| A lot of interesting personal anecdotes in this discussion.
For me it comes down to this - Bach is the most profitable sector of an incredibly profitable coorporation. There was no good reason to cut wages and benefits. Just greed.
I get weary seeing people dog on the union as if it's to blame for slacker workers. I've seen slacker workers in every single job I've ever had. Companies should deal with that by hiring better workers in the first place. There will always be people who take advantage of protections - that doesn't make the protections wrong in principle. |
