[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't the workers who don't like their conditions go get a different/better job like anyone else would have to do? Oh right, because they already have it damn good and likely wouldn't find a better situation.

Unions are outdated and BS. [/quote]

Does this apply to OP's spouse? Too bad nobody's looking out for them.[/quote]

The current union model is outdated.  Plenty of things about unions today really irk me. But it is not BS to strike if management decides to do away with promised benefits or working conditions.  If a pension was offered to you, and you took that job instead of another job because of that pension, then it is BS for management to take that away without some serious negotiations.

It sucks for OP right now, but it also sucks if management treats employees like perpetual machines.  I don't feel too bad for OP's SO right now.  Like many major utilities the white collar workers often have to pitch in during emergencies and strikes, and that is usually made very clear up front.

What's BS for everyone -- white- and blue-collar workers -- is when management makes everything an emergency and everyone's working around the clock, at full steam, all year round.  It is isn't sustainable, certainly not productive and that effects everyone's bottom line.[/quote]
