In Reply To: WHat I am trying to say is, the union doesn't make the shop better. and in KOIN's case, it is certainly not the answer. the answer is better owners, and better managers. the union, will now make it harder on the staff, not better. because they will have their wages frozen until an agreement is reached. and that isn't going to happen for a LOOONG time.
Message: you're not inside KOIN. Few people have gotten more than a 2% raise in the last several years. Good people, dare I say really good people have been fired for reasons that escape most rational people. Better owners and better managers...well that comment is pretty silly. Do rank and file employees have any say over that? After all, look who just left, not really the cream of the crop there. Someone already said it, there's good union shops and bad union shops. Just like there are good GMs and bad GMs. When your back is against the wall sometimes you have to come out swinging.
