    And it's probably 46 gallons per POUND of blueberries, which would put it in line with a lot of other fruit.

        So, Infowars is reporting that the UCFW stated that the Wal-mart shutdowns due to "plumbing", or at least one of them, are actually because of labour issues. http://www.infowars.com/mysterious-w...abor-activism/

        For those that require an "approved news source": http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/20/bu...oard.html?_r=0

        Welcome to employment at will, and its slippery slope. Wal-mart doesn't sign union contracts, so there isn't much you can really do. It's amazing how these complainers will still work there, too.

          Isn't NLRB just an arm of ALEC at this point?

            Minnesota is an at-will state and one of the most labor-friendly states. I don't see a problem with it. I thought you'd be all for this kind of thing. You know, deregulation and everything.

              Does Minnesota recognize the Taft-Hartley Act? That's one reason businesses are moving over to Wisconsin.

                  Taft-Hartley placed restrictions on union power. Flag probably meant to get a case of the vapors over the NLR/Wagner Act.

                    No, I meant the Taft-Hartley Act. The act that does not require an employee to join a union. Especially necessary for the public sector. Want to require that privately? Your prerogative.

                              I like a fair amount of Pat's ideas. But he buried in the 'the US is only in decline because you didn't listen to me' syndrome. That is to say most of the cited maladies facing the US are largely unavoidable long term structural issues (i.e., the rise of China) and not a matter of trade choices.

                                One of his more sane articles. He's right about the effect on free trade and calling out both parties for not questioning it more. I'm not opposed to free trade personally. I think it can do a lot of good. However, you HAVE to focus on USA jobs being created vs jobs being lost and frankly I'm not convinced we're a net positive in that regard for a lot these deals. I don't give a rat's arse if we can get 50 cents off of our Nike sneakers because they're now being made in Vietnam. That's not a worthwhile tradoff IMHO.
