but try to cut those benefits based on sound economic reasoning, and the unions hold your company to ransom. seriously, i'm a bit of a socialist, and i'm all for people getting paid fairly, especially if the ceo is making millions, but the big 3 benefits are ridiculous. i'm not sure if they (unions) appreciate the effect they have on a company's economics. whenever something doesn't work out, it's always the white collar bosses that get the blame -- rightly or wrongly -- but union policies are only recently getting looked at.
