Well, obviously you have some stake in some union.
I do not. Ergo, I don’t care if every union and their contracts is toilet paper.
One of the things you bring to mind is when Paul Hilal and Mantle Ridge took over CSX Transportation. 1000s of union workers lost their jobs in the name of the “efficiency model” that Hunter Harrison and Hilal, brought to the railroad. The same model they used when they took over one of the Canadian railroads.
That model is....Fire as many people as you can. Tell the rest that if they don’t like their jobs there are plenty that will take it. Run the company on a skeleton crew. And then tell Congress that the railroads business model isn’t about providing an efficient service to customers and the consumer, but to the share holder, ergo, the railroad doesn’t care about delayed shipments, etc.
What’s interesting about that whole thing, was that the Railroad Unions, some of the oldest in the country, DIDN’T SAY A F*CKING WORD about thousands of employees losing their jobs. I think it ended up being over 6000, at least. And that same business model was picked up by Norfolk Southern and not a peep from the unions. I wonder why.
I am a former member of that union—now retired.
But—they are gonna be the first line of everyone’s defense.
If they cave then Bidet can go after all health care plans, social security, medicare, etc and require vaccinations.
The stakes are huge—for everyone.
