If that was part of their contract, what’s the problem? |

I don't think anyone will argue about compensation for labor... the issue lies in redundancy and excess of employees and the decline in quality of work after a certain point. How many times have you seen a Union job where two guys are breaking their asses working hard, one guy doing the bare minimum and two guys doing the absolute least or nothing with three out of the five hoping for a minor injury to get the coveted disability vacation. On the flip side say a small independent company would send out the right amount and the workers typically do the best they can so they dont get fired or have to redo a wo/ticket for free. Not say there isn't a fair share of lazy schlubs within that group as well but far less when you know you can't get fired and get paid for redoing a poorly or improperly done job.
If only that mentality worked for other industries... Haven't seen any "occupy unions" protests for excessive pay and bonuses.

Majority of SAG individuals work for scale and not exactly in the same league as someone getting $400k + benefits to wash trucks. There are many industries that have Unions if boycott them what would be left? No phones? No utilities? Where does it end? Can't exactly boycott an entity that has no competition to give business too.

How can one run a better business if the Unions tie your hands? Management cannot fire people in a Union very easily or even for not doing work so it is not a Management problem. Cannot change contracts without huge Union approval or threats of walk-outs/strikes. See how this is an issue? The people on the job sight know the issues but cannot do anything about them. In end it is all our problems because the large costs Unions create are not absorbed by the corporations but by the end-user/rate-payer. Which is all of us. Either way this is a debate that could go in circles and this isn't depression era USA. I am all about being paid for performance not potential. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should be getting paid for it but you should when you are doing it and doing it well.

like i said, one of my previous jobs had union contracts. once the 1st contract was up, union wanted an even cushier contract for themselves, we said no, and the union workers walked out and went on strike. needless to say, we didnt go union again. the unions hold the power and throw their weight around to get what they want.
