You're losing sight of the corporate greed here. It isn't union greed that is asking for a decent wage and that 53% of their jobs aren't outsourced.
Where were you people when the UAL managers who only worked there 2 years were getting the highest wages in the industry at a bankrupt company and taking away 20,30,40 year workers pensions?
When AMR managers were setting up secret retention bonus plans while telling workers that they had no money and were going to have to declare bankruptcy if they didn't take enormous pay cuts?
Nobody is disputing that management should make more money than the workers. Why do they have to ensure that they are taking millions while the companies aren't even making profits and the workers aren't making enough money to live in 90% of the cities in america? Specifically the cities these airlines fly out of.
Does it make sense to EVERYONE that US jobs should be outsourced to foreign workers? What can this possibly mean for the future of america?
I just don't get it.
Yes, the union workers shouldn't be making these comments but you need to understand the disheartening treatment that is fostering these comments and feelings.
