said by hottboiinnc:the thing is fair means different things to different people. To me I don't see how it is fair for a company to pay the entire cost of someone's health insurance? Why should they?
it is NOT fair for the union or any employee to ask that their employer to pay for it all. but then you have the greedy unions who think it is fair only to sell someone else out later.
EHHH a President to force you back to work? Bush would but you can bet Qwest would start locking out these unions and make them either work non-union or start hiring new ones.
Try responding to my post on another thread, where I point out that the tax code incentivizes companies to provide employee health care (all expenses are pre-tax, for example). And believe me, it's not about greed. If it was, CWA would have 'stopped the clock' on the existing contract, in order to continue to collect dues. By letting the contract expire, the Union can no longer collect dues until a new contract is in place (all moot now as a tentative agreement exists).
