I don't think our company treats their employees good, "because of unions". I am pretty sure it is because we need good employees, and will do what we can to keep people happy so they don't go across the street for something better.
I am not sure what benefit you would be talking about after you quit, or get laid off from a union job after employment is finished? CPP is for all employees. Aside from that, where I work offers a seperate pension, and/or RRSP matchings. Our rates go above unionized places too.
Not too many topics get me going, but union talk gets my blood boiling. ha!
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]You work for Toyota/Honda/Hyundai your association stops with them once you retire/quit. GM/Ford/Chrysler it stops until you die.
yes they did. I'm never going to win this argument with you guys but because of unions corporations are like the way they are today. Union's did their job from the 20's to 70's of pushing un-unionized corporations to give out benefits that equal or better the union jobs. The unions problems are because they're stuck in a time warp. They haven't evolved the way they should have. They tied themselves to manufacturing and they'll go down with that ship. They still act like they have power, they don't.
The problem unions will always face is that they were created back in the 1880's to make working safe and equal and fair. The problem is they've done their job, reached their goal. So now they become sort of piggish.
