Re: Getting rid of the unions would be a good thing! said by wifi4milez:Fairpoint should set a precedent by simply contracting with whoever offers the best price for a given job. This way the corrupt union can bid on projects just like everyone else. If they do well on a project good for them, if they bog an install down in weeks of red tape then they simply wont get the business the next time. Let them earn their money like the rest of us! Yea, 'sounds great except for that pesky National Labor Relations Act. Once the employees vote for a union, the union gains monopoly power in supplying labor to Fairpoint, and Fairpoint just has to eat it. No more firing lousy performers, or paying high performers more. Everyone gets seniority-based pay, as the unions carry out hteir #1 mission - protecting mediocracy. |
