The unions were good to me. Except for those 2 pricks I never had
problems with management either. *Guys like them are the reason
there's unions*. They'll lie and steal you blind, and get you killed
for a buck.

Bingo!
If everyone was treated fairly & with respect why would they willingly
pay those union dues year after year.
(not counting a few cases where a particular union may hold a business
hostage to enrich it's members above their fair value)

Stop living in the 1920s Don.

Unions cause mediocrity...........everyone receives the same pay increase,
despite their abilities and contributions.


The same 'minimal' increase. Nothing stops a corp from rewarding
exceptional workers.




That's right. The union rate in most contracts is the minimal rate.
There is nothing to prevent an employer from rewarding exceptional
workers more expansively.


Unfortunately, the basic union rate is already excessive in most
cases. The cost of employment of American union workers has initiated
the move to outsourcing. It certainly is sinking Chrysler and the
rest of the American auto industry, huh?

My ex-wife tells the opposite stories concerning unions. One of union
corruption and greed. Of her, and her fellow UAW workers, of being
able to purposefully shut down GM production lines, with malice, and
then being protected by their union goobs and keeping their jobs.
Just for fun.

Unions have reaped what they have sown. It used to take hard work, a
college education, and a serious work ethic to have a Cadillac and a
big screen TV. Now every High School dropout that gets a union job
thinks they are entitled.

That's why the move to Indian and China. That's why the unions are
getting their butts kicked.

They need to wise up. They are ruining my country.
