[QUOTE="area43, post: 253054, member: 4862"] Sacrafices in the short term will benefit the worker in the long run. Even at the expense of the company becoming third rate carrier or goes out of business. I answered the question and IMO I believed I was correct. No offense Lifer but your many days in mgt might have skewed your judgement. Let me explain. The history of the strike. Lets go back to the beginning. Lets talk about the great pay and bennies of the early 1900's(sarcasm). Lifer would you want to be working on one of those assembly lines. The 12 to 14 hour days. No or little breaks. Vacations, Ha. If you got hurt there was no comp. The fear of being fired was a daily occurence. Etc, Etc, Etc. Brutal to say the least. I believe you are starting to get my point. The worker had to choose being laid off(loss of volume) by striking the Company for its questionable practices or get terminated by a brutal way of managing. I ask you this. What way would you choose? Be fired or get laid off(because of strike). I would choose the strike. As you can see because of the strike. Its has set the standard for Pay and bennies for all workers. Union, Non Union and Salary. Better Safety conditions came out of it. Mim Wage laws. Overtime. 40 hr a work week. Yes, companies fell by the way side. Sacrafices were made by the workers in the short term present of the strike(duration) but in the many years to come we have reaped the rewards. So the winner of a strike is the Employee. [/QUOTE]
