The company. They'll be bought off.
I was a member of unions for may years and I know the game.
(And I'm against card check by the way.)
Most companies will welcome a union so they can pay their
employees less money. Although they may have to dish out
a little bribe money for union officials.
They will no longer have to award workers for productivity
while still imposing the same and perhaps even greater production standards.
What are you talking about? I had a construction business for many years and we and fellow owners all had to pay way more than our non-union competitors. And it was also cheaper for the employees to be non-union because of the dues and the fact that their benefits were theirs from day one. Many a union man lost all the benefits we paid into the union funds because he didn't last long enough as a union member to qualify for the rights to those benefits. I heard many stories about what the unions would do to their own members.....not to mention what they did to employers. It is the WORST racket - they ruined our business - a business that provided a very good living for lots of families for many years.
