oh, this union crap is BS....sheesh.
Unions do not work in a vacuum, with no input from the ceo's or owners of the corp....If the companies agreed with the union on a pay raise or on benefits, then it is the owner's/ceo's fault for not calculating the expense of such, on the company long term....it is NOT the Union's fault for asking....it is the Company's fault for agreeing to it.....these are NEGOTIATIONS between the two....one does not have more power than the other....
I don't have issues with private sector unions. I have issues with the public worker's unions. Contracts are negotiated on the backs of tax payers. No money is coming from the pockets of those that are negotiating the contracts. This is where I have my issues.
I do have issues with private sector unions when taxpayer money is used to bail out the companies they have caused to fail just to prop up their above market compensation packages.
uhhhhh, the union workers did not get propped up with benefits, they lost some of their negotiated benefits with the gvt plan....why are you implying they gained instead of lost benefits....
do you have a problem with the ceo's getting their negotiated salaries and bonuses with tax monies as you IMPLY the union workers are getting??
sounds like you are simply jealous of union workers boe....???
what about all the workers and ceo's at the other big guys the gvt bailed out....are you against them getting paid what was negotiated and promised as well?
