Please go join ALPA if that is what you want and enjoy the ATI style contract they will get you!
How is it that such an extremely conservative demographic embraces such extreme Marxist viewpoints and totally loses sight of the fact that endless pattern bargaining managed to turn Detroit and most of Michigan into a pile of rust?
Contractual improvements and fair compensation, as determined by the collective working under said collective bargaining agreement, are a good thing. Attempting to force your employer out of business in the name of "the greater good" is asinine at best.
Let's hope both sides can get away from one-upmanship in a few days and get us something to vote on.
