m16ty Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've seen time and time again, union leaders get the membership all worked up and vote for a strike. By the time all the dust settles, the union leaders come out smelling like a rose but the workers get screwed. And to top it all off the workers will praise the leadership for what they did.I'm not saying that's the case here because I don't know the details but in this day and time, you should be very careful what you wish for. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42949-union-authorizes-volvo-strike/#findComment-314184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
