Another local example:
Toyota Motor Manufacturing - Georgetown, KY. The factory is about 25 miles from here and I would challenge any unionized factory to produce what these people produce in both quantity and quality. They do work hard, but are rewarded very well.
They may not be as low in price (Camry) as many US cars, but they have a loyal following that keeps them selling better than any other.
Several people from my plant have gotten jobs at Toyota and now make over $100,000 per year (mostly in skilled trade & maintenance). They have a very rewarding system including bonuses for ideas that save money. The union has failed (not even close) every time they've went in there. IMO, the union simply wants the dues from the 8,000 people working there as their working conditions are very good (challenging, but compensated very appropriately).
Oh, and the Kroger union, which I belonged to for the year while I worked there, is a piece of sh!t. Working for minimum wage in the front office (counted $100,000 in cash/checks every day) and still payed union dues. Those already in the system for years benefited pretty good, but the rest of us just paid union dues to work there and receive minimum wage (1991-92)
