I work at a third party logistics provider handling returnable containers for a UAW manufacturing plant here in the good ol' USA. I can honestly say my sympathy for the UAW workers has reached absolute zero. The UAW does serve a purpose, but the way they are trying to handle these issues is the equivalent of a child throwing a temper tantrum. If I can't have what I want, then I'm just gonna whine and cry and make everyone's life miserable until I get what I want. My facility is non-union and across the street from the plant. As part of the negotiation "practices" they are now urinating in the containers that come across the street to us and throwing razor blades in them.
I'm not anti-union per say, I'm just frustrated at how they don't seem to understand how they affect society as a whole. If they strike, me and my co-workers and possibly the suppliers don't get paid (no union strike fund). Furthermore, if the plant closes I lose my job.
Now I'm all good with losing my job....but if something like this impacts me getting a Camaro next March I'm really gonna get PO'd!
