GM Strike
How does everyone feel about all the GM union members on strike placing nails and screws out onto the streets that their customers who keep them employed drive on? Causing damage to multiple vehicles....

My personal experience is that our pooled dues were put to good use when we hired an experienced arbitrator to stand for us in contract negotiations. We got way more than we could have without a hired gun, money well spent.
I'm glad that you had good experiences with your union arbitrations and they went well. The place that I worked at was bought out by a Canadian company in 2007 and after that point there wasn't an arbitration win by the union employees. Hmmm, wonder how that happens.
We gave up our pension plan to keep our job. We took wage and benefit cuts to keep our job. A lot of us were laid off for years and a lot lost their recall rights. We did have a retiree medical expense account that helped out with our medical bills but that recently got taken away from us. Supposedly there was an arbitration on this very thing back in 2012 and we lost. No one knew about it until recently when the company told us that. The then vice-president says that he didn't even know anything about the arbitration. Can you smell a rat?
