But you are right, its just reality. But its only reality because the anti union SKW management holds the cards.
True, they hold all the cards and seeing that current times allows them to they will continue to position themselves on their own terms. The good side is that they do care but the little guy, regardless of what some may believe, 36 years of history as proven this to be so.
