Also, this union endorsed Obama in 2012, and they are now upset about the rising health care costs. Hmm..... you get what you vote for?
Well, cancel the contract and get somebody else, Mother Rucker.
‘Bama is rtw.
Wonder how many of the 3000 are actually paying dues?
Interesting. Writer used to work for the Decatur Daily. Owned by a BIG Democrat family. It’s called “The Duhly”’
This is a big drawback with contractors (strikes).
If these guys were regular DOD employees, it would be illegal for them to strike.
In this day and age when so many are out of work, I think if you walk off a job, you should find someone else working that job.
Unions used to be able the little man, now they are only about “all I can get man”.
It sticks in my craw.
Plenty of un/underemployed people who are qualified to do the job who would love to have one. Simply hire them and tell the union guys, “sorry, you walked off the job. That means you quit and your services are in longer needed. Also, you are now trespassing on our property. Get off or you will be arrested.”
Just another reason I hate unions
Take a tip from the Gipper.
Send them home for the rest of their lives and hire replacements.
My mother has a 1st cousin who retired from Ft. Rucker. He is around 80 now. Got his certification in airframe or power plant somesuch at the tech school in Ozark. He worked there during Vietnam going on test flights all the time on the UH-1s. Naturally he was union - don’t remember which 1. Met him for the 1st time ~15 years ago at a family reunion. One of the most disagreeable assholes I have ever met - and a virulent Democrat.
