This is the union way. They always ask for more than they think they will get so they have something to bargain with. It is the reason many union businesses are shutting down. They just can’t afford them anymore. It used to be anyone organized by the AFL/CIO would only be in business for about 9 years unless they are the auto workers and then the taxpayers will bail them out.
THIS IS SHAMEFUL – When the private sector ( yes the people that actually pay your wages) are going down along with their quality of living. Phooey !
Looks like the private sector wages will go down about the same amount – these people must think money grows on trees and is shameful of them to demand increases while the prive sector ( yes the people that actually pay these wages are going down along with their quality of living.
