In reply to the discussion: 2 Dietz & Watson employees drive into union picket line [View all]christx30
(6,241 posts)My job pays us well because they know we have a hard job. They have good benefits, free cable and Internet services (which saves me about $200+ per month), and they work hard to promote us. I don't owe anything I have to a union. Everything I have, I owe to my own hard work and skill.
And there are people in my industry that are union. I'm a tech support rep for a cable company, so that would fall under the CWA. Thankfully, they can't force us to become members, because I live in Texas.
But this case isn't about safety or working conditions at that plant. No one that was protesting was an employee at the plant. The union was demonstrating sour grapes over not getting the job.
The picketers were blocking the entrance and the employees were trying to get to work. The cops should have forced the picketers to part to allow employees to get through. They erred, and should be held accountable for not doing their jobs.
