Some sectors need the union influence. Your argument is god only if companies/employers are honest and play by the rules. The UBC (brotherhood of carpenters) is strong around here and they go out of their way to protect both union and non union workers. Time and time again they have fought for workers that have gotten screwed by contractors. Mis-classification of workers, with holding wages and or workers rights, safety issues etc. can be a problem in the trade. I dont see any non-union workers on state funded jobs complaining about their pay check at the end of the week (prevailing wage jobs). That is, if their employer pays it out like they are supposed too. Often they do not. The trade is MUCH safer because of the union and the workers are generally more skilled. On the flip side, what comes off of the top of our pay for our health, ins, annuity, pension, and dues would make you puke. Obviously, cost of union construction is higher than non union scabbs.

Thank you.
It's amazing how one Union which is vilified by the media becomes the stereotype for all unions...

For years it was solely the UAW's fault....Only recently have the eyes been pointed elsewhere as well. The media is a fickle mistress....Gone are the days of unbiased reporting as far as politics is concerned.

As fa as that politician in question: You guys all need to learn to play nicely.

After 3rd shift elimination: No OT, 4 day work weeks, no more 401K match, no more quarterly incentive program, etc... Meanwhile they don't take any cuts, still work 5 days a week salaried, etc...(and that includes the 3rd shift supervisor)

As for the automakers, they best be crossing their fingers.

Appears I've spoke too soon. 3rd Supe was let go yesterday, along with some others from "upstairs". Can you tell we're all on edge in today's daily mess? Blizzard today doesn't help much either. I need sun!!:flame:

I did a little "research" on that story and here's what I came up with:

Quote

Go to the original link ...

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...ascar_car_news

Note the following:
1. Just to the right of the Motorsports banner, it reads that this is 7 of 210.
2. Click on the 'Previous' button to go to Article #6. Note that the counter now reads "6 of 209".
3. Click on the "Next" button, and you'll see that NOW article #7 is "We Drive a Honda F1 Car", and this article is showing as 7 of 209.

It's a gag.

I think it's an APRIL FOOLS gag... just google "JARED GALL" (the author) and you'll see his other April fools gags he's done while at Car and Driver.

I'm not so sure it's a gag Speed TV forum is reporting the same thing and also something about it in Business Week. Just Google GM out of Nascar.
