Re: Cheap skates
Agree. However they get to keep their jobs and that's a big accomplishment these days. |

| Well it is an accomplishment but it isn't because the company is so successful.Its only natural that the employees that help it be so successful should get a fair share. They shouldn't just settle for keeping a job unless they work for a failing company or one that does not turn billions of profit. I hope they never settle for just being employed. Settling for anything less than what you deserve is selling yourself short. |

Well, lets see how many actually 'keep' their jobs over the year. |

said by en102  :Well, lets see how many actually 'keep' their jobs over the year. My job is protected from layoffs. If a layoff if announced they layoff the people with the lowest seniority first. So the longer I'm there the less chance I have to be laid off. Even before that happens they have to offer another job inside the company and my pay is protected. If these conditions cant be met and I'm actually laid off I will get payed for the life of the union contract by the union or until rehired by the company. What non union job offers those protections? |

| I envy you, I used to work in IT, and unions are mostly non-existent. I left the field, gonna do somthing else. Too many hours and not enough fair pay, no overtime, and no job protection. They just kept adding more and more responsibilities, making me work nights and weekend and on call for free, so I left. |

Not a bad deal - until the company itself is imploding due to such contracts. |
