unions are nothing but legalized extortion. If you don't like the job - then quit. Employers that do not pay fair wages will simply not have any employees.

The problem I have with Unions is that they claim that when you hire a union worker, you are getting the best trained person for the job. The problem is, they won't put their mone…

Unions played a pivotal role in the worker's rights legislation we benefit from today. They became victims of their own success, it seems. Perhaps in the future there may be anoth…

i think in this case � employees working without a contract � is moderately shitty. they can get fired anytime if the casinos hire another company to provide service. possibly a co…

i work in a unionized workplace....and i have even spent 3 years on the union executive. i have mixed feelings about it....the union *can* do some good but too often they have un…

During the foundation of Unions they had a very valid place in society. They got rid of child labor, brought on the 40 hour work week, and made the work place safer. Now there ar…

So I decided to get some kind of air freshener for my dorm room. Small, cramped space tends to make the room musty, especially during the winter when the window stays closed. I re…

my mom got one of the original ones. the first one broke. the replacement worked for a while (i think until it was out of warranty) and then started making an electrical zapping no…

Mine works pretty well. It seems to pick up a lot of dust!

the zapping usually just means that you need to clean the collecter element inside. we have like three of those here in our orifice...

I bought one about a year ago from the sharper image outlet store online. I think it was about $140. I think its works moderately well. It certainly picks up a lot of dust. The…

My roommate and I have one in our apartment and it works extremely well. We have the bigger, GP model, but the underlying technology is the same in all of the models. Food smells f…

I happen to work for one of the largest air cleaner manufacturers in the world. We sell many different types. One piece of advice - the engineers here have all deemed this type o…

Any standard HEPA filter will do a better job than the ionic breeze. It's an electrostatic precipitator, so it produces superoxide anions (O2-) which become attracted to dust parti…

Also, the ionic breeze produces ozone, which is bad for your lungs.

I see it as being a lot like a "bug zapper." You get the immediate and satisfying effect of seeing the bugs get zapped (or with the Ionic Breeze, you see the dust collect on the bl…

question: how does the ORECK air purifier stack up. it uses a grid like the sharper image one, but it's also fan driven, which moves a hell of a lot of air faster than the ionic br…

You could always try cleaning your room, as opposed to letting an air filter try and filter all the trash that accumulates. Or buy one from a local store, where you can also buy r…
