We don't work everywhere else.
I know I'm compensated well but ffs the goal isn't to bring ourselves down to what everyone else has.

If you are worried about PR, maybe you guys should get on top of it now.

My guess is the big O has a big set and Hoffa couldn't have him screwing around with his golden goose

Isn't the point of a union to have better conditions than the average person?

I'm certainly not suggesting that. Thing is, we are so far ahead of competitive compensation for the work we do that any of these things we complain about are very minor to what many people deal with.
If the goal is to improve our lives, why would we financially destroy our lives by striking? The thought of it is so ludicrous. "Hey, I pull $100K /year, full health plan, pension, more vacation than most, but man I hate making $53/hr from 6 to 7:30pm". Strike-Strike-Strike!!!

If you make it about pay you've already lost. You make it about home life. You put a picture of a sad kid on a sign that says "I never get to see daddy because he's always working" and you gain sympathy. Or something along those lines.
You're right, nobody is going to feel bad about the wage. But people will eat up the overworked idea.

We are free to quit and get a common job where you work all day Saturday and Sunday. Oh wait, never mind.

Hopefully you aren't a steward in your local. Why do you care what the doofus working at Pep Boys thinks about your wage? Time to grow a set and fight for what others before us did.

This conversation is like an out of body experience. I'm showing the pros of the union and you're coming back with the stuff I should be saying.

Look, Sonny, I admit to being retired. And, outside of peak, I never worked as many hours as you guys do now. I was able to get out when the getting was good. I do understand how stressful the job is now.
But, if you plan now, you will survive a strike. Yes, it will be tough for up to several months if customers leave, but they will be back. Don't worry about what others make or what they think. You have to stand up for what you have now and try to get a little more.
I was working for UPS in the early eighties when our pay scale was somewhat (I forget the number) less than national freight. Then, those guys started giving concessions every contract. We didn't, and UPS is still around and making record profits every year.
Man up and some day you may finally get your premium car.
