or supposed sightings of workers supposedly not working
Well, I've been quiet for a while, but this is the second time you've basically called me a liar in this thread. I notice you didn't refute any of the facts I presented in the beginning about what the union worker lost in a strike and how long it took them to make it up. I do freely admit that I forgot to take strike pay into consideration, but that only makes it about 25% less time to make up. It's still almost 3 years to make up the loss in my scenerio, and the bosses still collect FULL pay!!!
And, I can tell you that the workers (using that term loosely) I've personally seen (not "supposedly" seen) have NOT been working. You can't tell me, even with your superior union knowledge, that napping for nearly an hour in a company vehicle is an authorized break. It's what's called a "Union Break," but it's not an authorized break. I drive the same streets in our town all day long and see it over and over again.
I've not stated it before, because I was being respectful. But, I will say now, loud and proud, whenever I get the chance to cross a picket line, I do it! Even if I'm not really patronizing the pickettee! I'm one more person they couldn't intimidate!
And, by the way, your 'fact' that the UAW hasn't held a strike since the '70's doesn't hide the fact that they've heavily used the strike threat to push negotiations along. Having LIVED in a UAW household, this is not "supposed" information. It's fact!!!
