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.


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.
