![]() wrote in message ... Of course the employers don't want the union to get established. Why would anyone want to suffer the same fate as the Big 3 automakers are, having been sucked dry by the UAW? It's funny to hear the pro-union trash on this NG whine about intimidation. That's exactly how unions exist... through intimidation. "Give us another raise and increase our benefits, or we go on strike!" ************************************************** *********** You best stick to something you know...such as pleasuring the 'palm sisters'. In the last number of years where I worked, it was about continual concessions.. one way of course with the unions on the losing end. In the background ...always threats the location could be downsized. |

Yeah, and who pushed the concessions votes? Probably your union business agent who is soundly in the pocket of management ![]() |

Our biggest problem was providing a service in a competitive environment. We weren't the only game in town and the Crown Corp could go on forever on the billion dollars of taxpayer money received every year. |

I don't know about recent years, but in the 70s/80s when I was corresponding with the Canadian resident it seemed like the Canadian postal service was always on strike. |

The Post Office went through a rough time. Bosses used to fill the lower management ranks with retired military types. They wanted hard nosed yes men to use against the union rank & file. |

Hadn't thought of this in years, but most of my managers in union shops were hard asses. They had to be. --Vic |

Your story isn't relevant... I'm sure you worked someplace "special". But do tell, Don... did you ever participate in a walk-out, a work slowdown, or a strike? Did your union ever demand something and tell the company if they didn't get it, they'd strike? You know, did they use intimidation? Probably not. You were a member of the puss union. |

Yours truly handled the 'strike pay' I have a hammed-up picture somewhere of the female vice president on her knees begging for money while I play scrooge, with wads of $20 bills falling out of every pocket I had. Life on the actual line got tedius after 3 weeks...and of course it was winter. |
