Re: Strike said by hottboiinnc:True! And unions don't make the cost go down! Maybe unions shouldn't be so damn greedy! Eventually, from a psychological standpoint to enforce that health care IS a cost of employing people, companies are going to start saying, "Add your health care premiums and you are really getting paid $60,000 not $54,000". Employees know it but don't know the real cost.
Unions ask for the same health care for ALL unionized employees. I think someone with lots of training doing this and a clerk doing a lot less maybe shouldn't get the same health care? That's just a brutal truth since our government doesn't care to tackle the problem.
But, like VZ's unions did, they screwed future employees for current and retirees. That doesn't make for a happy union eventually.
Small companies lay it on the line with employees--the business can't afford it. This is the cost. How do we do it? We can't unless you pay $300.00 a month in premiums and you make $25,000 in a job that requires really nothing but a high school education.
I know small businesses that are highly specialized and are now just hiring temps for secretarial work. I record my notes and have them transcribed. I dropped temps myself 3 years ago. And, I get 100% quality on the work now that I didn't before. And, it is less money. That is becoming economic reality for most small businesses.
The better computer software gets the less employees will be needed. 10 years ago I wouldn't have dreamed of just talking into a mic and see my notes transcribed right into Word. Soon, I'll be dropping the transcription service.
