Unoin Schmonion. I can't belive union workers cry about not getting enough benefits even when they get paid $12 to $32hr plus benefits. When I worked at Winn-Dixie in Fort lauderdale, we told the union NO. In Texas Krogers is a union grocery store, people get little raises 10 cent 50 cent depending on seniority, not JOB PERFERMORANCE, Winn Dixie is not-union (or did not use to be). Someone like be can come in, work all the time, 3 different departments, be on call, put in 50 60 hours a week, and go from part time to full time with $1 raise in 3 months. Wait about the others that have been there 4 years? They don't want the responsibilty and don't want to work as hard or as many hours. UNIONS S_uck... You should pay by job, and availability, and work, not by how many years. Yes if 10 years you should get a decent raise, but QUIT crying if your making $20 hr + benefits, and they don't give you everything for free, If i made $22 a hr, I could pay for my own doctor with out helath insurance, big union babies. Also crying they don't get enough for free...that why all the jobs are in China now,,,cause United States workers & unions are too greddy, thats also why the illegal immigrants can work here and get paid $6 to $12 a hr under the table, becasue unions and all associate with them are too greedy. Go on strike for a job that I qualify for, and I'd take your job & keep it I wouldn't care if they only gave me $12 hours instead of your $22. So quit crying all the Union babies.

Keep going down that trail and the company will only close the plant and move. The look on your faces will get about 3 minutes of coverage and life will move on. The market will only pay 50% for the labor because that is the rate on a global level.

What business is it of yours or the Union to worry how much a CEO gets? That is between the people who OWN the company and the CEO. You only need to concern yourself with your own work. Don't like your compensation then start your own company or find another job. The money a company makes is the company's.

What the CEO gets matters to THEM, fool. The workers vote on the contract, not you. You might not care what a CEO gets, but the people who work there do. They have been on strike for 2 months, largely because of the tens of millions the CEO gets. You only wish you could have a vote on what goes on in your workplace. You anti-union sell-outs just can't stand seeing people stand up for themselves.

Right, Class envy is what the dems run on only. If the workers don't want the package AAM is offering then they are free to move on. It is a Progressive idea, Move ON... The company needs to continue their business and to do so will pull up stakes and move to an area where they can be productive and profitable. It is still not the workers business to worry about the Compensation package of the CEO.

If AAM doesn't like the strike they are free to close their doors or bring in replacements. They are not going to do either because it would end the company. They are going to have to make a deal.
If the workers are concerned with what the CEO makes then it is their business. They are the ones who vote on their contract, not you.
