[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 890077, member: 24302"] Without a strong economy the company will do whatever is necessary to maintain a certain level of profitability. Thus the employees will suffer the consequences. And most of the employees aren't going to make waves in a bad economy because there's very little opportunity to replace this job. Only a strong economy with real alternatives will drive the company to raise compensation to stay competitive for employees. But that's the best time for existing employees to unionize, not now. Lose your job now and plenty will step forward to replace you. In a strong economy it'll be hard to replace you with quality applicants. So why unionize if the economy is strong? Because the company's strategy in a strong marketplace was to raise starting pay. Those of us in mid-range were left twisting in the wind. This is what the company should be worried about. So many of us feel we were screwed when things were good that we'll leave as soon as things improve. Or organize. If they're smart they'll set a reasonable timeline to reach top pay and enhance some benefits. Otherwise their chickens will come home to roost. They've firmly established themselves as a company that tells you one thing but the reality is very different. It's the information age and, to quote Abe Lincoln:"You can fool some of the people all the time, and all the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time"(paraphrased). [/QUOTE]
