This Leadership Course is Torture

[dposborne]

As a manager over IBEW employees I would beg to differ. Usually an incomprehensible amount of proof is needed to terminate an employee that is "protected" by the contract. I can give you a few examples where employees failed fit for duty tests (positive hit on urinalysis) and still had a job after all was said and done because it was the company's responsibility to send them to rehab and give them another chance...

A lot of times I feel that there is a need for the union, but a lot of other times I really feel that it's there to protect the ones who like to play the games...
