This is no rant...just a question....if NWA is willing to replace it's "overpaid" and "lazy" union workers....what's gonna stop them from replaceing YOU in a couple of years with other "lower-paid" green card workers that will work for less than you do now ??? I wouldn't go buying cars and making babies if I were you... one way or the other....you're going out the door to... either you'll be forced out when AMFA comes back....or someone from "south of the border" will be up here replacing "YOU" when "YOU" become the so-called "high-paid lazy workers"......
THAT is why there NEEDS to be unions....cause crappy little evil companies like NWA will ALWAYS be looking to fatten the "fat-cats" wallets at YOUR/OUR expense. There is ALWAYS someone at the bottom looking to replace you at lower wages...What good is replaceing workers if YOU'RE just gonna be replaced a few years down the road ????? What kind of life is that for you...or ANY of us... Unions provide continuity....You can BUY a house...you can SEND your kids to college... you can PROVIDE for your retirement.... cause you know your gonna BE there a few years down the road...
I'm not saying that unions are the "best" alternative.....a mutual respect between employers and employees would CERTAINLY be the way you would want it in a "Utopian" world....BUT NWA (and all companies like it) are a REALITY !!! And the only way to fight fire is with fire....and like them or not...strong "unified" unions are the ONLY way to do that....
