I didnt say to leave when things got bad, I said if you tried to improve things and cant, or you dont like the wages or benefits, or have tried to work with a poor maanger or leader, You Have a Choice.

There are thousands of "long running businesses" in this country.

WHY?

Because they treat employees with respect and dignity

These Employees have an effective dispute resolution system (not a grievence system which is extremly ineffcient) to insure the consistent application of polices, and procedures.

Employees have significant input into their jobs and business decisions ( I didnt say 'make all the decsions')

Employees are paid a competitive wage and benefit package (This doesnt mean 'parity' with the industry)

In my experience and opinion most of the great places to work are non union. Management creates a workforce where employees have no reason to seek third party intervention.


And what about the "highly paid highly educated (?) union executives? Whats their responsibility to fix the "mess". And why arent the union employees throwing those bums out since they cant deliver or perform to help the cause?
