[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 167844, member: 1346"] I think unions in a manufacturing job are a necessity. Corporate America now wants workers to work 10-12 hours a day six days a week. They don't care about your well being or health, just as long as you can work like a machine. If your body fails, then they will just replace you with another worker. Case in point, I worked at the processing center for the postal service as a PTF (part time flex). We were working six days a week, 56 hours a week, but I was considered part time. (4 ten hours and 2 8's is NOT part time). A part timer does not get 2 days off nor can you turn down the overtime. But it was a good paying job and I couldn't let it go until my health totally failed me. Management refused to turn these jobs into full time regular positions. The unon had to get clock rings and force management into making full time positions. Management was angry about it so they made the full time positions with split days off and days off during the week. What idiots as more mail is processed from monday thru friday than on weekends.
