Shameful

This union is giving other unions a bad name.
I believe in unions. I believe they are necessary and do a tremendous amount to preserve the lives and well being of those who companies could use and abuse... and thsoe who WERE used and abused before unions. The problem is the sense of entitlement that some of them display in cases like this. The lack of respect for the lives they themselves are impacting.
Also, the other problems occur when unions become major corporations themselves, like the CAW, and start to ignore the interests of the common worker.
In any event, this story is shameful. To cause this much havok, strand that many people who were going to their jobs and who need transit for their lives WITHOUT any notice? That's the act of a group that is supposed to care about people's well being.
Disgusting.
