Wow, fellas, you guys are really upset. Over here in the states most of us techs and engineers don't even have unions. We are really lucky to be employed. It is nasty out there. I have always wondered about the union and its benefits and pitfalls. I only know of one forklift dealer that had technicians that belonged to the union.

Help me get educated on this. What exactly is the benefit of the union? What would I expect? I mean parts/service, rental, and everything is way down so, I don't really know where the money would come from.
