[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 980028, member: 7966"] If these things were a given, then maybe. reduce labor costs by bringing in younger workers who will get paid less, - OK that may be a benefit have fewer health claims, - Paid for by the Union. and work faster - That is a misnomer - the bustin' only last a few years. Give me an experienced driver who follows the methods and is smooth. younger workers aren't hard-core union - I'm assuming you are talking about "Closed Shop" states. That might be an intangible but I'm not sure if there is much of a benefit. I came up in a RTW state and the Union stepped in when an hourly was not treated right. Same pay as elsewhere. If I were an hourly, I would rather work in a RTW state. Life's too short to live with the hostility of the Union/UPS relationship in areas like Chicago. That has to be suck-ass way to have to live. That's just me... [/QUOTE]
