that was all the union reps wanted they could of cared less for the members they were getting $35 a month from...
In every case where I had to fire an employee the union contract made it much easier to do than the non union one.. and the union reps rarely ever disputed a firing..
so yes I have disdain for union officials and frankly anyone that thinks that unions got hem anything extra than what the company was going to give them in the first place is probably thinking there is still a Santa Claus..
In some cases they got less that what was budgeted..
I had a crew strike my operations in Syracuse NY was out for more than 3 weeks wound up settling for a nickle less an hour than the final offer was..
all the while the lost three weeks of wages.. and my business was never better .. had businessmen going out of their way to do business with us..
Yes I think union reps are blood suckers..

lies.....................pure and simple..............you think for one minute anybody believes a union employee is easier to fire than a non union
employee ? Just happens to be one of the founding principles of unionization.............you can't just fire someone arbitrarily.
