[1] UAW Agreement May Shut Down 2 GM Plant

The moves are the downside of job security pledges that the UAW won in the negotiations, including commitments for new products at 16 plants.

This is a hot topic for so many Americans because so many of us are members of a Union. I am not, so I suppose I may be biased. In my experience though, with friends and family the Union has little merit in today’s workforce and I do speak from a professional opinion as I am a Career & Employment Specialist for [2] DOL.

The Union had a place in society in the past as the conditions in so many jobs were not good for the workers, but there are more than enough [3] OSHA laws on the books to keep that from being a problem any more. It seems to me that the only ones that benefit any more are the Union leaders and officials.

I guess the Common Sense thing for me is that if you feel you need more money or a better job - Go find a new one!
