Support the Cosmopolitan as much as you can

Sa what? Whoa! Do your company's shareholders know about this? This is an outrage. Why on earth should you be entitled to company-paid healthcare? You must be one of those "takers" I keep hearing about. Why do you hate Capitalism, Hoops?

When it comes right down to it, given the choice to support a German Bank, or an American Dishwasher, the choice is clear - at least to me.

If the Cosmopolitan workers are unhappy with their pay and benefits, they should quit and go work for a company where they would be happy. If they find their skills don't demand more pay and benefits, then they should work to improve their skills....or do what I did many years ago..quit your job, start a small business and live small for awhile. May I suggest that those who really care about the Cosmo workers should triple tip those poor downtrodden souls.

I take the new alanleroy has never had the courage/nerve to ask an employer for a raise.

That's all that's going on here. Rather than each employee marching in to the executive suite one by one, hat in hand, the employees have organized as a union and are collectively asking for better pay and benefits, rather than doing so separately. They've been doing so quietly for over two years now, and now they're employing nonviolent civil disobedience tactics to bring additional attention to their cause.



Sad to hear that the new alanleroy wishes American labor relations operated more like they do in China, Myanmar, and Cold War Poland. Wish our workers had the rights that employees enjoy in Deutschland.

Alanleroy II and Chilcoot- examples of the two different sides of the same story. Alan suggests that people work their way up the ladder, in the same manner that built our great nation. Chilcoot advocates the playing to the national media to get what these people have not earned. Those who work hard get the raises and benefits. Those that run their mouths complaining that the job they accepted is now unfair get what they have earned, namely media attention and liberal mouthpieces who haven't a clue.

Yes, Lech Walesa should have just shut up and got back to work at the shipyard in Gdansk.

Some people have a difficult time focusing on the subject. Liberals love to bring into a conversation things that don't pertain to original topics, hoping to divert the conversation whenever their points are exposed as being ludicrous.

Wow. I still don't think some of our liberals get it. Credit Suisse may own the Cosmo. Credit Suisse may make a profit for the year from other entities and investments.

Credit Suisse should expect the Cosmopolitan to be self sustaining. If the hotel is losing money, then you must look at trimming certain costs. I don't know of any investor who invests in something that they plan to have to subsodize the losses year in and year out.

Remember why Martin Luther King was in Memphis on that fateful night? To support a sanitation workers strike.
