Swing and a miss. Have you ever worked for a union? I haven't. Unions rarely strike because the product they're producing is junk, as far as I can tell it's normally about how these workers are being disagreeably treated in the commission of producing said product. The F150 is not only the most popular truck historically ever sold in the US it's also the most popular vehicle. The folks that build the planes up in Renton got screwed by Boeing management in their last union contract but, as I have a proclivity to remind folks, eventually the pendulum swings the other way and right now Boeing management has very little leverage and the union has plenty so they're going to flex. I don't hate unions, how could I? I've always been able to choose if and when I want to work for someone when they need my help. I do recall once at the hangar with the one who shall not be named there was scuttlebutt about a union trying to make inroads. You'd like to think it was squashed by the management, but the truth is we were treated pretty damn good and the majority of the folks on the floor told those people to go crap in their hat.
