I don't know what business you are into but the problem is that blanket negative, misinformed statements about unions, are like stereotyping people, sure there are some bad systems and some bad apples, but alot more good compared to the bad.

As far as your last statement, we take non productive time, until upper management decides to move the bar again an increase the number. We don't call the shots the managers do.

It surprises me how little non-union workers actually understand about how unions do work. Judging from the rhetoric you'd think some people here actually worked in administration and dealt with unions on an adversarial basis. But it turns out they do neither.
