Benefiting from a death ? Union "representative" = pigdog

[wave rider]

The originally posted article mentioned barriers and security, others do not.

Chanting "push the doors in," the crowd pressed against the glass as the clock ticked down to the 5 a.m. opening.

Sensing catastrophe, nervous employees formed a human chain inside the entrance to slow down the mass of shoppers.

It didn't work.

The mob barreled in and overwhelmed workers.

While unions have sometimes received deserved criticism for unlawful dealings, many forget what unions have brought to the American workplace.

• 40 hour work week, it used to be 72
  
• Overtime/holiday pay
  
• Paid sick leave
  
• Paid vacations
  
• Health insurance
  
• Better wages
  
• Improved worker safety
  
• Work rules in general, not just at the whim of the employer
  
• Lunch and rest breaks
  

And these are just a few. The unions to which I have belonged have been very beneficial to my workplace.
