Collectively, they've managed to screw up all their jobs. Nice work. Now they can join the unemployment union and strike for better......?

I think they need to go on strike for a better union.

At best these days, if a retail union strikes, they will find many of the check out lines have become "self-serve".
Idiots. - 6/13/12, 6:01 PM

Albertson's began a 2500 head lay-off this past Monday. I went in yesterday evening, and there were sooo many long faces, I thought I ws at a Sarah Jessica Parker look-alike convention.

When I read the second line, I was thinking "then they should close the store".
I feel bad for the non union workers, but no company should be held hostage by the workers (as the workers should not be held hostage by the company).
The union is clearly in the wrong and now they got their comeuppance. - 6/13/12, 9:48 PM

I am confused here; maybe some of you who are union members (for some it is compulsory) can answer this.
If the UFCW represented these folks, but their "union's labor deal expired", how does the NLRB make this judgement? There is no contract to enforce; it is expired. In effect, the union no longer is their representative, so the phrase "hours were reduced without bargaining with their union" has no meaning.
Yes, pdwalker, they got their comeuppance. Piggly Wiggly did the same thing Stella D'Oro did, ( http://tinyurl.com/c2o8zsz ) The union played rough, Stella D'Oro pulled the plug. - 6/14/12, 7:18 AM

A further comment on Stella D'Oro that goes beyond the article I cited. I can't find the story and am in a rush to get to work, but as I understand it, SD'O finally DID get a contract from the union. Within a day or so of the contract taking effect, SD'O, in full compliance with existing labor law, announced the plant was closing for good, and gave the employees the labor-law-mandated 60 days of notice.

I wish I were an artist or cartoonist as I have this image{Dr. Seuss style} in my mind of union 'officials' with their paws so far up the a** of the "Goose Laying the Golden Egg" that you can see a vague hand in outline in the neck... Reaching to pull that last nugget out ... perhaps from a gold filling???
Just don't care. "Get *mine* while I can, and screw everyone else" seems to be the motto of every union I have ever dealt with.
The idea of the union has been perverted from its original purpose, and turned into an extortion racket.
The union 'leaders' in Wisconsin have shaken loose the scales from the eyes of the voters and made clear that edjumucashun is NOT their priority, nor that of the members, but getting 'more for less' is... and who pays? Whose child is graduated unable to read or write? Unemployable - likely for life? Not the union members' kids... No... they go to private schools, or are allowed to put their kids in any school of their choosing within the district...
One can hope that the voters remember next November which candidate gets the union dues $'s to finance their campaign.
Hmmm.. some are more equal than others, no?
