This union has been on strike for three years in a town with 19% unemployment. Apparently management has decided to play hardball, and we see that union solidarity is not all it's cracked up to be.

The same place that lost the RV trade. With attitudes like this, should I feel sorry that this place has a 19% unemployment?
would you like to have your $40,000 yearly salary reduced by 40% ? the union was willing to extend the current contract as it was..... THEY WERE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING. was management going to take 40% pay cuts?quote:Originally posted by zippadeedoodah:

Can you imagine the outrage if union workers slacked off and worked at a 40 percent slower pace and told management "you can take slower production or no production"...

As for agreements, Obama proved that no one has to abide by agreements any more. I once worked at Champion and was given the option of 'less or nothing'. I took less.

Don't blame 8 years of Bush and the republicans mess on democrats. You wanted war and Bush gave you one and everybody is paying for it. The rich get rich from war.

So those guys on strike who have been getting $200 a week for the last three years could be working at the 40% cut and getting $550 a week. I think I know who the imbeciles are. Now they won't get their jobs back at all.

Ok, read my lips, Don't blame 8 years of Bush and the republicans mess on democrats. That should make good sense. No, I'm not Zeb. But if it turns you on to think I am, it is ok by me.
