Yup. There rarely is an animal as lazy as a veteran union employee. Try taking pride in doing your job fast and well in a union environment. I guarantee someone will take you aside and tell you to slow down because you are making everyone else look bad.

Unions are demonized because they operate in a world that is not based in reality, breeding and rewarding ineptitude and mediocrity. There is a reason why West Jet is outperforming most of North America's airlines, and I would point directly at the fact that West Jet is not unionized. It's also a big reason, I think, why West Jet's staff cares a hell of a lot more about doing a good job than Air Canada's staff.
