Union Screws Over Workers... Again...

Tweet

Here in Sheboygan an international corporation has a plant that employs 400+ people. The company also has a plant in Louisiana. The corporation decided to streamline operations, moving everything to one plant. I don't know what's going on in Lousiana, but I'm betting they are going to come out on top here. The company contacted the union local to get together by conference call to discuss reasons to move the whole operation to Sheboygan. First the shop union rep informed the company reps that she couldn't meet with them at the time they scheduled the call, and asked if they could reschedule it... naming the time that would be better for her. The company agreed, and informed all the other parties of the change. When the time set came, the shop steward just decided not to participate. The State of Wisconsin and the City of Sheboygan are both offering incentive packages to the company to woo them over to Sheboygan. I'm sure Louisiana is working at least as hard at convincing the company to move it all there. Considering the union's attitude here, who do you think will get the infusion of jobs... and who do you think will lose them?
