Union Teachers Refuse To Work 25 Minutes More Per Day, So Town Fires Them!

Robert Owen, an industrialist and a socialist, ....

Couldn't make up his mind?

[Xavier_Onassis]

Robert Owen, an industrialist and a socialist, instituted voluntarily long before the unions successfully demanded it. By almost 110 years for US workers.

-=================================
At New Lanark, and only there, and only for a few years. The unions were the ones who brought the 40 hour week to this country.

The IDEA is not nearly as important as the implementation of the idea.

The first man who looked at a bird and said "I'd like to fly" was not as great an aviation pioneer as the Wright brothers, Montgolfier or Santos-Dumont.

I fail to see why an industrialist cannot be a Socialist. Go to Wal*Mart, and you will see nothing but mass produced items from a Communist country. Socialism is a system of government. Industrialism is a method of production. They are not mutually exclusive.

Once again XO you spout off about stuff you no little or nothing about and you get your ass handed to you. You liberals just make this stuff up as you go.

What, exactly have I made up, you moron?

I fail to see why an industrialist cannot be a Socialist.

As well as a capitalist.

And it seems that one man with one idea was more effective than your union heroes, because when he found resistance from the other owners he simply bought them out and then implemented the programs.
