At my former employer they ran elections to unionize the drivers until the Union won and then stopped . Why not keep holding them ? The Union won by I think 4 votes and fucked the employees promptly . The first thing they got was a wage cap were previously there was none . Long term guys were $7-8 an hour over the cap . They were given a meeting place as next to the dumpster for the monthly meetings . The only reason they even had the fight was because a union loving California employee transferred in .

Isn't this like the fourth time they've rejected the union? Technically the last time they didn't go to a vote. There was something about the process that if the union pulls the vote, they only have to wait a year to try again but if they lose an actual vote they have to wait longer than a year to try again. I'm not sure the specifics, it's what I heard on the radio and the union knew they didn't have a snowball's chance in hell a year ago. I'm just glad it's over, I'm tired of all the frigging radio ads. Also, fuck 98 Rock, everything they did the last year was sponsored by the machinists union. Couldn't find any other sponsors, huh assholes? |

Sure across the board many union employees will make more than their non union counterpart. However, the top employees would make much more outside of a union. I know, I'm in a skilled labor union. I deal with absolute garbage employees on a daily basis who only make what they do because a bunch of fantastic employees built up a reputation of good work. I'm planning my exit and have a job lined up making more money, with a shorter commute, a much greater potential for advancement and a better work environment. |

Yes, the union sued to being able to have a vote w/o the usual process of VW workers signing cards & getting enough to allow a vote. Can't recall exactly, but I believe the union won that lawsuit. What is even more mind boggling, VW suits endorsed having the union in their own GD plant...........

Typical corporate behaviour. I am not saying you are full of it, but I think your friend might be, or might be tossing about sour grapes rumors. If 25% of the 2800 employees were getting threatened...the unionistas would have made massive political hay over it. Personally, I would rather fly on non Union built aircraft. I want people building planes that know if they fuck up they can't hide behind a union. |
