As a longtime union member (not UAW, by the way), I think the UAW may not be the best representative of union labor in our country. In a time where "right to work" hits home with me here in Pa., I am not only a passionate union member, I'm also a firm believer that people have the right to chose how to support themselves and their families, Union or Open shop. If the time came when my brotherhood were to employ tactics that were used in the past by many others, I would walk away in a heartbeat.
There are other ways to achieve your goals without sacrificing your dignity, and sense of morality. Just my .02

I'm 100% for unionization and collective bargaining for employees, no matter what the shirt collar is. A lone worker has absolutely no leverage on his or her own. Corporations are organizations and they are organized to ensure that profits go to the tippy-top, but historically very rarely allow any to even lightly trickle down without some collective effort from those who actually do the work. Un-organized workers have fewer (or no) resources at their disposal to ensure a fair share of the profits from their work... lack of worker organization in the US has steadily eroded salaries for the past 30+ years, which is why CEO pay is stratospheric and everyone else's wages are stagnant. I find it hard to believe that Nissan (or any large corporation) better represent the "good guys" here. So, while your point is well taken -- it's pretty hard for me to not side with the UAW. There may be some genuine villainy within them, but it is historically always lesser in scope and magnitude than the companies they wrangle with. BTW: Japan has strong unionization, but if a Japanese auto company opens a plant here, they simply don't support it. So, UAW does have a legitimate dog in this fight.

And I don't see how a union would necessarily hold them back. I've seen plants where the company and the union co-operated for the good of all. Although it is an us-vs-them relationship all too often, it doesn't have to be. I'm not particularly pro- or anti- union. They have their place but aren't appropriate for all situations. If you work for a good company, then you don't need a union. Not all people are so fortunate.

As far as I've heard nissan pays their employees pretty decently, as for the article I read it on Yahoo a couple days ago and came to the conclusion that the uaw is throwing a temper tantrum since they couldn't get their foot in the door after being voted out of the vw plant a couple months ago and are desperate for money and since nissan is the next major auto maker that doesn't support unions it made them a pretty good scapegoat for the uaw

Title of the thread is misleading. Nissan has been accused, but there is no evidence and the investigation is ongoing.
The UAW has been trying to unionize Nissan since Nissan showed up in the states. Methinks that the UAW butthurt is strong, especially concerning how things ended up at the VW plant recently. Nothing to see here, really. |

I am ANTI UNION. I won't hide it, their time has come and gone. They hurt their workers far more then help them.
