[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1107735, member: 18708"] Corporate thinks they are cunning with the typical union-busting. When I worked for a private co. from 1996-2001, there was a time (1998?) I had to walk through picket lines. We weren't union, but the drivers were and they were out striking for weeks if not months. They were Teamsters, too. Being pretty young at the time, I had no idea what was [I]really[/I] going on. But the one memory that stood out was the brass of the company coming in from PA and providing an "outing" day, where the night shift had a giant cookout with games and activities. Looking back on this, the anti-union efforts were so poorly constructed and timed that even I could see through the brainwashing going on. Shortly after that, the captivating anti-union propaganda sit-downs and videos started popping. It wasn't a weak campaign, either; was pedal to the metal, full throttle. I do think that (without being too cynical), we should remind our younger brothers and sisters who're maybe a little green like I was, that the heart and soul of corporate America and UPS aren't buying coffee and donuts for any other reason than to influence and sway.
