My father worked for General Motors, actually Delco Electronics which is now Delphi. I saw first hand the arrogance of union employees and the leadership. My father was management in their engineering department, and not union. His team was held accountable for results and innovation. We saw people use drugs on the line, on the line, and get reinstated by the union. I saw strikes bring the city to a crawl that had nothing to do with working conditions. If someone wants to get paid more for doing the same job they are dillusional. Educate yourself, train yourself, move up or into a different job that pays more for the experience and ability of the worker. I also have past family members that were union employees in the can/steel industry. I've never heard more whining in my life about how they don't get their fair share. Bullshit. They get paid for what they do. A company is under no obligation to an employee to continually increase their wage, yet everyone thinks it should work that way. Also, if our tax system is so bad, why are major foreign manufacturers opening plants inside the U.S.? Why are they more profitable than American companies? If you can't figure it out, you have no business being in the discussions. Just collect your paycheck and go buy a 12 pack.
