I am in manufacturing facilities — industrial, food processing, automotive, shipbuilding, etc. — throughout the southeast most every week. I was in a plant in south Georgia last week that had almost 1000 employees. Everyone of them would run to Canton, MS if they could take just one of those jobs. And my guess is that most everyone of them were just as skilled.
You ever go into poultry plants? How about seafood processing plants? They use manual labor. Should they all unionize? How about non-union shipbuilders? USA shipbuilders are getting their azzes kicked right now. My guess is that 90% plus at the Hyundai or Kia employees would prefer the Canton, MS package over what they’re offered. Why do they deserve more at Nissan?
I go into union facilities all the time. They are by far the least productive. Some making $70 hour package and not being as productive as their non-union counterparts.
The argument is similar to the $15 per hour minimum pay. Should they all be paid a minimum of $15? I don’t think so.
So your management theory is crap all over your people all you want because they can be replaced at the drop of a hat. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's that kind of management policy that led to unionization in the first place?
