Union thugs putting yet another company out of business. Unbelievable the stupidity.
“Union thugs putting yet another company out of business. Unbelievable the stupidity.”
They didn’t put the company out of business; they just put all their workers in Fond du Lac out of work plus all the community relying on that Mercury payroll.
Union members have to be the most brain dead people in the world.
Same thing happened on the Big Island of Hawaii and the sugar industry in the ‘80s. The sugar company said it needed wage concessions to stay in business - opened it’s books to the employees to show that it did indeed need to cut their compensation to stay in business (Honapau I think was the town most affected). The employees voted almost unanimously NOT to accept a pay cut. The sugar mill/plantation promptly shut its doors, and the area has been depressed eceonomically ever since. Some Japanese businessmen bought up about $20,000,000 worth of land to start a resort in the ‘90s. The same Hawaiian dickheads took them to court to prevent them from building a resort and the dickheads won. The Japanese sold at a 90% loss, and now no one will buy anything or even attempt to start any business in the area because of the morons who live there. The richly deserve to live in poverty. The only problem I have with it is that my federal tax dollars go to welfare to support the lazy a$$holes there.
In college I obtained summer employment as a machinist in a California plant. The IAM struck two time in three years. The company stated if the IAM pulled another walk-out they would close the plant and move to Illinois. The IAM struck, the plant closed, I lost a job I badly needed.
Pardon me while I correct that statement, since I read the post:
"Union thugs putting yet another company in the South."
LOL!
The company is not going out of business, it’s going out of Wisconsin. Good!
In this instance, they lose all.
