[QUOTE="ImpactedTSG, post: 328458, member: 4855"] Thanks Tie! From what I saw here is what the union gives the company: Workers that get out of situations where they should clearly lose their jobs but don't because of the union. Basically workers are untouchable unless they are caught stealing and sometimes even then they keep their jobs. Money draining strikes and negotiations to prevent them. Money that could be better spent in other areas. Not being able to assign the best workers to the crucial positions. Certain jobs are more "attractive" than others and sups cannot assign a kick-butt lower seniority worker to them if a higher seniority worker want to do that job even if they aboslutely suck at it. I'll come up with more later. I do mean to sound anti-union, but when it comes down to it, I guess I am. I think the idea of a union to protect workers is a good idea, but like most other big govt. type entities, it is grossly misused. [/QUOTE]
