Then you would be mostly wrong.

Misdiagnosing a problem will only lead to the wrong solution.

The 787 problems were not caused by the union.

If you want to understand it you are going to have to look a little deeper.

Here is a little tidbit for the anti-union folks. (I am one of them but not rabidly). The company is hiring people today at the same starting pay as they did 25 years ago. So to say the union has forced excessive wages on the company is just not true.

I agree that misdiagnosing the problem leads to the wrong solution... Which is why I’m trying to correct your misperception. The rate of pay is only a very small part of the cost that a union imposes. With a union, management’s control over the operation is significantly weakened.

But it’s one of those things that’s difficult to persuade people of. For decades, the public blamed management for the
Big 3’s problems. Yes, management... but more particularly management that is beholden to and constrained by the union.
