Reply #46: It is alleged that the union bosses got as bad as the corporate bosses

[texastoast]

I've not ever worked union. I heard of union bosses negotiating deals to kick back to the corporate bosses portions of union dues. These are ALLEGATIONS. I've also heard of some ridiculous deals negotiated by the union and corporate bosses that could really cripple the business. All of that said, it would be the ticket if those fucking goldhats were to earn a reasonable salary and boards of directors stop the fucking whining about "we can't attract good leadership if we don't pay some of these losers an overwhelming shitload of money and options." Witness GM, AIG, and the banks.

I've also watched my own industry get fucked these past two years because there is no union and everyone is scared for their jobs. Each of us on my team is doing the work of two people now without adequate compensation. I've also watched my industry ship jobs to India.
