said by pnh102:What is the downside of working without a contract while negotiations continue? Do union workers lose certain pay or benefits as a result of working without a contract or are the expired contract terms in place until a new contract is agreed upon?
I would imagine that if the latter is true, then why threaten to strike and not have anyone get paid as a result of going on strike? I would imagine that any strike threat also does nothing more than to inspire management to come up with more creative ways to replace workers down the road.
Wait till congress forces them back to work... Thats what happens to us every 5 years... Contract expires, company wont negotiate in good faith... We still have to work.
