The Latrobe steel workers were not turning down a $16,000.00 bonus they were losing cost of living increases and the cost of health insurance was increasing to more than double what they already pay for there health insurance with no hourly raise. They would have lost money! as they already did over a lame 6 year contract Don't be so naive as to believe what a large corporate business allows to be placed in media and newspapers. Anyone who judges without knowing the facts is THE REAL LOSER!

Who are you calling a loser?I guess me and my union brothers and sisters.If you really knew what you were talking about it might have upset me but knowing that you are a PUTZ ill let it go the 16000.00 was never really the issue but the cost of living freeze,tripple insurance, and two teir wage pushed it over the edge. so untill you know what you are talking about maybe you should button your lips.If you are that interested maybe you could stop and talk to any of the people at the pickets they would be more than happy to explain it to you.

Let's all be realistic here, OK? Unions are for people who have neither the talent, ambition, or skills to get a better job, so they band together under the some big union chief in order to bully the company into giving them things that they couldn't possibly get with their limited skill set.

Now, having said that, according to the union goons, it's always OK for the union to intimidate, coerce, and threaten other workers into the 'groupthink' of the union. However, it's ALWAYS bad for the company to get tired of the union's bullshit and try and conduct business. How can that possibly make sense?

Every time I read the above union loser posting about his 'union brothers and sisters', it reminds me of Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson whining about another group that wants to be hand-fed from cradle to grave.

all you got to do, when your shift is done, instead of being escorted out in a van like a convict on the chain gang, how about just walking out of the guard shack like a real man would and just walk across the street to the Credit Union and just stand there by the MAC machine and make your comments
you go ahead and post on here what time your pussy ass is done working and what time you are going to walk the walk and I guarantee that I will be there waiting for you. You dont have to worry about being jumped by a lot of guys, hell I just want to see if you got the balls to do it
wow
