Actually, it does when it comes to how unions play "dirty" and then cry foul when the same tactics are used against them. |

It was the Teamsters and every other union came to an agreement and one union that didn't want to play ball. So instead of a pay cut, they get a pink slip and a guarantee that the union will not be welcome IF someone takes over and starts the company back up again.
Also, when you "modernize" you usually have less people doing jobs that become more automated and unions hate that.
Try again. |

Didn't need fixing. |

| Actually, it did. My mother is a big union supporter and she worked management. One day, during negotiations with the union, a union rep was given a contract to look over. He read it, put it down, pulled out a Colt 1911 .45 caliber handgun, placed it on the table and said, "Let's get down to real talks." Management looked at each other and calmly walked out of the room and declared a lockout. Took a week but the next union thug agreed to the contract that was left on the table. This was back in 1977. Some things don't change. |
