I handled the payroll and All the stress and headaches that goes with owning a business. Have you ever owned a business? I had two employees with me over 25 years and several with me over 10 so I must’ve treated them pretty damn good. It’s called supply and demand. If they want to work there go work somewhere else. Unions should NOT be able to hold companies hostage
The union did not deliver much to the workers.................the offer from the company prior to the strike was 50% increase. The new agreement is 62% increase.
