[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5451238, member: 93115"] Congrats you just fell for Mgmt 101 way to break a union. It's called divide and conquer. Now management knows who to target for disipline as they cost the company more--because you really didn't think mgmt was going to pay at 100% rates on those bonus instead of benefits/pensions did you? Next they can go into CBA contract negotiations and say to the union more than 50% took the bonus and the bonus costs "X dollars" while the benefits cost "X+ 10 dollars." We are going to lower benefits by $8 an hour and give $0.50 more in bonus to more than 50% of your membership. More than 50% see this as a raise so it will be approved. So as a mgr I've lowered my overall cost and got a majority voting for a bonus raise at the expense of older employees that can't be on their parents insurance. Which in turn will force some turnover on expensive labor rates as they seek employment with medical coverage elsewhere--which lowers my cost even more and allows me to walk over the newer employees. So really brilliant idea there. [/QUOTE]
