Read the article and you can see why they want a union.“We know what makes it possible: our hands, our backs, our knees, our work. We carry the proof every day: injuries, surgeries, disabilities.”
Keep in mind that's a union publication and I wouldn't expect anything less. I worked 35 years in a UAW plant and that was the same line of BS for as long as the union was around.
Check out the horrible working conditions at the Troy plant:

If they think their working conditions are so bad, they wouldn't have lasted a day in my Detroit stamping plant.

reasonable rules for business conduct. Like proper procedures for exposure to silica and metal filings. The plant does...

> The difference is that greedy unions don’t create jobs, do they? <
As I’m sure you’ll agree, greedy unions destroy jobs.
Unions have become way too powerful. But that’s not the whole story. My immigrant grandfather worked in a nonunion Frick coal mine, and was badly injured in a cave in. The company fired him the next day as he laid in a hospital bed.
So I’ve got to ask: Would the unions have been so unreasonable had management not been so unreasonable? I dunno. Plenty of blame to go around.

The UAW lives up to its destructive communist-inspired reputation...

Sounds like Troy has a lot of self-identifying fools in town.

I figured as much, Union members are usually led around by their back pocket, Union organizers are Marxist/Leninists or Mob backed goons.

Don't assume these "horrible working conditions" will be high on the uniton's priority list for long. You must know that the number one priority of the union -- every union -- the priority above all else, be it worker safety, worker pay, worker benefits -- the TOP priority is (take a guess):
Thebpreservation of the union.
Never, ever forget that hard reality.
