HD Union Strikers Unreasonable?

As the strike continues, more people are being affected by the lack of production. More people are speaking thier minds, urging striking workers to "get back to work"

It's getting to the point where I'm losing respect for the union workers in York, Pa who are striking against the Harley Davidson Motor Corp. The greed and hard line taken by the union is continuing to affect more people every day, from consumers to workers in other parts of the country.

People are being layed off in other parts of the country because of this strike by the union workers in York, Pa. The package they're being offered by Harley Davidson is decent. They're already making good money with good benefits at a successful company. They've got job security. But they are continually putting other families at risk of losing it all by being selfish and un-willing to compromise.

According to the York Daily Record, there are several comments being left by readers of the strike articles there urging the union to work things out and get back to work:

Here's what some have written: 'Please work it out'

Please work it out this time. ... I want to get back to work here in NE.

We are a subcontracting company that has had to lay off a lot of people due to the HD strike, including me. HD strikers, suck up your pride and get into reality, you are being offered a decent package ... better than what the vast majority of skilled/unskilled workers in the country that indirectly work for HD get.

'Not just take'

I do have a Road Glide on order and would love nothing more than the having the workers go back to work

But as a union member, there has to be some give and take. Not just take.

Good luck.

'More at stake ...'

There is more at stake here than just paying for insurance.

Why don't we all just keep going backwards in time until there is no more middle class, because that is what most Harley workers are.
