You overestimate the power of railroad unions these days. They are a shell of what they used to be in terms of power & influence.Work rule changes, give backs, its the way is out there. Go to union meetings, lotsa of chest thumping but little else. Bitch about a problem?? they tell you be thankfull you have a job. Most RR unions are working w/o a updated contract. No raise in several years but no problem accepting a union dues raise. With most union dues goin up much faster than the cost of living index, coupled with the increase of the payroll tax, union RR employees have suffered a de-facto pay cut. There'd be an earthquake over in East Rutheford NJ A/C Jimmy Hoffa's body spinning like a lathe in his oil drum intered in the end zone in the old Giants stadium if somehow word got back to him on how union influence and real meaning has dissapated over the years |
