A strike is seen as the last resort that unionized workers have when bargaining with the, “evil company!’
I say, “stay at the bargaining table and hammer the differences out . Be realistic, both sides, and don’t hamstring the company or the union.
Unfortunately, the leaders will not bend and a strike happens, crippling both company and worker. Who wins? Neither side. Who suffers? The Public.
It is difficult to bargain with people who don’t understand business. In the end,
the unions are a plague to our economy.
Lots of non union downstream supply workers will be hit hardest
I worked at a major defense contractor for over 35 years.
We had at least 3 unions. Security & Fire, Clerical and Mfg.
The latter two unions mentioned went on strike several times while I worked there. I was salaried management level and I recall packing a few days of clothes/toiletries/etc. in a bag to be locked in at the plant and work in the mfg. area.
The strikers had to walk picket lines and were paid from their union’s strike fund. They got $25 a week!
The income they lost for a short strike was never made up by the small wage increases they agreed to accept.
Greedy union bosses constantly screw over their members.
