The baker union's "win" over the eeevil bakery corporation reminds me of a somewhat similar union "victory" over the company in which I was employed for most of my working life (I'm now retired). Our company built a plant in a NE state that is practically owned by big labor (mistake #1) and hired about 100-125 local people for well paid assembly line jobs. They were paid substantially more per hour than any local companies were paying, along with a generous profit sharing program and fully paid for health insurance.

However, that excellent benefit package wasn't good enough for the unionized workers, so they began demanding higher pay and more benefits even though many, if not most, of them in that backwater area had been unemployed before the plant opened. So, when their demands were not met they began what amounted to a reign of terror tactics against the management team and their families who had relocated to that area. It began with relatively minor criminal acts such as spray painting cars parked overnight, paper bags of excrement left on doorsteps, threatening notes, etc, then progressed to killing family pets and hanging the bodies on doorknobs,, threatening kids walking to school, breaking windshields, denting car roofs and doors, etc.

After a few months of those outrages and little or no help from local law enforcement (unionized no doubt) the CEO of our company simply closed the plant and put the property up for sale. I had been offered a considerably better position in mid-level management at that plant before it opened, but I didn't take it because my family didn't want to relocate from the sunny south to the frozen northland. And after the union terror tactics became known throughout the company I was very thankful that they had kept me from taking that transfer. I hope the fanatical union so-called "workers" who fouled their own nests are happy now while they're probably back to living on public welfare paid for by the taxes of other people who are willing to work for good wages and generous benefits without the "blessing" of thuggish union bosses.
