But usually that battle is "we want more work out of you for the same pay" and
"we want less work for the same pay".  But usually when they sit down and talk,
both labor and management can reach some common ground where both are happy.

The union battles that I've see have been along the lines of "We want
professional pay, and professional level benefits, for common labor work and we
won't compromise."  Kinda hard to reach common ground there.

Incompetent management is always a problem.  But as I tell people, if you don't
like it, go somewhere else.

The union guys I spoke with didn't like that because of the rules that **they**
put in place, they would have to take a major cut in benefits to go somewhere
else (even in the same company).

But that's a sign that things are **really** screwed up.
