Those nasty ol\' union thugs!


Posted: May 17, 2011

WASHINGTON -- In recent months, the management at Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System has approached workers with a set of proposals that include layoffs and cuts to pensions and health benefits.  . . . 

But rather than roll over, the union of nurses, technicians and other hospital workers has rejected management’s proposal, instead launching a counter attack on the executives themselves. The hospital\'s top officials now face a firestorm in the local media and an audit from the state of California. The layoffs and benefit cuts are, at least for now, on hold.

It\'s a sharp break from the national labor playbook. From Maine to California, unions have been negotiating just how deep the concessions they\'ll give to management will be.   Even in Wisconsin, public workers immediately accepted drastic cuts to pay, pensions and health care, drawing the line only at the right to collectively bargain.

Okay, try all of us seniors and those who came before after SS fund was raided by our wonderful Congress. No one paid that back. Think of how many people died when they were taken off their good insurance and put on Obamacare eons ago. No one talks about that either. If Democrats want to continue to fight about everything the Republicans want to do to Obamacare to either get rid of it or fix it. What do millions of Americans do till both decide to work together. So instead of blaming ...

I Was In A Union As An In-house MT.Feb 23, 2011
We were lumped in a group with the housekeepers and the nurses. Union membership was mandatory for employment and dues were taken directly out of our paychecks. Our local reps said they could only negotiate for 1 group a year out of our 3 departments, but every time our turn came around the nurses weren't happy and the union would negotiate for them again. Of course this was 10 years ago, but we made from $8.10 per hour to a max of $12.39 per hour, but we did only have to pay $50 a ...
