This may not be totally related to the auto industry but oh well. I’m part of a union and there are ups and downs to it (more ups then downs though) I don’t think the Health and Safety standards would be nearly as good as they are without the unions involvement. I have seen first hand companies try to take advantage of there workers (working by yourself in confined spaces, cancelling shifts 2 hours before they start, with no notice)

One thing you also have to remember is that a union and a company (Ford, GM, Us steel) form a collective agreement, it’s not like some guy from the union hall demands $45 an hour to push a broom. Everything is decided by both parties and a fair wage is set.

This is just my .02; it’s getting played out with everyone blaming the CAW union for the fall of the big three.
