[quote=CA renter]You had one experience with a union in a single company, based on your earlier postings about the topic. I worked for a group of tech companies for over six years, one of which outperformed (for one year) one of the largest blue-chip tech companies at the time.[/quote]
Actually, I’ve worked at about 8-10 different companies and interned at a few defense companies (with unionized engineers), and one non profit that was contracted with the USAF…And I totally understand what it means when a “non-profit” company that operates on a “$0 budget” with a unionized engineering team does to productivity….especially when suddenly congress shrinks the budget, and suddenly the company needs to actually compete with other for-profit companies. Not a pretty picture…One of the reasons why I would never be caught dead working in a defense company (along with a long long list of other reasons..But that’s a separate issue)..
Hey, I didn’t see you comment on the post about Long Island Power? Care to?
You know CAR, I don’t have any issues with “reasonable” worker’s right…But you would have to be blind into seeing that some unions (not necesarily members of them) are basically extortionists now..
