i agree with 10w. What have these companies to be scared of? certainly not its employees, who have shown time and time again that they are willing to accept any load of horse manure.
The times of our union once being a strong united force have gone. It began with the banding issue which drove the initial, yet significant wedge, and has continued with the nerl/nsl split,Working together, aava agreement, soal agreement etc etc.. All of these may have had minor detrimental effects on our terms and conditions on their own, but they have suceeded in removing the power the union once had, a united front. All that we have shown is that we will accept anything put to us , as long as there is a potential short term financial gain .
