I have no skin in this at all, but find it fascinating. I personally think at one time there was a purpose and need for unions here in the U.S. I no longer believe they are necessary and in most cases cause more harm than good to an industry. That is my sole opinion. Bend over one more time Bayouboy.

Originally posted by ElfEyes View PostI would really like to see what the company is asking for vs what the union is asking for. I don't doubt that the company could be playing hard ball but I've heard and this is just hear say that the union is wanting back the console jobs they gave up many years ago.

I have no idea who is in the right on this issue, nor even most of the details. However, I do know that in refinery areas, those refineries drive the rest of the local economy. One plant won't stifle the economy, but it does have a negative effect. They need to settle their dispute and get working again.
