I worked in a UAW represented factory for over 20 years. The union definitely gets in the way of productivity and the implementation of new processes. I saw first hand how the union takes an innovative technique and “unionizes” it into an unworkable joke. I have also witnessed people continually abusing drugs and alcohol, usually a small group of the same people. If management actually did try to get rid of them, the union would find a way to get them back in, plus give them back pay and full seniority. Those of us on the line that didn’t need the union’s protection were looked upon as bad by the union. Unions today only exist to coddle bad workers and get in the way of how a company runs its operations. In my 20 years as a UAW member, I never needed the union's help in anything I couldn’t take care of myself. I showed up for work and did my best and followed the rules, for this I was considered a “Suck Ass”. Maybe if the unions would let the big 3 hire more suck asses, they wouldn’t be in the world of hurt they are in now. Oh, I forgot, a plant full of suck asses wouldn’t need a union!
