What Fast Food Workers and Teachers Have in Common: Rich Hoffman and Matt Clark talk about it on WAAM Radio
Matt Clark had me on his WAAM radio show in Ann Arbor, Michigan to discuss the inflated wages fast-food workers have been demanding as unions are attempting to infect the food service industry with communist oriented mediocrity. During our conversation we covered some of my personal stories and feelings about how value has been robbed from all fields of endeavor due to the subtle influence of communism through labor unions, and how that has lowered the performance level of productivity in America. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW MY THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER IN GREATER DETAIL. As our discussion evolved we discussed public school teachers and how they are like the ridiculous fast-food worker in thinking they are worth a lot more money than they really are just because of their collective-bargaining agreements. Watch and listen to the interview for yourself:
What has been robbed from the fast food industry, the teaching profession, and every endeavor where unions’ public and private have taken root is the value of value. Value has been stolen from the American worker through these collective bargaining agreements, the belief that just because the ignorant masses believe something, that they can assert a value to it. Obviously, they can not. When people like Matt and I show outrage at the behavior, it is because we see that it is value for an endeavor that has been lost in the process of teaching, building cars, or simply making hamburgers as mediocre workers inspired to achieve a “living wage” through collective enterprise no longer reach for the stars, dream of becoming more than they are, or constantly invent new and better ways of doing things because they are complacent.
American industry was the best in the world because it offered the prospect of profit, even at the lowest level job—as effort and value drove the market. Through the typical progressive, through the unions, the government workers, and all forms of collectivism from the private union steward to the college fraternity, it is the concept of “fitting in” to a group that is destroying American ingenuity, and thus, destroying the American worker. All participants in such processes understand the concept of collectivism and they sense there is something wrong with it, yet they continue to keep their mouths shut because they know they must do so to reap the benefits of group affiliation. Groups do not like individuals who speak out, because there is comfort in silence, and under the communist like methods of the labor unions, there is pay through collective bargaining.
That mentality is attempting to migrate into the fast-food industry out of sheer desperation. Like a cancerous leech, labor unions have destroyed American manufacturing, all government unions, and a good portion of the food distribution network. They need fresh blood to keep their influence migrating off the used carcasses of their members, so they are targeting restaurants. The cost is a loss of value from the industry that is there to some degree in individual pockets where exceptional workers can still make a difference in some fast food stores, and rise to the top to eventually run some of those establishments. But the threat of a labor union moving in to build a nation of more complacent workers happy to make $15 an hour for doing a job that is only valued under $10 is a threat not only to cheap and easy food, but the value of capitalism that is implanted in every free-standing restaurant in America.
Once workers become unionized they are forever tainted by the effects of collectivism, and are more or less ruined for life. The union employee is a typical individual that has been cannibalized for the greater good, and yielded all their hopes and dreams to the value of the worst of their group affiliation. Unions are anti-America, anti-capitalism, and anti-productive. They are no good for anybody. But worse than anything they are looters of value as they not only rob individuals of their merit, but steal value from every task they are affiliated with. And for that reason, they are agents of destruction upon a wasteland that was once known as the most productive country on the planet—now consumed with the parasite named “collective-bargaining.”
