Totally agree that at the least they have jobs....but if the union had given a little in the original negotiations maybe the workforce would have a better deal.
As it is now..they are screwed and at the mercy of the company..they have no negotiating power, they have signed away their right to strike for 3 years, they are scared for their jobs..it's not just a management win its a management walkover.
Those guys may as well stop paying their union subs and put what they save into a bank for the interest.
