[QUOTE="Frankie's Friend, post: 3636519"] I remember walking out with everyone. I remember how nasty the upper management (div and dist mgrs) got when they came to the strike line. I remember the sheets of company offers they presented to us. No one budged. I remember the div mgr asking us what we thought about the company proposals (that offered "performance based" raises) and we all just looked at each other knowing the crooked liars had harassed us for years over bogus garbage, screwed up our paychecks, and knew there was no way we'd ever trust them to be honest with our raises based on their "performance" standards. In fact the div mgr got hateful with an employee who was tired of the management coming to the line and harassing us with their stupid proposals and finally said "all I know is you've lost $150,000 in the time it took me to drink this milkshake". The div mgr told him he'd like to shove that milkshake up the employee's ass. At that moment the truth finally surfaced and everyone knew, thanks to the manager's threat, that they'd never trust the company with their raises or pension. That's why the strike line held and the pension stayed with the union imo. After being harassed for years and years by management they now wanted trust. Good luck with that then and now. [/QUOTE]
