[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 812615, member: 869"] We really should try and help them organize. Maybe if we do the above and otherwise strengthen our union we will. The company owns the power inherent in this relationship, but that doesn't necessarily negate our choice if we don't let it. I have reached out to two locals, the White House, my senator and governor. I don't think I am an alarmist and I'm not approaching it that way, but it is alarming. President Obama campaigns on Organizing America. Who better to do this than private unions. It's a three-way win. Other workers would be treated with the respect they deserve, the unions would thrive and also be more accountable b/c of increased numbers and at least gov't supervision (not public unions- businesses HAVE to be regulated though), and hopefully our company will flourish because we would have a good union and our competition would be union. I'm not on crack, I just think that we as a nation can pull together despite our differences and make our corner of the earth better. Dare you to call your local tomorrow and let them know you're concerned. They aren't all bad people. A lot are concerned about their futures too. [/QUOTE]
