Although unions are not very popular in this area we do have some good unions here. Some of our crane operators are union, HVAC guys are union.
We are a right to work state and the only thing the union dies is offer those guys a decent benefit package, but nothing crazy expensive. They have no say
Hiring or firings either. We hire and fire all employees just like non union employees.
I agree that the UAW has really made it hard for the future of unions and not to mention part of the reason a truck cost $70,000.
