I'm puzzled.
I'm wondering how this fits into the larger picture of how wealth has been shifting from the lower three income quintiles to the top one.
Seems like the weakening and loss of unions is one factor, though not the only one.
Can you pinpoint some event in your union history that turned the tables for management? And a date, or two?
Just for mu own edification
Happened before I got there. But I would guess a one time bonus to current employees as a signing bonus. They would put a clause in the contract that no member hired after June 2005 qualifies for retirement pension. And no member hired after June 2005 qualifies for a 6th week of vacation. So basically maybe one or two guys currently in the union get screwed but all the new hires get screwed. And they would walk away with a maybe $1500 when they voted to approve the new contract.
