[QUOTE="Fester, post: 382166, member: 6300"] How do you figure this? Short term wages will be lost but long term wages will be regained. So they lose 2k or 4k or 10k but if they get a larger raise that amount stays with them for long term not just 4 or 5 years..until they retire or leave the company. Look at 3% of 50k. That is what $1,500 a year. Ten years that is 15k, 30 years that is 45k. That's based off of 50k and 3%. The companies will want you to think these unions are dumb for striking cause the amount they lose is more than what they gain but you have to look at this in the long term. That is substantial amount of money. Outsourcing has always been the answer regardless of unions...the companies go where it's cheapest. I know a company that sends its software to India for programming..not because of unions but because it's cheaper then the U.S.A. and yes it creates a mess when it gets back...its absolutely horrible...but hey it was cheap.
