Union Time

[keto]

I was part of the union at WJRT until Jason Carr busted it up, then left.

No use for it at EYI since there are only a couple people left.

Such a sad state of affairs. I remember when the Flint Journal went to two days a week for print, Sundays and Thursdays.

Now that the State House has decided to repeal Right to Work, I’d encourage Erik to start a union drive.

Maybe if there was a union, 25-66 mismanagers wouldn’t be allowed to work their employees on all shifts.

And before the Buzzboard trolls come out… try not to twist your logic trying to justify Erik having to work the morning, early evening and late evening newscasts as the station finds excuse after excuse why they can’t keep or find employees…

And when you say no one is forcing him to work at 25-66… I agree. He should quit. But staff should also organize so this crap can’t happen again.

Becky likes to Pat herself on the back about how she got rid of the UAW representation last time. Wondering if she’ll be just as proud to bring them back???

So, you what to pay a group of thugs each month.

Joining a union is like joining an MLM. You get sweet-talked into an arrangement that you’re told is beneficial to you, but only the people on top who suckered the underlings in do well.

M60: I no longer work at 25-66. But if I had to pay union dues to force management to negotiate with the labor force — as opposed to what happened — yes, absolutely. It would be worth the cost considering everyone who was laid off, the worsening work conditions, and the least amount of local news being provided in the station’s recent history. Yes, most of the remaining workers would probably sign up in a heartbeat for fair representation.

Because the union spared so many jobs over the years, right?

I've seen a pattern.

Seems like the same suckers fall for pyramid scams, timeshares, and unions.

Those looking for a shortcut, a "get rich quick" plan, or are just plain gullible seem to get involved in these.

NABET couldn't save jobs at 12. After every sale 12 lost jobs from their unit. They had a layoff clause that really only benefited long time employees. And the company could dance around that clause all day. The payout for for short timers was pitiful.

Remind me again why anyone would want a union.

Reread my previous posts. Find someone to help you sound out the big words.

What, are you pouting now?
It's a legitimate question.
What would a union have done for those layed off?

Taken their money by force.

[keto]

That’s the wrong equation. You should compare 1.5% of a job or 0% with no job.

And if they had paid 1.5% being represented by a union and went to 0% because the union never saves jobs (or provides any value for that matter) they would have lost that 1.5%. So by not paying a union they saved 1.5% while they look for other jobs.

I would love to read a union contract that was drawn up for a new unit.
Im sure it would read,
You will work here until we say you don't.
Anything else?
Sign Here.

The first several pages of union contracts reinforce the policy that nobody represented by the union (by freewill or force) may negotiate on their own behalf.

Union reps protect and enrich themselves, then pretend they help others.

I'm trying to find the difference between unions and HOA's and can't find one.

Oh, unions have more lazy people, and that's about it.

No private organization should be given the power of government, that's exactly what you get with unions.
