Until you don't. Just ask the air traffic controllers' union.
I don't mean this to say I'm anti-union, but just there are net-good and net-bad employers, there are net-good and net-bad unions. For things to get better at the national level everyone is going to have to sacrifice.
- renewiltord 6y agoAll right, I guess we'll see. Life is good for construction workers, right now. Lots of work to go around. I don't think they'll change that. "Everyone has to make a sacrifice" doesn't mean anything when you can't make them.
- mullingitover 6y agoMy point with the air traffic controllers is just that: you absolutely can make them. The air traffic controllers thought they had a supreme bargaining position, but then suddenly they discovered that their power was a social construct and could be ripped away when they overplayed their hand. I don't think it will happen, but my point is that it can if they overplay their hand.
- renewiltord 6y agoRight. I know what you're saying and I hope for it to be true. I'm just sceptical they don't have the power.
