Quoting Stewart Stremler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Yup. And part of the reason you have that experience is that the threat of unionization. I was a little unclear -- without the _concept_ of unions and the threat of unionization, then even those who do good work would likely have to yell for a living wage. (Better?)
I still disagree.. as I've said before, this company was founded by engieers, so they know what kind of people are working for them and know that it's cheaper, in the long run, to keep them happy then to lose them to other companies. If the market were to change, or if the company changes now that Irwin retired.. then I might agree. But today, I don't think even the concept of the possibility of workers here unionizing some day, if they weren't happy, plays into it. Right now, the market is still skewed to the employee here.
