Exactly.....Have you ever worked for a private family, owned company? My only experience here was as good as it gets...The family did everything they could to provide all the things employees ask for and deserved. Never any attempt to unionize in the 100+ year history of the company. Financial problems forced the family to bring in outside "experts". I might mention here that this was textile manufacturing company. Within a year turnover tripled and there were many very unhappy people...These experts, were of course, trying to save the company but alienating everyone who had made the company what it was including our customers who wouldn't deal with our demands as their supplier....End result.....banckruptcy....company is gone....


>I agree entirely. However, the problem with good management is that even when you have it, it doesn't last very long. Eventually there is a turnover and once again-it is time for a union. However, very seldom are the unions any better than management!

>>Agreed....although in my experience if you truely have "good management", you won't have a Union present. I have been in both situations and would take the "good management" situation any day. They are getting very hard to find. Unfortunately, the bottom line usually gets in the way...turning good management to bad and causing unhappy campers throughout the organization....
