Wow. Some common ground. On that we can agree.
Now, what about those that put in more than a fair day's work in their 8 hour shift? What about those who put in less than a fair day's work in their 8 hour shift?
The problem with that,....is exactly who is the person that gets to...quantify...who is doing a "good job"?
One man's hard work,..at the limits of his ability,........is another man's easy day, with time off for naps and doughnuts....
Which one should be rewarded?
Unions were created to take away management's ability to..."reward"...favored workers ,..and punish those to whom management designated as..."Lazy,...Troublemaker...Not Living Up To Potential.."
When management is the sole arbiter of,....who is working "hard",...and who isn't,.....then it is very, very easy for management to abuse that system, and play groups of workers off against themselves,......either for management's economic gain,...or for mere perverted pleasure.......Labor history is full of these abuses from the periods prior to organizing.....
When you set up a unilateral pay system,.....then management has lost the ability to economically "punish"...those who speak up,...by designating them as...."lazy"..
My question has always been.......Who hired the "lazy" person in the first place?
Unions can neither hire or fire,....only employers can do that. Unions must unilaterally ,....by law,.......represent every employee there,...regardless of company "designation".
Sometimes I think companies hire real..."doozies"....just because they know it will waste Union time and resources,...defending the indefensible......
By the way,.....I am one of those......"Libtards"....that you guys are disparaging. I am not insulted,...I am merely exasperated......
