Look for the feds to threaten to pull its ammo contracts if Olin tries to move!
BTW: Previous threads:
It's official: Olin ammo production to Mississippi (Union drives 800 jobs out of Illinois)
Aside from the benefit of no longer being in anti-business Illinoise, why would the company pack up and move instead of firing all the unionists and hiring new workers from the same community?
union scum losing jobs alert!
. . . the unions chickens comin’ home to roost .
Union Made!! Oh well there's always...would you like fries with that.
Let's get this right. All this IN AN AMMUNITION FACTORY? (a) I would not work there while this unfolds, and (b) I would not buy their products made during the next few months.
IN THIS ECONOMY THEY REJECT GIVING UP A WEEK’S VACATION WHEN THEY HAVE 5 WEEKS OFF?????
I have not had more than 2 weeks off per year for 20 years.
I bet they start screaming “OK OK We’ll take the deal...” and I hope the company tells them to stuff it.
The union did the same thing at the Nashville Peterbilt plant,kept going out on strike,over and over again
Peterbilt gave the union one last chance,nope said the union
Peterbilt moved to Texas
these union thugs just keep “representing” these workers out of jobs.....amazing....
The IAMAW are some tough folks, I remember when in Fort Worth they struck at the General Dynamics (F16 facility) they were overturning cars, throwing nails in the roadway of the entrance to the plant etc. This was back in the late 80’s and production workers were making 100-150K a YEAR depending on O/T and janitorial folks were making 80K a year or so with O/T. That is ridiculous. And they didn’t really put in an honest 8 for 8 hours pay much less the O/T. But they are MEAN when they don’t get their over sized “fair share” of the bennies.
Well, there's 470 guys that probably won't be voting for 0bama in '12.
With all of Harry Reid’s so-called clout, why didn’t those jobs come to Nevada, huh Harry?
LOL, and in an ammunition plant...
