I'm sure that would be tough for anyone to swallow. I guess they should just suck it up.
I'm sure I just sound like an over the top anti union guy, but did this 47-52 percent compensation loss have anything to do with the union's refusal to accept layoffs or restructuring? I mean, maybe some people could have kept their jobs (and pay structure) if the plant became more efficient. I don't know. Just a guess from the anti union side.
