[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 849632, member: 18471"] As soon as I read this post, I thought, "It's easy to blame union workers, but what about bad management decisions?" Unions were blamed for the downfall of the US auto industry, but what about GM's management decisions? Like the Saturn, (which never turned a profit)? Or Hummers? etc. Then I read Rod's post. As far as a two tier contract, UPS did something like this, at least in my area around 1982, I wasn't employed here then but if I recall new hires were paid about 10% less than older employees. At that time about $.70, not much in today's dollars, I guess management didn't think the wage scale would go as high as it did, and it was a dollar amount rather than a percentage. The post office also did the same thing about that time. [/QUOTE]
