[QUOTE="rod, post: 208883, member: 5382"] Just a word of advise from an old retired guy. If you go to a Union meeting and they take a vote to "authorize a strike if nessessary" be careful how you vote. If you are a new person and don't have a ton of $ saved up you could be cutting your own throat. Some of the younger guys at my old center were never called back. (or at least the were off so long they took employment elsewhere.) A strike is a SERIOUS thing. In the history of labor negotiations many advances have been made because of taking the hardline- but not without paying the pipper so to speak. Yes- there was an "authorization to strike" vote taken last time and most everyone voted for the Union to have the power to call for one, but when the Union did a good share of the people talked about how "they never thought they would do it" but by then it was too late.
