Okay I can see that, but a number of years ago, the local Teamsters union (a truckers union) came in and persuaded the employees of the Preston 151 Line to allow them in and within 8 weeks, the company went under.
I can understand unions for public servants like teachers, police and fire fighters. But what happens when a union comes into a publicly traded company, makes ridiculous demands and then the company goes under because it can't afford to keep up with the demands of the union workers? Or, worse yet - union employees decide to not do their jobs. Shipyard employees in New Jersey do this. I've seen it myself and they act lazy and hold up drivers who have to get their trucks loaded.
How can we make things better for everyone involved so that no one can take advantage of either side?
