You’re damn right. And I work with a lot of them. All Southwest has to do is put the word out and I’m sure they’ll get all the resumes they need and then some. And of those 2400 union members, many will tell the union to pound salt up their keister. The union will be responsible for interrupting that business, not the company leadership. Southwest should start holding job fairs all over the country.

Unions destroyed the UK auto industry.

Unions have put companies out of business before. Rank and file union members usually don’t have a good grasp of finance or economics. Union bosses are corrupt and greedy. They’ll plunder one company after another.

Even union people wouldn't let an unsafe plane fly.

Nonsense.

They both can and will sooner or later. That is what unions do, cause pain, misery and death until they get paid off.

After all, they are protected as long as what they are doing is part of a "labor dispute".

Yep. Bitch how horrible the company is and how great the union is. Repeat each new contract how nothing changes, blame the company and not the union who is supposed represent you but never does.

Instead if looking for a new job they just keep whining how awful it is, how great the union is all while nothing changes.

Union workers with the ethics to falsely ground planes would also sabotage planes, IMHO.

Unions have become only obsolete parasites. The government has stepped in to force large companies to provide decent pay, working conditions and benefits.

As an aside, the first unions that need to be abolished are public service unions!

It is when those folks have a gripe with you and are doing their best to put you out of business or bow down to them.
