How is what you just posted going to help anyone . Put your name on here if you really don't care.
That company won't be around another year. It'll become an instrument manufacturer in China.
If numbers don't turn around that is when the next layoffs will be
Said I didn't care not that I would make it easy for them
Anyone think it is too late to Unionize?

Seems pretty straight forward
STEP ONE: Know Your Rights
Federal and state laws guarantee the right to form unions. Eligible employees have the right to express their views on unions, to talk with their co-workers about their interest in forming a union, to wear union buttons and to attend union meetings. (Supervisors and a few other types of employees customarily are excluded from coverage.)
Despite these laws, many employers strongly resist their employees' efforts to gain a voice at work through unionization. So, before youstart talking union where you work, get in touch with a union that will help you organize.
Find Out Which Union Is Right for You[/paste:font]
To form a union on the job, you need the backup and hands-on help from the union you are seeking to join. If you don't already know which union is most able to help you, find out more about the unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO by visiting their websites. Many of these websites enable you to contact the right person there directly to help you form a union.
In communities across the country, the AFL-CIO has local and state councils where unions come together to work toward common goals. To find out about union activity in your community, visit the website of your state federation of labor or central labor council or check local directory assistance for this phone listing. Staff members at these offices can put you in touch with a local union that is right for you.
Find Out About Working America[/paste:font]
If forming a union with your coworkers isn’t a real possibility for you, you can still be a part of the union movement by joining Working America, the AFL-CIO’s community affiliate for people who don’t have a union at work.
Get in Touch with a Union Organizer[/paste:font]
Union organizers assist employees in forming unions on the job to give them the same opportunity for a say at work, good wages and decent working conditions

Don't be afraid anymore! We have the right to form a Union. The longer we wait the less of us there will be.

Nothing to do with fear - it will not matter. The company currently does not need to number of employees it has - so go ahead and add more cost for the company to operate and see how fast your job disappears!
How do you figure? Seems like if we acted fast we would have some protection.
Well I don't know how I feel about a union, but as a company we are losing 15-30 people every three months since before long no one will be left anyway
Exactly. You can't bargain without leverage, and manufacturing employees no longer have any. No employees have any. China will just move everything to the motherland where labor is cheaper. They'll do it anyway, but this will force it to happen faster. Sad but true. They don't need or even want to keep paying people here. No way they'll deal with unions. But go ahead and try. More power to you if you think you can do it.
Well other than waiting for our jobs to disapear what can we do?
Leave them before you get dropped. OR live with the fear and try to keep your head down and kiss up to the right people.
20 plus years I have been on the floor, I am too old to start over some place else. I am terrified that I am going to lose my job.
Well glad to see upper management giving their two cents worth
