hour. Please call Berge Ford and let them know that this is not acceptable!

Thus: the unions remain powerless, wages remain low, and employers have a
clear cut upper hand in any dealings with employees. This is also why people
with Masters degrees are working as clerks @ $8 per hour. Think of job
seeking here as an auction in reverse. You are asked for a resume (WITH
salary history). Low bid wins!
    You have a right to work in Az, but at the cost of a right to a fair
wage, and the representation a union gives. WELCOME TO ARIZONA..........DALE

in my opinion bugs ain't supposed to have hair. ;-)

Sarcasm. It means that in a job without union representation you don't 
have strength in
numbers. You are on your own and can only pay for legal help and only 
win if you can prove a flagrant violation of the law.

Actually we're not as provincial as we used to be. People are starting 
to drink
mixed drinks and cocktails. There are a couple stores that sell fresh 
seafood. We have Seattle and Starbucks coffee bars, and Eistein bagels. 
People are friendlier because we have concealed weapons permits.
It takes three years to find a decent job. If you come here and 
immediately find a good job, odds are you'll be fired soon.

Horseshit........it is called supply and demand.    A frikkkin masters
degree does not enitlte oneself to any given income.

Bull, if people were so abused, then they would all join the union.......the
fact is they aren't and the unions cannot artificially raise wages beyond
what thew market bears.

Most people in Arizona who have no knowledge of labor relations or 
contracts think
much as you do. What you do think you know is not germain to labor 
relations.

Obviously you don't have an advanced degree in labor relations. A 
Masters Degree entitles many things.

Arizona is a great place to work, once you remember the magic phrase, "want
fries with that?" And yes, a "frikkkin" master degree entitles you to
something.

     2)So what?  My past payrates have absolutly nothing to do with applying
for a job. I also consider this to be private information. Often these
employers will find they get what they pay for. If you choose to think "less
is more" more power to you. ( or less as THAT seems to make you happy) You
get what you pay for IF you are lucky.

     3)Why join this union? They right to strike is gone and the union
cannot afford to help you. In Az, a union is REQUIRED to assist anyone, who
asks for help, even if they are NOT members. This is a great way to keep
unions from having any real power or even the money to fight for you.

        Summation: I am NOT  as PRO-union as one would think. Unions have
their problems too. But the way business is done in Az, I wonder if regular
unions might be better. The right to work, as a phrase, sounds great. But
the reality is less than perfect. No one is crying abuse, cept the Lady who
was fired for being pregnant.
And I for one agree that she was abused!

                                   Just my 2 cents!       DALE

A degree entitles you to nothing except the paper you hang on the wall.

Feel free not to supply it, and employers are free to call or not call you.
Free hint for the clueless.....time is valuable, why would anybody want to
waste time interviewing someone that currently makes 20k more than they are
prepared to pay for the position.

Not always true....since guvmint continues to artificially raise wages via
the minimum wage.

Actually, I am educated beyond my intelligence.
Labor relations was brought about by the passing of the Management
Rights Act, or Labor Relations Act,etc. It allowed collectibe 
bargaining, with exceptions for certain professions or trades, ie, farm 
workers, doctors and nurses. If a majority of workers are polled and 
want a union, they vote for which union. It has to be a union 
representative of the trade. For example, truckers = a teamsters union. 
Shoemakers, a union familiar with boot or shoe manufacture and factory 
workers.
When the union chapter is formed, it is only of those workers who fit in 
a like union. Factory maintenance or electricians would need a separate 
union than the bootmakers. Once established, the union leaders and 
management are REQUIRED to negotiate on three things: Hours, Wages, and 
Benefits, no more, no less. The contract is negotiated and agreed by 
management and ratified by the union workers, and signed. All contracts 
contain an anti strike clause. During the contract strikes are not 
allowed. Each party agrees to meet several months before the end of the 
contract expiration to renew or renegotiate. If management or union let 
the date of expiration slip by, and both parties agree,  the old 
contract is usually good for another contract period. If eather side is 
acting in bad faith, there could be a strike or lockout. A strike 
without union approval is a wildcat strike.
In contract negotiations, either side may attempt to add or subtract 
something other than hours, wages, or benefits. For example, labor may 
want covered parking spaces or better washroom facilities. Management 
may want to require car pooling, or require people to eat lunch on the 
premises. If anything is added to the contract it is required to be 
negotiated in each subsequent contract negotiations.
The problem is that depending on the demographics of the union, they may
negotiate away one item for a consession on another. Maybe give away 
dental benefits for higher wages. Maybe give away part of a raise to 
gain 401k contributions.
Management may agree to build a lunchroom to keep from increasing the 
starting wage of new employees.
When management tries to take advantage of employees, or break the 
contract, the union as a unit, with the financial resources of all the 
workers dues, and assistance from the national union will attempt to set 
things right. It could be settled by management, go to a federal 
mediator, or a federal arbitrator, who are federal judges per se. This 
gets expensive for both sides.
Anything that is not covered in a union contract that would violate law 
or the Labor Act, could be an Unfair Labor Practice, filed with the 
Labor Relations Board., and may be filed by the union, or any individual 
employee not in a union, or where no union is present.
This is where Berge Ford Allegedly screwed up. They may have violated 
federal law. Oops.

A masters degree at the least, permits a person to teach at the college 
level.
Seldom will a University or College higher anyone with a masters degree. 
  Education beyond a masters will increase a teacher's salary. Let's put 
that aside for a minute. You may be highly qualified and earn much more 
with experience and no advanced degree. People with degrees do get 
defensive.

Right to strike. Most contracts have a no strike clause, but strikes are 
quite
possible after contract expiration. All contracts to be legal, must have a
an expiration date.
Unions are required to help people to the extent it doesnt cost money. 
Once an attorney is required for the employee, or it goes to mediation 
and an outside mediator or arbitrator is needed, the employee must foot 
the bill if they are not union members. Almost all will join the union 
at that point. If the person doesn't join and proceeds, they better be 
wealthy, and management will take it to that level, knowing the employee 
will have to give up.
Lots of people cry abuse, which is why unions work, and state and 
federal investigators are kept busy.
Any individual in his/her own business works with a contract. That is 
from the solo roofer to Rush Limbaugh and Larry King. Rush decries 
unions, but he has a contract, and you can bet it's negotiated by 
attorneys, and his earnings increase each period. It's the same with 
common workers. They don't have an international presence or fan club, 
so they bond together for mutual job security.
People point to Detroit, and say that the wages of the workers reached a 
point of putting them out of work. This is probably true, when measured 
against the cost of labor to build a Ford in Mexico or South America.
But... this occurred when prices of cars was half of what they cost now.

Actually you are the one that needs the seminar......since you seem to be so
dense......Contract ends......the contracted labor walks out, do they allow
the former employer to operate peaceful as is the former employer's right?
Hell no......We' won't even start on strikes during a contract.

Now lets use your A/C example........the difference being the guy is dumped
because of incompetence, theft, not performing the work on time etc etc.
He then blockades the business and prevents it from operating..and the
guvmint backs them up........I know all about unions,

BTW...thank you for proving my point....your comment that unions attempt to
protect its members from being replaced by lower wage  employees is exactly
artificially increasing the cost of labor.    What is the moral difference
of all the supermarkets getting together and setting the price of milk at
$10.00 a gallon......the brain dead unionists would be the first to pitch a
fit.

No, I said he was fired because the business owner found someone

amount.

No it is not artificial. It is real wage. It is not more money but it is 
not less. The employee also does not have the right to tell managemet 
what product to make or how much to charge. they have no idea of the 
profit or loss.

price fixing is illegal. Negotiating for hours, wages and benefits is 
set forth in federal law. The brain dead unionist are the reason you 
only have to work 8 hours a day, and have Saturday and Sunday off, a 40 
hour work week and paid holidays. The unionists are also responsible for 
  getting you hospital benefits, death benefits and retirement. Do you 
think this was all gained by people who kiss management on the cheek? 
The people who have these benefits, won through labor negotiations over 
the years, and denounce organized labor are freeloaders, or scabs as 
they are commonly known. In fact, federal law has allowed unions to 
refer to these freeloaders as scabs as a proper name.

Same thing that the union does about wages..( a rose by any other
name)....if you cannot see that, you are too sense to bother continuing

<snicker>   you really are clueless......take a look around sometime and see
how many "union" folks are working sat, sun  and more than 8 hours a
day......but then where your head is, the sun doesn't shine.

Yeah, don't you hate when the cow asks for payment? LOL  Ah, some women
think a ring on a finger makes a difference, or they have strong values, but
then again if they had really strong values they wouldn't have premarital
sex but then who'd want to buy a car without a test drive? Of course that's
JMO. ;)

Pretty presumptuous to make the sex assumption isn't it?

Now to parse a little further......calling women "cows"  Aren't you afraid
of the rather of the feminists for that?   LOL
Then around here....the ring on the finger can make the difference......all
those Canadian women heading  north across the border in search of a green
card   ;-)   BTW.....I just bought a car without a test drive    ;-)

LMAO  yeah you need more coffee.  Never heard the saying "Why buy the cow
when you can get the milk for free"? ;)

And the "M" word makes my throat constrict so I won't be heading south (oh
you can go sooo many ways with that statement, man what's wrong with me
today?  The mind's heading for the gutter more than usual... I almost
replied to the comment Mumcave with a sick reference. LOL  *sigh* I need a
vacation)

And what kind of car did you buy?  And you didn't take it for a test drive?
Making the salesman turn green is half the fun... ;)
