I love the attitude of so many on here who seem to basically support employers no matter what they do. I'm hardly a die-hard labor supporter, but some of you guys are over the top.

Employer doesn't have to stay in business if the union makes it more trouble than its worth.
Employees don't have to accept pay cuts to keep their jobs.
I don't see the problem -- they both seem to have gotten what they want.
