    Why are unions so often catigorized as socialist institutions?

  12. whaley10 says:

    why is gender so significant throughout the page and is race as significant why or why not

  13. nfresenko says:

    it was catigorized as socialist institutions, because the members wanted equal rights to every one, and wanted government regulation of workers

  14. leeleeohx3 says:

    Woman weren’t allowed to do a mans job. There were all different unions like one for whites, blacks, and woman :-P

  15. skaster says:

    How do NAFTA and International Traade threaten the workforce?

  24. abegue says:

    Industrial workers of the world is IWW.They now give there workers dignity and self-worth its also smaller today and has less impact.

  25. fallonfalcone says:

    What are the “right to work” laws? Where can you find them in the packet?

  26. jwolfe29 says:

    This is matthew wetter…whammy
    Well bob the answer is quite obvious. The US has been getting hammered with foreign products since 1973. Gas prices shot up and voltswagon and honda started flooding the american market. It was the first major forign competition and it was running US companies out of buisiness. Thats what i got and thats what you need.

  27. abegue says:

    Everyone is intitled to work and everyone has a right to work. Not sure where it was in the packet…we googled it :]

    what reasons did the first unions form

  36. benji242463673737743743737373737373737 says:

    Hmm…the strikes weren’t significant?

  37. mebrown says:

  38. bkennedy10 says:

    why is gender so signifacnt

  39. kstureet says:

    ok so i’m going to answer my own question. =]

    Right-to-work laws are statutes enforced in twenty-two U.S. states, mostly in the southern or western U.S., allowed under provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act, which prohibit agreements between trade unions and employers making membership or payment of union dues or “fees” a condition of employment, either before or after hiring.

    Why are the socialists institutions instead of another parties institutions?

    sammmmy sossssa & brandi quinnn (:

  44. mebrown says:

    They were considered socialist institutions because The radicals wanted to overthrow capitalism, tried to infiltrate labor unions, and sought to cooperate with the IWW

    how much more do men 16yrs or older make than women 16yrs or older make ?

  58. nfresenko says:

    skaster, $153 difference

  59. als7713 says:

    question 3. a. they say men are more business like. i dont agree with this because women are just as business like as men.
    b. more men are going into women jobs like teaching but are at the time getting paid what women do :-D

  60. begash says:

    $174 :-)

  61. begash says:

    why do men get paid more for doing the same job as women when they both hold the same responsibilities?

    Audra :)
    Davis :(
    Kayla :/
    Jake :$

  62. als7713 says:

    4. the gap is still unexplained.
    a. it’s viewed that way bc it always has been and people don’t want to change.
    b. yes we should fix it bc there should be equality among men and women. if they have the same job they should have the same pay 8-)

  63. aramsey10 says:

    what is the difference between the earnings of black women 16 to 24 and white women 16 to 24?

  64. elohellizbanks says:

    @begash:
    Because that is what the tradition is [ people being afraid to change it] and it’s not gonna change for quite some time unless something significant happens. . . :/

    ———-

    Question:
    How do men in ‘mostly female occupation’ fair [earning wages] compared to men in ‘ mostly male occupation’?

  65. nfresenko says:

    how many more white workers are there then asian workers? ;)

  66. stoffer5 says:

    Black is 388 and white is 467.

  67. stoffer5 says:

    what type of occupations do women usually work?

  68. aramsey10 says:

    nfresenko, 76,373

  69. als7713 says:

    wat age of women makes the least amount of money?????

  70. begash says:

    A white women (16-24)gets paid more than a black women(16-24)by $79.oo

    Audra :)
    Davis ;)
    Kayla :0
    Jake :(

  71. stoffer5 says:

    i agree with the whole traditional statement…Men have always been predominant over women.

  72. nfresenko says:

    nursing, teaching, waitress, and secretary

  73. skaster says:

    i agree with als7713 on ? number 3.

    3. a. b/c people say men are more professional in the work area. but i disagree b/c women can be just as professional when in the work area.
    b. b/c men are beginning to go into womens jobs, but most of the time the men are getting paid more than the women are.

  74. elohellizbanks says:

    I hate sexism! Dx

  75. als7713 says:

    stoffer… why do you think they’ve been predominant over women????

  76. stoffer5 says:

    answer to number 3 on issues in labor statistics

    3.sterotypes

    a.No, even though the past shows this to be true. It isnt fair to continue today. They feel that women are not capable of leading in an occupation.

    b.Men make more than women do in womanly occupations.

  77. begash says:

    women 16-24 get paid the least due to lack of experience and less likely to have a college degree!

    Audra :)
    Davis 8)
    Kayla :D
    Jake ;)

  78. stoffer5 says:

    because the history shows this.men always make more. its a fact if a man and women are up for a leader position men win. look at the presidency

  79. aramsey10 says:

    i agree with liz, i dont like sexism either

  80. begash says:

    my group is non helpful when it comes to GROUP WORK THEY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO MAKE (SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS)shout outs and its very dissapointing but hey girl!! how it be?? lemmon said what up hostdawg…=)

  81. begash says:

    lemmon will you marry me???? —–{@

  82. elohellizbanks says:

    Ooo yea, presidency. . . And do you know how many people say the government is run by idiots?

  83. als7713 says:

    yea… maybe men just dont like giving us a chance. when FDR wasn’t able to do work his wife was basically running the presidency for him. women just need a chance!

  84. begash says:

    soooo true als

  85. als7713 says:

    heck no:-P

  86. abegue says:

    To answer abeuge’s questions:
    Asian
    Men
    25 and older

  88. ahostetler says:

    Which age group gets paid the highest wages?………..and the answer to abegue’s frist question is the white race generally gets paid more?
    JahzE

  89. fallonfalcone says:

    Why do Asian men earn more money? Is it bceause of the occupations they are in? If so, what are those occupations?

  90. abegue says:

    Answering Fallon’s:

    Its baised on math and scince
    (not limo or taxi driver)

  91. ncase62 says:

    what race has the lowest wages?

  92. alaskasam says:

    Why is it that white people make more then black people?

  93. abegue says:

    Answers to #4.
    4.Its unexplained
    A.It’s how society is.
    B.Yes.
    C.We should all be paid evenly/fairly.
    D.It should be changed.

  94. ncase62 says:

    What age has the lowest wages?
    What gender has the lowest wages?

  95. alaskasam says:

    als7713:

    The first unions formed to protect the rights of workers and their safety.

  96. abegue says:

    Answering Ncase:

    Teens who have just started working.
    Girls make lower wages.

  97. alaskasam says:

    ncase63:

    I believe the race with the lowest wages are black people

  98. fallonfalcone says:

    I think women should be paid the same amount as men. If they have the same qualifications and education, gender should not matter. As long as a woman is doing her job correctly, there is no reason she should be paid less a man. And most of the time, women are more organized and can do the job better then a man could. So basically, we should give women a chance.

  99. abegue says:

    Of coarse women make less. its quite obvious as to why. its a fact that they have smaller brains with more nurons to the emotional portion ofthe brain. the more nurons have no affect on the intelligance, just giving women more emotions. does an employer really want an emotional headcase as an employee if so, go to the phsyciatric ward at aultman and take aplications. so the house needs cleaned

    By N.F. not Abbey!!! – a MALE student wrote this

  100. samantonacci10 says:

    wow abegue, i didnt know you thought that way of your own gender….

  101. ahostetler says:

    Please note, this is Marc Pandrea; AKA Plaid. After reading through many of your posts, I simply cannot help but comment on the plethra of spelling errors present. However, that’s neither here nor there. Depending on where you live in the United States, the illusion of inequality is often created. I say illusion because for the most part, laws of discrimination have made unequal pay and treatment illegal. Am I saying this no longer happens? Not at all, I am simply saying it’s against the law and not as common as many think. The only real difference in employment, be it race, nationality, or sex; is simply the treatment given by the employer. I would certainly hope that people would have the decency and common sense to realize we are all human, and it is our duty and purpose to better ourselves, those around us, our communities, and the world in general.

  102. becdillon says:

    Why are certain jobs stereotyped towards either men or women and not both?

  103. jfil310 says:

    why do people need unions?

  104. ahostetler says:

    For the labor unions wiki page, where can you find the answers to number five, seven, and nine? Anyone?

  105. heatherpotts says:

    Well i personally think that women should not be cleaning the house. Remember the saying “Anything you can do i can do better”. that applyies to women can do anything men do just as well. . . . or ever BETTER!!! i know that there is a bigger crowd and the mens sports are praised way more than womens sports but women can still do anyhting men can do.
    so N.F. okay you got it guys MIGHT be better than girls in sports but come to reality look at professions girls will get a lot farther in the real world than guys will so before you want us to clean the kitchen you might want to realize hhow many women bring home the money. SO go ahead go lift your weights because we will be doing something productive like getting an education and bringing in the money. Also N.F if you keep this look out on women your not going to have one to support you because we all know you cant do it on your own :)

  106. hillensbeck says:

    Question: What is the lowest paying occupation for women?

    Answers: Why is it that white people make more than black people?
    -It has always been like that through time. Even today, racism exists whether people want to believe it or not.

    What gender gets paid more?
    -Men. Again, sexism still exists even if people refuse to belive it.

  107. hillensbeck says:

    3. Women prefer certain occupations. I don’t exactly think this is a plausible explaination because if the woman likes her job, they would do a better job, thus resulting in better pay. The choice of occupation shouldn’t have an impact on what the difference in pay with men and women.

    4. The final statement is that predominately female oriented jobs pay women more than if women work in predominately male oriented jobs. Depending on the majority of the gender in that field will depend on what women will be paid.

    I agree with Fallon. Women should be paid the same as men, only and only if they give the same amount of work. If a woman works harder than a man, then the woman should be paid higher than the man. Pay should be considered on a person’s work ethic.

  108. davidthehero says:

    alright ppl. enought of this sexist and racist bullcrap. no matter who or wat you are, you should be paid equally unless your lazy and dont do anything! >.:[

  109. rmayle25 says:

    How do average earnings differ between ethnic groups? What does this tell us about the circumstances in which various groups live and work?

    Aubrie Michel and Jordan Filimonuk= LOVE

  110. bkennedy10 says:

    why do you think ethinicity makes a persons pay different

  111. bkennedy10 says:

    why do you think ethinicity makes a persons pay different?

  112. rmayle25 says:

    We agree with Fallon and Hillensbeck. That women should be paid by the work they do, not compared to men. If they do the same amount of work, they should be paid the same. If not then they should not. Women and people of different ethnicities should be paid by their work ethics.

    Aubrie Michel and Jordan Filimonuk= LOVE

  113. benji242463673737743743737373737373737 says:

    Well William Donald Kennedy, this is because people hold racist feelings and hire based on what they think is better.

  114. rmayle25 says:

    We agree with plaid about his post that women should have the same amount of rights as men do if they do the same amount of work and that

    Aubrie Michel and Jordan Filimonuk= LOVE

  115. mebrown says:

    What does the headline mean “women are underrepresented among the highest earners”?

  116. kstureet says:

    question: What’s the highest paying occupation for womern?

    reynoldsbrandthoughts- amber and katie think you are a sexist pig. seriously. this is exactly why women don’t go up into higher paying occupations- because they don’t want to put up with harrassment like this in the work force constantly. good luck finding a women. I hope you find one that can teach you proper english, how to spell, and make you a “smamich”

  117. reynoldsbrandthoughts says:

    if you all think that last comment was serious then you dont realy know me too well. and yes i agree men do have it easier.women should be paid the same and color shouldnt matter either. satyr works wonders doesnt it.

  118. rmayle25 says:

    People should realize that under neath abegue’s comment it says “By N.F. not Abbey!!! – a MALE student wrote this” not a girl! And that comment is completely wrong there are many intelligent women and they are not all head cases. In most horror films the head cases and the psychotic people are always men! So men go wash some dishes!

  119. ahostetler says:

    okay mans man. we women are not your mommies. you can get your lazy butt up and make your own sandwich.

  120. kstureet says:

    sorry. hahahhahahahahahahhahaa. =]

  121. kstureet says:

    actually.we’re not sorry. at all. but it was a funny joke… i guess. =]

  122. mebrown says:

    Well im not completely with the whole sexist pig things but i do believe that women should stay at home…not because they cant go out and do work but because thats the way that things had started out with the woman staying at home and the males going to provide for their families…

  123. katich10 says:

    Shut up MEBROWN!! times have changed. gett over it!!

  124. rmayle25 says:

    EYE RACHILL MAILEEEEE IGREE WIF KNO WON BEECUZ UR GYEZZ CAMENTS R DUMDEDDD

  125. kstureet says:

    soooo “mebrown” what are single parent women supposed to do? do you want them to stay at home and do nothing to get income from the work force? its the 21st century. grow up.

  126. shewitt2010 says:

    Personally I think women should get paid equally to men. Just because back in the day women did the chores around the house, doesn’t mean it’s still like that. Women are now doing things bigger and better than men ever did or will do. I agree with heatherpotts, she is right about men and womens sports. Mens sports get praised much more than womens because they are the superior gender. It’s 2009 and wake up people, gender doesn’t matter anymore!

    SAMMMISIZZZLE & BMASSHHHERIZZLE

  127. rmayle25 says:

    that last rmayle25 was Jordan F.

  128. katich10 says:

    Sammm take a look around you. get some commen sence then maybe you can have a voice in this blog!!!!

  129. bkennedy10 says:

    women wil never e fully equal to men on a income scale so they need to just stop complaining and just live with it

  130. reynoldsbrandthoughts says:

    why dont we love eachother with world erm classwide peace… till the bell rings at least

  131. katich10 says:

    Well if that rmayle post was a man then every thing i said i appoligies for every thing!!

  132. mebrown says:

    yeah well times may have changed but if you havent noticed theyve been going soo well soo i think that you should come to the realization that not all things should change and some should stay the same…and no im not saying that single women cant go out and work but i believe that if there is a man in the family that they should provide not the women…and i think that if you grow up and look at the way that things were in the old times that you might start to agree with me

  133. rmayle25 says:

    i think benji5253464567346535634634576345734563465237345762452364523462346 needs to take this blog more serious because hes making his fellow females look bad

  134. mebrown says:

    my bad it should be they havent been going soo well at the beginning of my post

  135. katich10 says:

    What i was saying in the recently deleted post was that women in general are not mature enough to even havee the responibilty to be able to post! sorry for singleing you out!!

  136. rmayle25 says:

    Apparently neither do men…

  137. katich10 says:

    Alright MEBROWN you need to just leave yourpost make no sence.

  138. benji242463673737743743737373737373737 says:

    AS a woman i feel that i represent our gender well and push the boundaries of society. So quit busting my chops.

    And it isn’t benji5253464567346535634634576345734563465237345762452364523462346

    it is benji242463673737743743737373737373737

  139. ahostetler says:

    honestly why are men so big headed about themselves thinking they deserve more for the same work?

    JoieKayleen

  140. rmayle25 says:

    well benji benji242463673737743743737373737373737 as a fellow female i feel that the male dominated society reflects greatly on the caveman era and that women wold polish the dinosaur eggs while men ate them

  141. reynoldsbrandthoughts says:

    many jobs are more physicaly demanding in ways many women cannot pull to such as heavy lifting and most women are weaker(not as strong as) than men.

  142. kstureet says:

    Actually it’s proven that girls’ maturity level is higher than boys. Girls also mature earlier. So you boys are down two. That shouldn’t even be brought up.
    Amber and I say “BOYS GO TO JUPITER TO GET MORE STUPIDER. GIRLS GO TO COLLEGE TO GET MORE KNOWLEDGE!”

    We just thought that’s how you’d want us to respond since we’re so “immature” haha. =]

  144. mebrown says:

    if you can explain to me how my posts doest make sense and that your’s does then i might stop blogging but i think that you should accept the fact that people dont always think like you…so grow up and face the facts

  145. katich10 says:

    I love every one and really appreciate everyones enthuseasum!!! keep up the good work. :)

  146. benji242463673737743743737373737373737 says:

    Well i’m glad you see the light Rmayle25. GIRL POWER!#$%@
    Women for life!

  147. ahostetler says:

    also i dont see why men look down upon women so much, like we are incometant. really… look at the most powerful person in America… OPRAH

    Joie

  148. rmayle25 says:

    oprah isnt just the most powerful but also the hottest! theres no such thing as an ugly rich woman!!!

  149. katich10 says:

    OPRAH is every thing bad about america.

  150. katich10 says:

    Every one is equel in the lords eys. Keep the Faith!!!

  151. kstureet says:

    last minute words in. =]

  152. rmayle25 says:

    Is something wrong with you mebrown? I mean seriously do really think that men can handle all that responsibility apparently not because men are lazy and can’t handle intelligent women. If you think that omen don’t have the right to provide for families then I hope you can handle all that responsibility. Look at a nice balanced family as an example I look at my parents. My dad works outside the house my mom works in the house though she has a working pay check because my dad knows that women are not slaves! You might wanna rethink that statement if you ever want a wife!

    How dare you question my gender. This is what is wrong with the female advancement movement. We turn on ourselves and don’t unite together to take down facist men pigs!

    One i totally agree with sam! :) Second it is proven that girls mature faster than boys which gives us the advantage to get a better job because we know how to handle the situtions of the real world while you boys are still playing with your toys. I don’t think that we should all get equal pay because some of us “mostly girls” work harder than men so we should earn more. you all also have to look at it this way women carry babies,take care of the baby, do all of the house work, work and provide money for the family, and also can still be and athlete. Today woman are lucky if they find a man who will work let alone work, clean and take care of children. Girls are better and always will be :)

    I completely agree with all the girls on this one…l sorry guys :) but as far as the work force goes, women get bashed and beaten down with harsh words from other people everday. Which is why I think men shouldn’t get paid more, women do just as much work as men… IF NOT MORE. I am not saying all men are worthless but most of them are, not gonna lie. lol, but def. girls should get paid more, cause we have to put up with everything.
