text: I am no fan of unions but increasingly the unrelenting focus on wringing every last cent out of a company in the name of "shareholder value" is sickening.
  
  Companies used to value loyalty, image and the people they existed to serve but now do nothing with any foresight or creativity. The answer to any bad quarter is to "reduce headcount" or relocate to a right to work state or Mexico. 
  
  The gutting of the middle class is due to the unrelenting greed of the 1%'ers and it will one day haunt the upper crust like it did in 1917 
  Russia.
