The Postal Service can't afford unions
The APWU is currently in contract negotiations with the USPS. When asked about the possibility of union concessions in light of the USPS's financial woes, Burrus called a pay increase for his members an "entitlement" and stated that his union wants "more control over activities at work, more money, better benefits -- we want more."Barack Hussein Obama, Umh! Umh! Umh! There's a union demand that goes back a couple hundred years ... The sad reality is that having watched the unionized workforces at GM and Chrysler receive preferential treatment from the federal government, there's little incentive for Burrus and the postal unions to not ask for more. The postal unions are likely betting that in a worst case financial scenario for the USPS, policymakers will tap taxpayers for a bailout. Unfortunately, if recent history is a guide, they're probably correct. Bend over and hold your ankles, this is going to hurt. Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2010-10-12 |
