> people will blame unions
I think if you join a Union and demand unreasonable benefits for the skill required for a profession, then you’re responsible for the company’s collapse too.
I don’t think I could drive a big rig, it is a skilled labor profession; so what I’m not saying is ‘anyone could do that job’, but it is a job that can be trained for in a shorter amount of time than say an xray tech in a hospital.
What blows my mind is Unions in the USA often bite hard on the hand that feeds them, when it doesn’t need to be this way. The Union should work with the board to improve profits. Why there isn’ta symbiotic relationship is so strange.
