I had just read somewhere the other day that Southwest announced it was relaxing it's schedule and workloads. Not enough for the union? You realize a union exists only to claim it is doing great things for it's members. Therefore it has to keep pushing and pushing the company beyond all reasonable limits - otherwise if the union couldn't say "see what we got for you?" members might start to wonder why they need a union... Problem is, eventually they always push too far, too hard, and things break. Sometimes permanently. Sorry, there's that anti-union bias showing through again. I'm sure in some places and some times they are a good thing. But my experience is 100% the opposite.
In the old days unions helped to get relatively safe working conditions for their members. But my observations agrees with you in that, overall, unions are a drain.
They thrive in industries where there’s no competition. Think GM before Toyotas arrived.
Southwest is the airline bringing in the Afghan refugees.
A youtube channel called Monkey Werx is documenting it.
