The union members are asking for these things because the leadership tells them they deserve it and can get it. If you talked to any of those guys before the union mgmt got to them they would take a 3% raise and more typical insurance and OT rates.


Do you walk into a car negotiation and accept the first offer or tell them exactly what you are willing to pay for a new car?

Hell no, it would be bad negotiating.

No. but to be taken seriously, you can't offer half of the asking price, nor can you reasonably ask for twice the book value.

I understand negotiations. Been through four since I started working in my current job. Two of those were with USW as our affiliation. I can honestly say that we had better contracts when we were affiliated with anyone other than them.
