I’m not aware of the quality of IAM workers. We all know that UAW workers are terrible.

Quality of the IAM and UAW - AFL-CIO “workmanship”

Management is always dealing with angry, pouting, demanding Napoleons - in the form of union managers up and down the union chains of command.

“Workers” make things disappear:

- nuts and bolts
- engine parts
- panels
- wiring harnesses
- safety wire
- seals
- stamps
- tools
- structures
- gears
- grease
- instruments
- inspection gear
- lighting
- vehicles
- custom pallets
- tugs
- forms
- molds

The disappearance of parts, are “an issue” with the union, and a “white collar” manager will struggle with, or walk away from, dealing with the infernal union “shop steward” whose “job” it is to be an impassable hemorrhoid.
