[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 828545, member: 60724"] Caymen, C'mon, you are a smart man. The strong-arming takes place because for many unionized companies non-union employees simply cannot be hired, or if they are, as you say, they have to be paid the union wage. Therefore, when it comes to contract negotiations the ability to strike is a huge strong-arm. It is the "collective" that creates the strong arm. I don't understand how you don't get that. I'm no idiot. Trust me. If you don't see unions as a "strong arm", then once again, you simply aren't being objective. If unions and the collective bargaining that they create are not some "strong arm", and if unions are so valuable to companies as you say, then why don't unions simply make their membership optional and allow all members to negotiate their own wages. Then unions simply becomes a "tradesman affiliation". Like a "society of auto workers", with membership optional, and having benefits like training seminars, and trading information. Why NOT just do that? Unions and bad executives have killed the American auto industry. Free market is the way to go. TJR [/QUOTE]
