[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 1056426, member: 43825"] What most anti union people don't realize is that they wouldn't have the wages, benefits, and protections that they now have if unions did not exist. What do you think FedEx would be paying us if they didn't have to somewhat compete with UPS union wages? Probably min wage. What Hostess did was the a form of union busting. Their workers weren't asking for more in wages and benefits just to keep it the same. The company was asking for deep cuts to wages and benefits. I doubt these workers were making very much in the first place. The company then disregarded their bargaining rights and went to the courts to force these cuts. The sad thing is the executives of Hostess will be ok. They will shut down this company and then probably open another in the future and hire a non union workforce to pay low wages and increase profits. What's the point of having a union if they are not going to fight for the little guys? There are plenty of successful companies with union workers. UPS and FedEx with its pilots who are some of the highest paid in the industry are both doing just fine with their union workers. I really think most of us FedEx workers would be content with faster top out pay , not cutting our benefits every year and maybe some changes to some work rules. I don't think that's too much to ask.
