Just because your opponent is big doesn't mean they're going to win. This is an example of taking advantage of their size. They can't move quickly, so they tried to guess.
This union is run by some smart people. They didn't strike all at once so they can rachet up the pain in the future.
“Strike preparation and contingency planning is part of our normal process in a contract negotiation year — as a responsible business we have to do that,” a spokesperson told In These Times. “They made it very clear that a strike was possible and we did everything we needed to do to protect the business.”
Hmm. If only there was another way to protect the business.
A strike means the business has already failed shareholders. The business is inevitably going to make a new agreement with the union anyway, they should have done that before the strike stops the work, tanking profitability to near zero.
I wish the shareholders would hold them accountable since that's all these companies seem to care about. Strikes are 100% avoidable by the company. It is lost profit with no gain for them. They are failing their fiduciary duty and shareholders should make that clear.
Totally agree. Maybe I needed a /s? ;)
I don't know shit, but I would think the workers know exactly what factories are making preparations (by watching them happen). Further, they know exactly what the build process is, due to doing it.
I wonder if the union can rotate the workers on strike.
