It appears they are staying open with scabs and the Union is fighting a losing battle.
Better a job with some benefits than no job at all.
Scabs=Replacement workers.
Replacement workers= People who are willing to work.
The last quarter was one of AK's best. There doing this with 1,000 less workers. I doubt this could continue but the fact is the union is doing this folks no good.
It looks to me like the Union chose not to enter into a contract, while a different supplier has.
The Detroit News video taped strikers during their last strike, the tapes should be made public to show just how wonderful the Union types are, "scabs" will be the mildest thing you may hear.
So, they are running the same plant with hundreds less employees. What does that tell you about the union workers' level of productivity?
