"Discussions on the proposed labor contract began at 9 a.m. today in the Toyota Arena at the York Expo Center, where the members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 175 met."

Am I the only one who noticed this?

This company is making money hand over fist and comes to the Milwaukee workers last year and demands concessions, 2 tier wage system and knocks health benefits to hell.

I am tired of the UNION bashing on FR. They helped create the middle class in this country. YEP, the same one that is disappearing at a fast rate. Don't forget that.

I'll grant there have been issues w/ some unions throughout history. But, when a company is making mega money, is it a bad thing that workers get a stake in it?

The workers are the first ones to take the hit if it goes sour. Let's knock CEO and CO. officer pay and benefits, too. I don't hear much around here about that idea.

I have owned several HD's. I also refuse to give my business to their dealers because of the way they treat their long standing customers. It is feed the yuppies at HD now.
