[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 500306, member: 29166"] Discrimination is a fact of life. Everyone discriminates (more pointedly so the ones who claim they don't) and everyone faces some sort of discrimination. When it comes to working conditions everyone has three choices to make more money: more hours, promotion, new job. It's a catch-22 if you can't yet be promoted so you work longer hours so you get tired and you end up neglecting your health and then get injured on the job and never get considered for promotion and go get a new job, where the cycle repeats. Everybody wants a piece of the pie, and when union organizers appear the first thing they ask is whether or not the workers are being mistreated. It's easy to encourage people to exaggerate their grievances to the point of appearing discriminatory. If you don't speak English and the company only does business in English, you're discriminated against, right? It's all a point of view, and that view licks its chops when the employer is a multi-million dollar company. I'm not claiming B&H is incapable of wrongdoing, I'm just saying there are two sides to this story, and none of it has to do with antisemitism. [/QUOTE]
