Not a Union fan, but if I agree to work for x, you better damn well give me x.

When I take my car to the repair shop and sign a work order to replace the engine for $3,000, can I, after the work is done, “adjust” the agreement to require the autoshop to pay more towards the parts?

Am I off base?

Off base, no. But you have to remember that anymore any promise or law automatically comes with an expiration date.

As to how I feel about the reneging on the retirees health care costs, meh. The majority of us that work our butts off aren't guaranteed squat after we retire and we don't have the advantage of over inflated wages during our working years so we can save for the future.

Hugely. “I’ll repay you the second Tuesday of next week”. Their union promised this bag of goodies and failed at the contract table. If workers learn that their daddy isn’t their union or their government and they must plan for their own futures, people will learn to adjust their life style or face severe consequences in old age when they no longer have a voice, because they are no longer producing.

Yes, you’re off base. It’s ok if it’s happening to someone else.

Guess it depends on your way of thinking. Would you expect 10 years down the road to take the car in again and expect the money you paid 10 years ago to now pay for another new engine.
