What a effin load of bull excrement. The more I read about unions and their ridiculous agendas the more I'm satisfied that I decided to go with being a white collar worker.

39 months continuous disciplinary action before dismissal?

Crap

If you eff up here three times you're gone.
If you make a huge mistake with someone's money you're gone.
If you are representing your company in an important meeting and you badmouth your employer you can bet your bottom dollar you're gone.

Someone put in a law to eradicate unions and the country may survive future hurt.

I agree with 99% of your post, however the last sentence I don't.
There is a time and a place for unions but they themselves need to evolve into the 21st century like everyone has to.
The workplace is no longer an us vs them mentality.
The union at Toyota should look at how the German unions work with the manufacturers over there. The key there is work with and not threaten, demand or bully.

I just don't understand why they can't work with the company for the future of the employees. Are they blind to the excess entitlements or just greedy? We all need to have some kind of compromise to survive. Toyota rewarded their employees when the times were good and now that times are tough they need a little help to ensure the future of the plant and its employees. The union should be working with Toyota to achieve the goal.
