Boeing Braces for Potentially Long Workers' Strike

It is clear that unionites are pissed because they feel they have been jipped....this is the difference....
If a non unionite gets jipped he looks for employment elsewhere...if he finds a better offer he takes it and shifts the labor market in favor of the other company....Boeing would then need to consider its pay and benefits package and maybe raise them to attract employees from the labor market...but if he doesnt find it he relooks at his pay and benefits package and says maybe this isnt too bad....I am actually better off than I thought.

A unionite feels jipped and says to his "brother and sisters" (you sound like a cult by the way)...I feel jipped, dont you feel jipped?...I cant wait for 1,2, or 3 years for our contract to come due...I am going to "fight" this time...I am not going to be "disrespected"...I will strike if I have to and show them who is "boss"...we have the company by the "balls" this time we can really make them "hurt"...they will have to give in to our "demands"...

And alas, that is the disconnect. The non union member sells his labor individually in the labor market and "knows" what the real world is like and what he is worth.
The unionites never look out at the real world...they believe they are entitled to their "demands" because well you see they have all grouped together and they will really make you hurt if you do not comply...they never look out the window at what is happening in the real world...they never gain the perspective necessary to sound intelligent on labor issues or the economy...they do not know how much to ask for or what benefits are appropriate because they do not know what their labor "should" be worth on the open market.

I see you unionites as a bunch of adolescent bullies on a train that is flying down a track that ends in an abyss miles down the way...some of you do not care because you will be getting off the train (retiring) before it gets to the abyss...but most of you are too stupid to see the abyss for what it is...you believe the train conductor (your union leadership) who tell you the abyss is not really there....so willingly you keep feeding the coal to the furnace and speed up the process....such insanity
