I guess he was forced to accept the higher wages and better benefits
too. I am amazed how so many people are so opposed to work in union
shops and being forced to join the union and recent having to pay union
dues but who have no problem reaping the benefits. They expect to be
able to cross picket lines and work while the union is one strike and
don't have a problem with the union members walking the picket line and
sacrificing their pay to make things better for everyone, so long as
they don't have to make any sacrifice.
