[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 289998, member: 1399"] I have nothing against any worker making as much as they can, crap I am a Janitor and I have Jobs were I make lots more than the hour wage for the highest paid auto factory worker. If they can get it then more power to them, but what I have said is sometimes they better watch what they push for I hope they get a $100.00 an hour. But I am a realist and know at some point the companies like Ford will break and find a cheaper way to do business. A good union leader knows where this breaking point is and backs off say 20% on their demands. They make sure their members are getting a good wage but also make sure the company makes enough money they feel these workers are worth keeping around. If I pay a guy $10.00 an hour and he comes and demands $15.00 I just might let him go and hire a guy for $9.00 an hour to replace him. But if he comes to me and ask for $12.00 I might just keep him around and hope he appreciates it enough to work hard for me. I think the Unions of today are nothing like the Unions of yesteryear, the Ones like Caustic Mentioned. Kind of like Welfare it started out trying to help people down on luck and then was abused. There are some old time Unions still out there though, read about some Janitorial Unions trying to get workers from $7.50 an hour up to say $10.00 much like the old days, not like the ones trying to get a guy from $60.00 to $70.00 an hour.
