Â*Unionization is quite a recent thing with IBM. Â*The first alliance was in 1999. thanks for proving my point. the semiconductor industry in the US has collapsed. but IBM remains competitive due to its unionized workforce i agree that unionization is a wonderful thing. the NON unionized companies in silicon valley have disappeared. Now, in recent history, in 2001, IBM cut 500 workers in Burlington, VT, 400 in Endicott, NY, 200 in East Fishkill, 180 in Rochester, NY, 150 in Freemont, CA and 75 in Raliegh, NC. Â*In 2002, over 9,000 jobs were cut in June of 2002 and another 14,000 in August of the same year. Â*Their was a mass terminatio n at Lotus Professional Services (which is owned by IBM). Â*Half of the consultants working there were told to find new jobs withing LPS or be let go. Â*The IBM retirement package now requires that new retirees will have to pay for medical benefits. Â* again, thanks for proving my point. national semi in silicon valley is closed. non union. phillips in san antonio is closed. non union. motorola is closed. non union. again and again it's the NON union plants that have disappeared. Yep, IBM in the US has laid off over 10,000 employees while moving most of its semiconductor stuff overseas where the union is stronger. So much for increased benefits by being unionized. Â*;( really? so why don't you get a job with a non-unionized plant? oh. there aren't any thanks again for proving why unions are great. Nope, just proving that unions are like a fungus. They pop up virtually anywhere and will do whatever they have to to stay in power. I have had experience in union shops and non union shop and, believe me, merit pay systems are much better. If you have merit, then yes. If all you do is basically show up every day, then no. All-in-all it is a mindset paradigm. It is one of the reasons that most public sector employees are perceived as not doing dick (The old 50 government workers & 50 Lesbians in one room joke). Since excellence will not lead to a pay increase, promotion, or any other type of personal reward most do not bother. In those organizations there is absolutely no reason to excel since excellence is not rewarded. That is particularly true in union shops. -- Sleep well tonight, RD (The Sandman) "Fear is the foundation of most governments." President John Adams |
