re: USW strike...** POSSIBLE END IN SIGHT **

No dog in this fight b/c I'm not on strike, but I've been on both sides. I worked for a non- Union plant from 2007 to 2012, with bonuses and a yearly raise. In 2008 when the economy went bad we did not receive a bonus or a raise until 2013. They made billions a year and gave us nothing simply b/c they didn't have to and no other companies were hiring. As soon as other companies began to hire again the bonus and raises came back. I left them shortly after that and now work for a union plant. You don't have to be a union member to work here. I personally like the fact that I know I'm getting a raise and a bonus every year
