I can say, even now, that no matter what you think of unions, management is 100 times worse. It is hard to justify union members take a pay cut, or cut their benefits when you award your CEO and board of directors 10's or 100's of millions of dollars every year in bonuses. Or when your advertisements are on every single Big Ten football game. Or endless other examples.

You can't expect a multimillion dollar company flaunting their money in the faces of the workers, and to keep paying their management and execs absolutely ludicrous pay hikes annually, or bazillions on their ad budgets, and not expect those at the bottom rung not to be asking for their piece of the pie?

Nigga please.

Not talking about multimillion dollar companies with multimillion per year CEOs, etc. I'm talking smaller than that, stuff like a regional airport. Union rules add so many layers of extra work that must be done for any little thing, etc. I should note, though, that your problem you detail above exists in BOTH union and non-union shops, so you can't say the union's FIXED that problem.

Anyway, you got your opinion, I got mine. I ain't going toe to toe with you on it.
