Anybody know how the Horse Shoeing Union worked out for that trade?? When society and the market no longer need your goods or services as much anymore, or at all..... then your skill/trade no longer provides a suitable source of income... if at all! Yell and scream all you want. Strike all you want. Change is coming like it or not and GE will either get in-check with the changes really quick to survive or get left in the dust. The question is, who gets to come along for the ride. There probably isn't going to be enough room for all of us.

I pay onion dues to a dictatorship does that mean I’m in the ECW-WWE? Will my dues help me in this layoff that’s coming to Schenectady?

"nationwide strike against film and TV productions"

Let them strike!! Who cares??? My life isn't so lonely that I need TV and movies to fill the void. No different than if the workers at a cigarette factory went on strike. It's actually a good thing if workers in both industries quit working as far as I'm concerned.

IUE-CWA.... Is A Real Onion look at all the wonderful things that they negotiated for the membership. They negotiated a great CA Agreement to keep T rates Employed 6 months longer. Now they are negotiating to put cameras on every work station in return to keep T Rates employed another 4 months. If it wasn’t for this union and this great job I have. I would still be a swing manager at A coffee shop. I was in charge of the sandwich assembly line. I do not know what I would do if I lost my T Rate job. My ego would be crushed my self worth would be destroyed. This union and GE job gives me purpose and a feeling that I made it big in Corporate America. I feel wanted and needed in Schenectady. I feel if I got laid off in Schenectady the place would fall apart. I see my ops leader and run right over to him and pucker up for him to save my job. I can not go back to my previous employment I had for over 15 years. So yes the ECW-WWE is a real union. They saved my job for another 4 months and at all cost because the ECW-WWE union is as real as it get. Oh It’s True!
