Hi Roy,
I'll share an experience that I had when I worked for a large
unionized corporation. The labour contract had expired and
the union had organized a negotiations committee. We
wanted to negotiate. Yet, in response to that, the corporation
set up a "War Room." The corporation chose to organize
a war committee. My jaw just about dropped to the floor
when I read that sign on the dooe.
A corporation waging war on its employees? Wow! That
was definitely not a good sign. We wanted to, in good
faith, negotiate a new contract, while *they* chose to declare
war in response. What an outrageous mentality
for a corporation to adopt!
Ah well...it was a good learning opportunity. They
challenged us to go to war and we took up that challenge!
At the end, the arbitrator gave us most of what we wanted
and the corporation had to concede defeat, albeit in a
rather unsportsmanlike manner.
Take care,
Heidi
Authors worldwide
have written of the unsafe and miserable conditions that many
employers subjected their "loyal" workers to. Even Jack London wrote
of these things although most people know of him from his other works.
