These guys never learn. The UAW is probably the last dinosaur of a union that will never wake up and smell the coffee.
They had 8,000 workers at GE, Cincinnati, OH making jet engines in the height of the '80s. Right now, GE is building far more engines per day than the previous heyday. But, guess what........the 8,000 workers are down to about 800 and the work is being done by non-union technicians in Durham, NC who are paid
more than the dinosaurs. GE currently builds an engine at 50% of the cost of the previous UAW labor in Cincinnati. Why? Because they get 8 hours work from a technician...........they got about 4 hours work........maximum..........from the union.
If I was the President of that union, I'd be bending over backwards with work rule concessions and other changes to help the company survive and make some money. Naturally, these ass-clowns are too retarded for that.
