What about the other N225 companies ??
NTT allowing free phone calls from public phones, Softbank allowing free texting, Banks allowing withdrawals without usual protocols...
Citizens and companies, they're all pitching in one way or the other.

Good for the Cheese-heads. Although I'm sure Michael Moore is now licking his chops drawing up a movie with a cheesy (no pun intended) movie title.

I guess that this will be bad news for US transpacific carriers when superior service carriers increase service capacity in a competing route...

Just until a little while ago, cities such as Chicago were suffering due to the negative images of unions striking against the hotel industry and industries avoiding Chicago due to outrageous union requirements for use of the McCormick Place, while cities with in right-to-work states such as Orlando were gaining popularity. Certainly, many people saw that without reform to union requirements at McCormick, Chicago was on its way to being Detroit.
It's probably a good thing that they fired the director at McCormick who entered into the union sweetheart deals and forced the union to withdraw some of the more ridiculous requirements, such as the need to have a union electrician to do medial tasks as simply plugging in appliances...
Either way, union fat-heads do not have any better images in the public eye compared to big business. And, the union image comes off way worse for mid-size businesses...

The time for big unions have come and gone. The parasite has been killing the host for years.

Too bad there's no equivalent to a "do not call list" for junk mail in Japan... including those to block the Watchtower and the Cove...

Interestingly, the senders of the DVD's placed non-existent organizations/addresses as return address, according to Japanese press.
Why the charade?

Reagan fired striking ATC union workers.
Perhaps AWOL Senators should be fired for deriliction of duty.
At least in filibusters, a politician would be present at the work-site... running away is just stupid.

Her desperate rant accusing another candidate of being a "crack-head" at a candidates' forum was very embarrasing. Plus, I'm not sure she's that popular of a figure in Illinois anyway. She was pretty much only there since Jesse Jackson and the African-American coalition desperately wanted a black candidate... and she was the best they could come up with...

Even parasites (unions) need to understand that they should not kill their hosts (employers) to survive in the long run.

Yes, but in most sense, hostilities with the Allied forces ceased on or about August 15 when Japan officially notified the Allied forces of its acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration through the Swiss on August 14th. The Soviets, on the other hand, shelled and bombed Shimushu from Cape Lopatka starting an offensive campaign starting on August 18.

Most of the Chisima/Kuriles were invaded by USSR after August 15, 1945... so wouldn't that be spoils AFTER the war?
