I remember when that happened. It happened not too recently for people working at SBC when the Govt. allowed them to re-unite with ATT. ATT actually was always struggling but they still had their Parent Company to get money from. As soon as they had the chance to get rid of SBC they jumped up, changed Giants Stadium's name once again to ATT and now lots of good jobs are in India.
I heard some that happens with everything Rupert Murdoch touches too. Haven't heard much about how that buyout went, maybe he got compassionate all of the sudden but I doubt it.
Competition creates jobs and stops organizations like the League from shutting down Broadway.
I do believe this should have been fair but I cannot ignore that it was the League who threatened the Lock-out and enforced new work rules.
At least I hope most agree that they could have at least limited the changes to what the Union agreed they would change only rather then the whole package. If they didn't threaten the Union the Holiday Season would have gone just fine and any strike would have been put off until the Spring.
Once the lock-out was not only threatened but it was published in the Press, the Union had only two choices.
They are doing what they have to do not what they want to do.
It should though upset your sense of Financial know how Mr. Roxy to see these frivolous lawsuits going on in Court. Talk about throwing your money away.
I have read of Businessmen who rather give all their money to Lawyers rather than pay taxes. They complain about how the Govt. spends their money and then give it to Lawyers? The bill is usually the same and does a whole lot less than it would going to the Govt. Defys logic to me.
The money these Corporations are wasting on Lawyers could have bought them a two year Contract instead and they would come out the same. No instead let's shut down Broadway the year before an Election that we know will go to the Democrats.
John Edwards has the best chance right now and if and when he wins, things will change drastically. What businessman would purposely blow his last chance to get even richer by going up against the strongest Union in town with only $20?
Save your money, make sound investments. The whole market is going to change drastically. At least the Dems will buy us out of fiscal poverty but the price the Rich will have to pay is going to hurt as most borrowing does. Remember Haliburton, who ate up a good chunk of your tax dollars. just moved their assets to Dubai. They won't be paying US Taxes anytime soon. Good old American Business people. Makes me ill just thinking about it.
Right now, the League needs to get some sound business people before they ruin Broadways reputation
