I don’t know if this is still the case, but for years, the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers union was controlled by Communists.

Just like when CAT bought Electro-Motive they shut down the union work in Canada and moved to Muncie Indiana.

General Electric Co. plans to cut 950 jobs at its unionized locomotive plant in Pennsylvania

Is obama going to take GE to court to stop this union busting?

You just have to wonder how long GM, Ford and Chrysler are going to be able to survive with the UAW. They will have to move mfg. out of the country to get away from this scourge, and figure out how to escape their untenable pension expense.

GE's factory in Fort Worth, Texas—which isn't unionized and began locomotive production in January—is 20% more productive per employee than the more-than-100-year-old plant in Erie, Pa.

So in Texas, a non-union worker actually works for eight hours per day, while in PA the union protected hack works for 6.4 hours and spends the rest of the time "hanging out".

It has nothing to do with the age of the plant, and everything to do with union rules that kill individual incentive.

Sounds like a deliberate attempt to contaminate Texas——Northern Liberals——Union members Texas doesn’t need-—more Dem voters to take more Texas legislative seats away from Republicans.

I was treated to a tour of that Erie plant back in the mid-sixties by a college friend who worked there. It was a Sunday morning...and it wasn't working.

The place looked primitive, even then. And, even then, my college buddy remarked how the union was a burden on the facility.

Ah, Presque Isle on the 4th of July -- I remember it well. Damn near froze to death...
