An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Not sure what your point is...

The best way I can describe my view of a union is a spoiled child threatening to hold its breath or throwing itself on the floor and having a flopping temper tantrum if it doesn't get it's way.

 

Or do what I do when management pisses on the employees, wave bye bye and find employment elsewhere. If enough employees leave, then management has to make some changes or go out of business.

My father-in-law worked for BF Goodrich in Akron OH most of his adult life. Great benefits and pay, but every couple years the union said strike, so he was making whatever the strike pay was from the union (if there was any). Finally, BFG got sick of it and closed most of the production facilities in that area and shipped them out of state or out of the country. He ended up taking a buyout settlement and retired early rather than move to another facility. My wife's brother-in-law worked there too and tried moving to AL to keep his job, but was too much of a city boy to tolerate the AL country way of life...he lasted 6 or 7 months and came back to Akron and ended up working for the city's Parks and Recreation department...which was seasonal for many years for the lower tier of employees...but the URW did nothing to help them other than force BFG to keep their health benefits until they reached 65
