Yep, totally agree! That's why many union jobs were replaced by robots which seems to be why the quality of US products has increased. I never have heard of a robot coming to work drunk or strung out on drugs.
Let me get this straight. You agree that union workmanship is quality workmanship and then in your next sentence, you explain why union workmanship is not quality? What? That doesn't make sense. You praise union workmanship and then insult union members.
Nope, often times Union membership and workmanship are mutually exclusive terms but a decrease in workmanship by union members always means a decrease in quality. That's also a reason manufacturers fled to the orient. Again, that's why manufacturers invested in robots and other technology. But aren't you glad that we can agree on something!
I don't agree with your explanation. Union workmanship is what was being discussed, then you insulted union workers. It's plain to see. Most production jobs went overseas for extremely cheap labor. When you can pay $100/ day/worker or $0.50/day/worker. Some repetitive jobs were replaced by robots, but someone has to man that robot and inspect the work. Union workers are trained, by unions, for the jobs they do. That makes for quality workmanship and pride in their work. Companies use to be happy to pay for the skill levels unions provided. Now, companies pay for the skill of the CEO and couldn't care less about the worker.
