[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 514323, member: 18471"] Many people's 401k's have taken a hit by last years stock market, also what has happened to management's 401k match this year? Is "most of the world" better off without unions? A lot has been said about the auto industry and how Japanese and European automaker who have plants in the US pay "comparable" wages. Yet in their home countries European automakers have unions, they and Japanese automakers don't have the "legacy" health care costs here in the US since they haven't been here that long to have "legacy" workers. In both Europe and Japan they have socialized medicine so they don't have those kind of health care costs at all. If companies "[COLOR=#0000ff]companies keep their compensation and benifits at a certain level to ensure their employees do not become dissatisfied and join a union. So in reality the threat of unionization may do more for employee compensation plans then unionization itself."
