Again unions are fighting for things that are completely against the foundations of this country. In reading the bargaining updates for the CWA with AT & T, the website states the union rejects the Company's proposal of Pay for Performance. This is because the union rejects anything they see as not fair. A while back employees who had perfect attendance through the year were given gift certificates to local restaurants or movie tickets, this was gotten rid of by the union, because it was not fair to those who had to miss work. I have made comparisons with unions and communism, I would just compare it with socialism if it was not for the forceful intimidation that union leaders like to use. The above is just another reason why this is not a difficult comparison to make. In a free enterprise capitalist system there are incentives to be more productive. In a socialist system it does not matter what you do or how well you do it, the outcome will be the same. That is why in general union workers as with government workers are less productive as a whole. Not to say all government and union workers are not productive but those who are the most productive are brought down by those who are not, therefore on average there is less productivity. Pay for Performance is just one more thing the Union Leaders will not stand for because they would no longer have jobs.
