Another story of how unions are trying to kill entrepreneurship while trying to elevate entry level jobs. Heard a Delta male stew - (likely gay, not that it matters), talk about the FOUR RAISES he will get this year and TWO NEXT year guaranteed. He works about 12 days a month, travels the carribbean and Amsterdam the rest of the time FREE.
I’m sorry, for handing out Biscoff’s and coke products? This is not sustainable.

grapefruit growers simply had a machine designed and built when unions became an issue.

Possible, but remember sugar quotas require Americans to pay two to three times the world price for sugar.
The sugar industry is protected from world competition. Not just the growing but the processing too!
To: EQAndyBuzz
I think it would be more accurate to say, Canadian union workers doing the work American union workers won’t do”.

You’re right - another brain dead job, that we’ll be forced to over pay for. After this weekend, I’m laying down the law for my wife. NO flying - if drive is under 7 -8 hours (direct flight) or 10-11 hours (connection flight). It’s not worth it.
The human indignity of the TSA line, which is what this is all about to begin with. is training citizens to become sheeple.

Actually, I was mistaken. I was thinking of Florida Crystals, which has plants located in South Bay, Fl. They are sugar cane processors.

“I doubt that any deal they make now will make up for the lost income over that 16 months.”
Yes, just think, every week that they are out costs them 2% of their annual pay, and still they are “sold a bill of goods” by their union leaders that they are “doing the right thing.” Those same leaders get paid whether their workers are on the job or not.

Delta flight attendants aren’t unionized.

Check Post #31. I corrected myself. But, thanks for correcting me.

Byline: Fargo, ND.
Are they making sugar with beets?
To: TurboZamboni
DUH! If I had read the article I’d have seen it’s beet sugar.
To: old and tired
“And North Dakota is booming so there probably are other jobs for these workers to go to.”
Yes, but I suspect those other jobs are not at union shops. Which means that if these union workers took these jobs they would have to . . . really work, rather than union shop work.
