Good.

I seen on the news some of the Employees were making fun of the workers in Milwaukee for taking what Harley offered.

As far as I am concerend Harley should move the plant where people will work for what they get paid.

Everybody wants to make a buck. If one of the employees owned Harley they would also want to make as much as they can just like Harley is doing.

Harley workers are not Nuclear Scientists, but they want to get paid like one it seems.

My $0.02!

It's not that it is just Harley workers. It is just people who's wages and benefits are governed under a contract. They are Union. They know that if they say "we strike" the union will usually do what it can to give the people what they want know matter what it is. Alot of the people I know here on the base are union and make a shit load of money, yet come time for the new contract proposals they always want more. GREEDY BASTARDS!!!!

they always want more. GREEDY BASTARDS!!!!

Production is halted as workers at York, Pa. plant overwhelmingly reject proposed contract offering lower wages and benefits for new workers.

How is that being greedy and wanting more? They want fairness for both old and new workers.

It sucks that every union member get's a bad rap because some are lazy and expect more... Some are really hard workers that happen to be in a union

QFT!!!!...

Alot of people don't realize the good that comes from a union either. Example, I was in local1199 and if I went to school and stayed in the medical field, they would have paid 100% tuition while I go to school full-time and still pay me 3/4 of my full salary while @ school and not working...

What a greedy corrupt horse shit organizations unions are :dizzy:
