No, they require the company to put money in a personal account for them every payday..The company pays it, the employee controls it
So you could invest your money in local firms? You can buy parts of local companies or loan them money with a rate of return directly. Many firms are corporations and can sell you shares, even if they are not traded on a market.
My point is that if you send your earned money off to a far off place to live and work for someone else, don't expect it to live and work locally until you bring it home or spend it in Florida, if you ever get it back. There is risk everywhere. I bet most people understand the workings and drivers of most local businesses better than they understand those in their mutual fund.
Unions only function to concentrate more wealth to the members, someone else pays for this concentration, that is the rest of us. Unions are pitted against us all by design, and we cannot all join, and I could afford the milk if we did.
really...there no decernable difference in the prices you pay at a non union grocery store as opposed to a union one. The market sets the price, the only difference is Safeway inc makes few less million, but our communities get a few million more.. I like that deal
what, are you the CEO of Safeway inc or something? No youre not, but you do live in the community...
