From one of the labor websites: <br /> <br /> http://www.utu.org/worksite/detail_news.cfm?ArticleID=23139 <br /> <br /> Being that the RR's are heavily relient on unionized labor, I found this article to be rather informative and alarming. It also led me to think twice about going on strike. These days unions are not as strong as they used to be. Of course the airline industry is in much harder times than the RR industry, but it still got me thinking. A question I had to ask myself was: "Would I take a pay and benefits cut to keep my job, or do we strike to try to protect what we have when we know that our employer can't keep up with the bills." This topic can bring up all kinds of scary thoughts and despair, but my point in bringing this up is what would YOU do? And.. what's your point of view on this subject?
