[QUOTE="Stonefish, post: 1353688, member: 50401"] Deregulation had everything to do with the demise of the trucking industry and airline industry. [B][/B] Hostess: as the company was preparing to file for bankruptcy, the then CEO of Hostess was awarded a 300 percent raise (from approximately $750,000 to $2,550,000) and at least nine other top executives of the company received massive pay raises. One such executive received a pay increase from $500,000 to $900,000 and another received one taking his salary from $375,000 to $656,256. How is that the fault of the union? Oh, it only forces them out of business when it's the union?? So now that the ones that are left were forced to accept lower wages why aren't the jobs coming back? Private sector unions are approximately 7% of the country. Whey aren't the other 93% coming back? As far as people blaming unions not allowing auto makers to modernize what happened at UPS the are big on technology and profitability. Sounds like more mismanagement on the part of other industries. It isn't the union driving the costs up it the regulations they have here and don't have them in other countries [/QUOTE]
