Why GE's Selling Its Appliance Division

Unions are necessary as we all know.. however, their brotherhood creed to protect all workers is faulty.. they demand the company keep employing the deadbeats, the drunks, the habitual tardy.. the worker with the bad attitude that spews poison against the very company they work for. If unions would wake up to the productivity requirements of their employers, more companies would have best in class products and jobs would be saved. GE is a prime example.. a job for life?.. the world has changed, either pull your own weight or you will be on the sidelines crying "Foul.. Foul.."

Trucking is a leading example.. teamsters still keep the deadbeats and low producers.. it defies common sense.. eventually.. it will change and catch up to the small minded leaders of unions, most who only have a HS education but think they know everything about business. Again, my main point is they fight the companies trying to improve productivity, they keep the deadbeats in jobs.
Having managed several union and non union trucking companies the past 25 years, and having a deadbeat Bro-in-law regale me with stories how he cheats his employer (Ford) and the company cannot touch him, "he does just enough to get by".. "its not my job".. his venom against his employer.. his job is slowly getting replaced just as in the trucking business.. non union companies now dominate the market. By the way.. I think unions are necessary but need to wake up.
