution,safety
violations,harassment,lying,endangering their employees.
The Ceo’s that steal hundreds of millions of dollars from their
companies and stock holders. If you think Unions are corrupted? You hand better
take a good look at big business. The IRS does?
Today we need organization of Labor more than ever.
Unions …. "The people who brought you the weekends"

Unions:
Strip away all the good Unions have done for America since its earliest days,
and you would see an ugly picture. The truth about the value of Unions in
America is found in our history. Don't believe the lies about Unions. Be
deligent and responsible enough to learn the facts about all the good Unions
have done for all American's not just for their members.

Woods Group
Woods Group is looking for Union Millwrights for FUTURE
JOBS.
I was asked
to send this out to my Union Brothers and Sisters.
I do not
know any details..
For Union Millwright travelers that are union members in
good standing, please send them to this website - http://woodgroup.applicantstack.com/x/detail/a2b54ahifg8y
The application lists all the questions we will review, then we’ll
be in touch with each one.

Unions Matter
More importantly,
unions
matter because who else will speak on behalf of workers? The Chamber of Commerce
speaks for the interests of business and AARP speaks for the interests of the
elderly, but who speaks for workers everywhere? Unions do. If workers are to
have a share in the future prosperity of this country, they need unions to
advance their issues. Otherwise, the voices of corporations, the rich and the
well connected will drown out the voices of average American
workers

In order for unions to remain
strong, we must remain united at the ballot box.

Nations Inequality
If we want to do
something about this nation's inequality, if we want to rebuild the middle class
and if we want to train the greatest work force the world has ever seen, we need
unions.

Thursday’s crowd was particularly receptive as Mr. Romney said he would pursue right-to-work laws and forbid unions from collecting dues that could be used for political purposes.

“If I become president of the United States, I will curb the practice we have in this country of giving union bosses an unfair advantage in contracting,” Mr. Romney said. “One of the first things that I will do – actually on Day One- is I will end the government’s favoritism towards unions in contracting on federal projects.” The audience responded with a standing ovation."Millwright Ron
