It is... after all... one of the primary responsibilities of the union... when the workers go on strike or are not being paid. In fact it is their number one responsibility in this situation and they completely failed in it (once again).
Wait...the reason the federal workers are not getting paid is because they went on strike? You find the blame in this situation on the Unions because they created this situation? Wow....you got Stephen King beat for fiction writer of the year.
Please cite your sources regarding 'the union's first and primary responsibility in this situation.' Thanks
I can't blame the union or the workers for filing suit, waste of time as it may be. They have no fault in this fiasco. That falls squarely in the laps of a do nothing Congress who has kicked this issue around for decades while providing nothing but lip service.
I want to know what responsibility the Union has when the employer kicks the employees out of work and tells them they are not going to get paid over an issue they have nothing to do with versus the role/responsibility of the employer for doing it in the first place. Why does the employer get off scott free in your blame game? Seems the employer is being the unfair one in that situation and why should the Union have to spend its money, collected from said employees? That is making the employees pay for what the employer is doing. Seems you are taking the side of the employer in this case which is very unfair.
Just so no one starts to get confused, and since a simple question is seeming to morph into something convoluted--I'll try to keep it organized. Here's what we have so far: Code: 1. You purported to know what 'the union's' responsibility was in the situation. 2. I asked for your sources. 3. You asked about my personal employment history. Your sources should have nothing to do with a reader-of-your-post's employment history.
