So, to bring this back from the dead, does the fact that these workers accepted a decrease in pay less than 12 months ago and now the company has eliminated a shift at the plant change what you said earlier?
Pay decreases in an existing environment don't change the enivitable circumstance for a plant. Only when major changes come to a plant with the reduced wages are long term goals for all achieved. The company achieved savings while the workers were screwed over. Unfortunately, the union was of little help.
And Nef, directed at you. Your comment about accepting the pay cut or unemployment. Has your comment changed now that a third shift has been cut and over 1000 people are on EI? The cut in wages changed nothing IMO.

TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
