The article states that the southern japanese factory worker was offered to
join the union bringing wages on par to its northern American worker but
they opted to stay bare foot and po' for japanese pennies. How STUPID can
people be! If they had simply joined the union they would be getting the
same exact pay and benefits as the northern worker living a higher standard
of life and there would have been an even playing field for all manufactures
from the start. For years it has been said that the Japanese choose the
southern worker simply to take advantage of there ignorance. I guess the
article proves they were right about that one. Now the northern worker will
be forced to be dragged down to the level of pay of the southern worker. Its
a simple question of is everyone on board to make a lot of money or will a
segment of the community just drag others down to make a lesser amount of
money???
