[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 772836, member: 16611"] Unemployment pays something so it's not 100%. You think that the only way for that plant to survive is to reduce wages of the Union employees by 50%. I seriously doubt it. It is the easy way out for the company. A way to try to make it look like the big bad Union is to blame for all the lost jobs. Fact is the management entered into the labor agreement and they were well aware of the costs associated with it. Seems to me that's poor management. Knowing you fixed costs for an extended period of time and not planing for a way to pay for it if something happens and slows your profits. I did not say absolutely no way to any cuts, I do think 50% is completely out of the question. The company knew when they made that offer there was no way it would ever pass, they simply used it as a ploy to turn the criticism away from themselves and onto the Union.
