Bombardier Learjet plan should be:
1. hire replacements
2. keep up production.
I would guess that real machinists are not that easy to find. Maybe with all the computers, they don’t need real machinists, though.
If and when Obama is re elected he will throw the trade unions under the Obama bus if their agendas conflict with Obama’s green jobs agenda.
Union Bosses Keeping [Mostly] Low Profiles At DNC’s Union-Free Convention
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | September 3rd, 2012 at
Union bosses have made such a big deal about being upset with the DNC’s pick of Charlotte, North Carolina for its convention (even going so far as having an August ’shadow convention‘) that, while they may be in the state for the Barack Obama nomination celebration, they’re making every effort to make it look like they’re absent.
Adding insult to injury, not only is North Carolina the least unionized state in the nation, the stadium where Barack Obama is giving his acceptance speech was built by entirely union-free labor.
The lack of union support (and money) at the convention is likely why the DNC is giving away free tickets to people from neighboring states to go and watch Obama’s acceptance speech on Thursday.
Although about a dozen of the building trade unions, along with Machinists’ union boss Tom Buffenbarger (of course), are boycotting (and some plan to protest) the Democrats’ soiree, other union bosses are attending the convention. However, they are taking fewer members and a much lower profile than past conventions.
