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 Dad used to work for a utility company and I remember him telling me about when he attended a training course for a day in Houston and during a morning break the men went to a break room. When entering the room he was told the non union break room was down the hall. What he noticed in the union break room was a table full of pastries, Houston Chronicle news papers at every table, juice, bottle water and soda on ice and coffee dispensers full of coffee. When he entered the non union break room there was a coffee maker which they made coffee themselves and a vending machine.
I can understand that. With the non-union group, who was in charge of the break refreshments? And paid for them? Should the non-union workers be allowed to free-load?
Another aspect is if it was at a hotel conference room. Most hotel conferences I have booked come with those kind of things as a part of the package. This kind of stuff is generally supplied at all training seminar's I have been to that lasted a day. If this were the case, then the union guys would be dicks for not sharing something that was free.
This was a safety training class and the facility was the utility company’s.
