If you felt you could lose your job, you wouldn't agree with your employer? There are different ways to go about making your opinion heard. Putting your job on the line doesn't have to go hand in hand with that.

Nobody in this NFL labor fight is going to lose their job. This is a battle between rich people and super rich people.

But if we are talking about sacrificing our jobs in the fight to face off against uncontrolled corporate greed it's obvious that the super rich are in a great position right now as you point out middle class Americans find themselves so leveraged by mortgages, debts and twenty three monthly bills every month that it seems impossible to even consider putting up a fight when it comes to labor disputes?

It's a joke. American laborers died in the streets so that they could earn a chance at a living wage.

Now that the middle class has gotten so drunk off of a steady diet of fast food, mindless television and a garage filled with toys we can't afford we are incapable of staring down management and the super rich?

The distribution of wealth is at a staggeringly unhealthy level and yet we elect politicians who fight tooth and nail to give tax breaks to corporations and the super rich?

Maybe Americans can start voting for politicians who are interested in helping people.

To answer your question I would put my job on the line.

But as you said I would obviously do my best to use every other avenue to get my opinion heard.....only because I have a family I'm responsible for, I've got lots of bills and I don't make that much money.
