re: UAW vote at the Nissan plant in MS is this week, getting ugly

If their union has negotiated these terms then that is wrong. I have worked in a union chemical plant for the past ten years and our biggest fight is on safety issues. We as union operators are the ones pushing for more stringent safety rules. Most people clump all unions together without having any real knowledge of actual unions. While unions do have their problems they have also done a lot of good.
