[QUOTE="skyline, post: 596616, member: 5305"] I guess I can see both sides of this issue. I definitely understand and appreciate what organized labor has done to advance safety standards and the quality of life for the workers. On the other hand, I think that unions can become too greedy and can be used to hold a company hostage. The question is what should a union's response be to a severe downturn in a company? I would suggest that management ought to be the first to belly up and forgo bonuses (especially if American tax dollars are being used in any way to benefit the company). But.... if the unions want to save jobs, they should quickly follow with cost saving measures on their part. They shouldn't expect to have it both ways. They shouldn't demand more, demand more, and demand more, and then just sit by and let the company go broke without trying to be part of the solution. I feel just as strongly that executive pay in this country is way out of control. I think this downturn should serve as a reality check for everybody. [/QUOTE]
