Driving to Extinction

UAW Agreement May Shut Down 2 GM Plant
The moves are the downside of job security pledges that the UAW won in the negotiations, including commitments for new products at 16 plants.
This is a hot topic for so many Americans because so many of us are members of a Union. I am not, so I suppose I may be biased. In my experience though, with friends and family the Union has little merit in today’s workforce and I do speak from a professional opinion as I am a Career & Employment Specialist for DOL.
The Union had a place in society in the past as the conditions in so many jobs were not good for the workers, but there are more than enough OSHA laws on the books to keep that from being a problem any more. It seems to me that the only ones that benefit any more are the Union leaders and officials.
I guess the Common Sense thing for me is that if you feel you need more money or a better job - Go find a new one!
