i agree for some private sector workers the public sector unions improves pay/working conditions.
union organizers have targetted low to mid-range skilled workforces in infrastructure, government. they have little luck in any competitive industry.
unions have zero luck with fast food, restaurant workers. Tell me how much is McDonald’s worker going to make if he/she is unionized. please pick a hourly wage.
I agree that the auto industry’s management is lot to be desired. they agreed to pay the unions benefits that are not sustainable. Ever wonder why big three invested more in SUVs over compact cars ?
Which smart management graduate would want to work for the auto industry ? Would you ?
Unions delay the inevitable when they demand unsustainable benefits. I have seen it with the airline pilots and auto workers. You will see it with rest of the auto workers and government workers tomorrow.
