When I've asked, I get the same response, 'Once we give something up, we'll never get it back'. I don't always agree. Common sense needs to take over at times.J.O.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12180244268084796661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-65157136301105103702011-08-22T10:48:15.170-04:002011-08-22T10:48:15.170-04:00Thank you all for commenting.

Once I went to a meeting as contract negotiations had stalled and it looked as if the union was going to call for a strike. I also went because they fined me if I missed consecutive meetings. Someone introduced a union boss from out of town to address our local members. He came to the podium, leaned into the microphone, and yelled "DO YOU WANT MORE MONE-E-E-E-E-EY?!?!" <br /><br />He got an enthusiastic response and I don't recall ever hearing a rationale to strike when our pay and benefits were 30-35% higher than comparable non-union jobs. <br /><br />That was over 40 years ago.Common Snsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936033792841894514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-28973745471344493872011-08-21T22:38:03.388-04:002011-08-21T22:38:03.388-04:00What usually happens in these cases is that the lo...What usually happens in these cases is that the local all-expenses-paid pension and benfits plan becomes too costly and, the employees are asked to contribute a small amount towards the cost.<br /><br />The union then tells them they'll be getting nothing and, keeps drilling that theme until they all simply repeat it as a reflexive answer.-Sepphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187463448901564093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-44892295640685840422011-08-21T18:37:10.850-04:002011-08-21T18:37:10.850-04:00I for one am tired of being first.

The liberal democrats have gotten quite good at making their scare tactics sound convincing while avoiding the subject of the really stupid, needless programs we spend money on. What bothers me is the stupidity of people to figure this out on their own.Ted Vnoreply@blogger.com
