Message: [QUOTE="jetwash, post: 665548, member: 3436"] You seem to misunderstand that if for example Ford workers go on strike the workers at GM don't go out on the picket line. When Ford settles a contract with the union then the union takes that contract to GM and puts it on the table until they accept it then the same contract (more or less) goes to Chrysler until they accept it. That way all the workers are more or less getting close to the same agreement. If the pay rates and work rules were set at one Fractional then that would be a basis for a contract with the next Fractional. This way labor costs at all of the fracs will be in line with each other so they can then go onto other aspects of the business. Now the question is how good a contract can the union get. [/QUOTE]
