Unions have their upsides and downsides ... Better-than-average pay, job security, medical benefits, etc. being the upsides. I know my dad wouldn't be making $100,000/year if he weren't in a union.

Of course, it really sucks when your union goes on strike when you need the money and it's arguable that the job security has made some workers lazy.

What happened to Steve ?

From what I have been reading, his company went on strike a while back. And just a few pages ago said something about there being no end in sight. It started making me wonder more, If the company doesnt care and is still making money what is the eccentive of even negotiating with the workers right now. Which is why it made sense that they made the stipulation they would negotiate without a mediator, so they could screw the workers possibly, thats where I start not to understand what goes on. Contracts and all that.

I know Unions often have the upper hand and end up pushing the company to pay them probably more than they deserve. My dad works at a mill where they have almost 1200 employees and the average pay is almost $70,000/year ... Just doing some quick math, that's $84 million on the payroll for a small-town (20,000 residents) pulp and paper mill ... Reducing average pay by $1/hour would save the company about $2.6 million/year.

I don't know what Steve's situation is, but it is possible his company is just unwilling to give that extra $1/hour ... or benefits ... or whatever ... because it would save them a lot of money. As you know, in this day and age, it's all about the bottom-line ...

See, what you just said makes what my roomate's father said make more sense. He really hates the union. And he also says, just like you said, that they ask for things that they dont need or deserve....constantly. Which is why he made the work ethic comment.

"Nicole, there's a man in your flat."

LOL, the British ... do they react normally to anything ?

North American response - "Who the fudge is that ?" or "What the fudge, female dog ?"

Feel free to add some more "normal" responses ...
