Companies need to wake up. Take away the right of an employee to be able to question, they become frustrated. The troops get frustrated, they organize. Cooperation is the key. I believe as companies get more global, they'll re-emphasis employee morale.
Happiness is a good business decision.
The only way to face global competition is for unions and companies to cooperate. Companies have to wake up and give the unions a piece of the pie. And the unions are going to have to say, 'hey, the days of striking and stopping a company from producing something are over. If they don't cooperate, they won't exist. Involve unions in major issues.
