Same old argument. Union workers blame mgmt and mgmt blames union workers.
You must be a union laborer. How much do you make? How much does your
company's owner makes? I bet he makes at least 3 times more than you, and I
would also bet he doesn't work nearly as hard as you do. Why don't you go
into his office tomorrow and tell him he's making too much money.

Many of you are ignorant to the fact that mgmt has virtually no job
security. They may canned the next morning without explanation. Yet on the
other hand lazy incompetent union workers are virtually impossible to can.
No, I'm not in mgmt. No job security there.
