[QUOTE="wage EARNER, post: 1279627, member: 49286"] PiedmontSteward, your points are valid. I was aware of the NMA forbidding such strike but not aware such language goes back to the 30s. I was speaking in general terms of labor unions. Most labor unions came about, not just because of wages but the poor working conditions and the harassment by management. Labor unions have given a pass to management to abuse their employees, thus forfeiting the power and purpose of a labor union. I've sat in on many grievance hearings as a steward and used the 'open door'(closed mind) policy as well as called the hotline. It is all a cat and mouse game played by both management and the union. Offering a suspension and termination fund would most likely encourage a manager to take out an employee even quicker and keep them out even longer. It's a concession. [/QUOTE]
