Quite right, Jet. If we had unions we wouldn't be able to force these kids to work 20 hours a day 7 days a week, we'd probably even have to do something to stop them dying in the mines (children are a renewable resource, why should we worry about their safety?). Why, we'd probably even have to pay them enough that they could actually eat! Rank communism of the worst order, I mean what, apart from lack of electricity, medicine, water, food, education, and money, is to stop them getting off their lazy asses and improving their own lot?
WTF do unions have to do with the starving millions in third world countries? Many big charities are like unions and I don't donate to them because I read their accounts and often 90% of my donation goes for the admin's fekin salaries. How would you use unions to save these kids? Unions are corrupt here, imagine what they'd be like over there. Get these people contraceptives and teach them how to farm. They often have kids so they can sell them. What's a union gonna do, ensure they get a good rate?

Unions bleed companies dry and IMO, union workers are some of the laziest gits on earth. Three union guys walk into a bar. The first guy says, you guys get the drinks, I'm on disabilty. The second guy says, it's not in my job description. The thrird guy says, not me, I've got seniority. So they all walk out sober, which is good as they are alkies, like most union members.

Give us a plan to save the starving masses, Dr Bob. There will always be rich and poor, happy and sad, lazy and industrious. I got a sob story childhood, too. So what. Life ain't fair. Go fix the UN or something.
