problems can be better taken care of with dialogue

Hi Quin,

I have not posted on unions before but I feel a need to now. I studied labor history in college so I do know what I am talking about. I think that unions do serve a purpose in some cases but in a lot of others can be destructive. In the case of UPS, because they want on strike many people were laid off and I for one don't think that was a positive aspect of unions. Another case is when my stepfather was a truck driver . In the late 70's during the truckers strike ind. drivers were murdered. Im not saying that fast food restaurant are perfect but I think the problems can be better taken care of with dialogue. People need to start talking about changes and needs. No one will ever make it rich working in fast food but it can be a good job. So my advice to corporations and managers and employees is to start constructive dialogue and make changes asap.
