wow, just wow. everyone is indeed entitled to their opinion but your anti union diatribe is so far removed from realty as to not deserve a rebuttal. peace to you and yours.
Ah, so you're just reading one of my comments rather than reading my additional replies, got it.
Not really, late 70s the union workers demands at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard would have bankrupted General Dynamics. They opened the books and showed them on paper. They went on strike so GD had no choice but to shut it down. Everyone lost their jobs. That’s reality.
and the vast majority of those cases of non union shops paying comparable wages & benefits are because the 'Unions' have established the benchmarks for the industry and its workers.
quite the contrary Sir, i have consistently regarded you and your contributions to the MTC community highly.
I apologize for the aggressive nature of my opening comment. I realize now that wasn't a fair assessment. I should clarify that I believe a lot of unions contribute to a culture of mutual respect between the higher up's of a company, and their workforce. They help to ensure workers are treated fairly, and given the benefits they deserve. I firmly believe that reasonable unions are a good thing for society.
Something similar happened to a local auto repair shop. The contract came up for renewal and the union asked for such a big wage increase that the owners had to ask them to reduce their demand. The union wouldn't negotiate and said they would strike so the owners closed the business.
Lots of places give that without unions. The unions support the slackers and keep the good guys down. They've put a lot of places out of business but they make union officials and politicians rich on the backs of the workers. They have lost the way.
Correct.
No nepotism??? What planet are you from?
