And some of these people where do you get your numbers from? I don’t know but I’ve heard it multiple times they wanted 46% pay increase over four years. And they want to work 32 hours a week and get paid for 40 hours a week. who gets paid for things they don’t do?

I'm sorry you have that view of unions. I'm not sure what unions you're talking about, but when I left working in the field and took over as a rep, I made much less than before and was on the clock 24/7 and was on a plane covering my district twice a month. Like I said in an earlier posting the only reasons union exist is because there is a need for them. When it comes to negotiation most members and employer have outlandish expectations and that what is usually the first thing that hits the table. The big goal is that there will be some meeting of the minds to avoid a strike.
In this case that is not what happened and both sides are at fault.
