Anyone else think "at will" work states are a joke? Is it just me?

[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 576956, member: 11791"] Nancy... I've seen at least three sides to unions... In the really, really old days, when unions were formed, well... in my opinion companies got what they "asked" for, even though they didn't think so. They were being SO far off the deep end in how they handled staff that... people will group together and stand up for their collective selves. It was absolutely necessary. In the "old days" (40 years ago, when I was a kid and my parents worked union jobs), there was a respect between the union and management. The adversarial nature of the relationship was partly show, and mostly hidden unless there was a real point to be made. Usually, strikes were rare - if you hit two strikes in your career, that was about -normal. At this point, unions were no longer absolutely necessary, but they worked - it was effective all the way around. Today? There's just too much corruption on all sides... union, management, staff, and the government departments that are supposed to have oversight. With or without unions, we're in a major mess (on our side of the border too...) [/QUOTE]
