Caymen, this simply isn't true. If Ford could have gotten rid of the UAW, it would have. They've all but said that. Ford is an employer, and it can not eliminate a union.
I disagree. The UAW was formed because of the treatment employees recieved in the past and memories die hard, very hard.
Just because a mass of people behave does not mean you lay off your security force. Your security force keeps people in line. Without your secuirty force, the people will misbehave. It may take days, weeks, or even years. This is what being human is all about.
I'm going to assume that you didn't mean it this way, but this sentence says that people of color aren't men. Not true, of course, but still I found the faux pas funny.
Yes, you are correct. I did not intend to mean it this way. All people of color are human beings and men & women. Thanks for noticing that.
I still believe that if employers treated people with the dignity and respect, unions would fail on their own. People do not like seeing a CEO get a mega bonus while being completely out of touch with its workers.
Ever watch the show "Undercover Boss"? It is amaging seeing the attitude of the CEO's and other senior managment from the start and with it change at the end of the show. The CEO of Belfor (I think that was the name of the company) say he is looking for those employees that are working side jobs. he found a guy doing side jobs, but it was brought on by the CEO and his cost cutting measures that made the employee do side jobs. What he thought was best for the company was putting the company at risk and he made changes that helped the employees while helping the company.
I love that show and DVR it every week.
When I got my ST back in 2002, the president of the company made the comment "looks like we are paying you too much". I turned it around on him and said "yea, you are right. I only deserve to live in the ghetto with my parents until the day I die". Later that day, he called me into the office and told me he was sorry for what he said. I warned him of comments like that and pointed out that with the qualifications I have, I should be paid more than I currently am. Shortly later, I recieved a substatial raise in my hourly rate of pay.
At another lab, a woman was making more than the rest of the guys with more qualifications than she had. Their excuse was that she had to drive further than they did.
I don't buy that BS. punish those guys for living closer to work than someone else? Seriously and you see no problems with that?
