Seems like a no-brainer solution to a no-brainer problem.
If ya want something done right, do it yourself. The union has presented plans for more effective cost reductions and streamlining. They obviously have the brain-power and operational knowledge. Most businesses that tout themselves as "employee owned" seem to survive fairly well. What if you up the anti and make it "Employee RUN".
Yeah, I know. And Santa Clause will deliver this miracle in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny easter bunnies led by a unicorn with a glowing red-horn. I know it'll never happen. Simply because in Business Terminology "Severable Liability"....or as we used to say when we were younger... "1-2-3 NOT IT!!!!" In essence it is so very much easier to criticize someone else than it is to actually DO SOMETHING yourself. This is evident in almost every aspect of modern life, but particularly true in business and politics.
So, again, I know it would never happen.
But think about the possibilities.... What if....
