Probably the most intelligent statement I've seen on this subject in a long time. Unions aren't the problem, but they aren't helping, either. I had a grievance filed on me because I came in on a Saturday to clean machines after everyone in the department refused the OT to do the same thing. There's going to be a tipping point in this country soon with regards to labor. A lot of them are starting to lean right, and the left is pretty pissed about that. Labor is one of the reasons Trump won. CEO pay is another. When I worked at Cat as a machinist, the CEO made 375x more than me in a year. Their answer to bad times? Get rid of me. They could have paid the entire shop for almost two years (with benefits) with what they payed Oberhelman.
