The truth is somewhere in the middle. Striking is part of the process. If you don't like unions at least try not to be dicks about the individual members. As others have stated they are mostly hard working people just trying to make a living.
They will work it out some how because the alternative is not acceptable to either party.

In the case of the engineer in my story, he was a guy who spent years getting his hands dirty, so he was one of the good ones. He also had detailed firsthand knowledge about how the union crew had performed on various types of tasks before, so his caution was warranted. None of this stuff was "normal" or "run of the mill" - each and every thing was a unique "one off" design, so there was never an opportunity for repetition to improve training.

On deadline, needed IT work on some computers, IT guy is in sight, had to call an 800 number and it was handled the next day. By that time I simply handled it so my subordinate was able to meet the deadline. Another: This is now live news TV, ABC News. Guy is paid to push a button for the graphics to go up. Guy falls asleep, assistant Director goes to them after multiple calls to the PA who babysits the button guy. So she reaches over and presses the button to ensure the graphic goes up while this union guy is asleep. Seamless. Guy wakes up after, files a complaint and the PA is fired. Unions have no business in the private sector (government), but the few private companies who still endure this, are at their mercy, unable to innovate, unable to compete. When was the last time Toyota had to be bailed out by a government? $100K per year plus a huge pension to screw in a light bulb. So, check me off on the whole union thing, as they are corrupt, they provide zero in the way of any benefits to the companies mission and they could care less if the company can survive. So all the best on your 1920's style "strike"

Absolutely!!! Ask any carpenter who has tried to follow a blueprint.

What's really stopping GM from simply hiring anyone who wants to work back as non-union? You want a job stamping door skins all day? Here's $16.50/hr, non- union, whether you worked for GM for 25 years or 1 year. Your pay will now be commensurate with your job performance, attendance, and skill level. So the UAW files a lawsuit...... they don't have that kind of muscle anymore.

You're part of the problem. God forbid people want to raise a family with good benefits when a corporation makes 10.8 billion dollars in profit in 2018. Yes billion!!! I hope you're a 1%'er because if not you're on the wrong side buddy |

People post this then complain about the price of new vehicles.

How much a company earns in profit is largely irrelevant to how much its employees should earn. How much an employee earns should be a function of his/her education, experience, and skill. Many factory jobs involve repetitive labor that requires only a low to moderate skill set. One should not demand or expect to earn $35+ per hour (plus benefits) for a position that should reasonably pay $15 to $20 per hour depending on its location.

On a 147 billion of revenue... 10.8 pre tax profits is not that impressive. Maybe they need to save for a rainy day..
