Germany and Japan have some of the strongest unions in the world. Obviously the produce superior products.

Sorry you are unhappy, are we supposed to only post pro-union messages?

Study how the unions work in Germany, the German Dept of Labour can void a contract if it does not lead to productivity gains. The makes the Germans very good. The UAW is anything but a source of productivity, with such former issues as being paid for not working in the jobs bank pools.

Old union joke at GM, how many union members did it take to change light bulb? Five, 1 electrician to turn off the power, 1 equipment resource person to get the light bulb, 1 equip set up specialist to erect the ladder, 1 ladder climbing rigger to climb the ladder and install the light bulb, and 1 Hazardous Waste disposal technician to dispose of the old light bulb. How many at a Toyota plant? The guy who saw it burned out. It was the 76 worker classifications that the union demanded that added to the demise by increasing over head cost compared to the non-union competition. BTW I really don?t care what anyone does, but they should be exposed to both sides

You've claimed this before, and I'm calling BS. I can't find any evidence of this being in German labor law.

The UAW is anything but a source of productivity, with such former issues as being paid for not working in the jobs bank pools.

The jobs bank was a result of management outsourcing all of their jobs to Mexico. The UAW retaliated by threatening to strike if a jobs bank wasn't created in their next contract.

What you never understand is that militant unionism doesn't pop out of thin air. It is the result of years of management abuse. Companies get the unions that they deserve.

I wish I could reference it, but this came from my busienss law class when discussing contracts. That was over 30 years ago.
 
How many military trained pilots does it take to fly an airplane? ONE,,, and about 30 enlisted men to actually make it happen. There's a good reason civilian contractors fly most of the heavy but essential cargo for the military. Because those socialist military pilots can't fly weather without all of that backup.
 
lol ^^^ shoulda let thread die :p

Do you have thread confusion, doesn't this belong someeplace else?

BTW I didn't have 30 enlisted men helping me, I only had 10, plus three other officers, shows what you know.:p

If you can't find a reference, then it almost certainly doesn't exist.

maybe you research it for me and prove me wrong, could you do that?

I already searched and couldn't find anything similar to that, so I'm pretty sure I already have proved you wrong.
 
Most unions have outlived their usefulness and have become nothing more than businesses supporting their executive leaderships monetary desire. Look at the salaries of ALPA union leadership and support staff versus the pilots.

ALPA sucks balls...
 
ALPA became a country club for young republicans years ago. They only support union activities when it's convenient and ignore picket lines of other unions.

I wish I could disagree with this, but it's pretty much true under the current administration. Thankfully Moak is on his way out, and there is a much better alternative being offered who would shift the union back towards actually acting like a union instead of the A4A's servant boy.

Alpa is what it's members allow it to be

But I do wonder who benefits when it becomes this and when members believe it
 
Most of the problems with aviation can be directly tied to the voting habits of most pilots. In 2000, 75% of the political campaign donations from AA pilots went to bush and republicans who used their positions to destroy labour when ever possible. Now, why should I ever respect an AA picket line?

Is that a serious conclusion you come to?

A fair and accurate critique- highly paid union workers not supporting their career politically-
But you're saying you should be able to scab bc of it?

Go ahead and try it maru
