Revisiting Auntie Eu-la - Part I

 

Our recent blog mentioning "Auntie Eu-la" brought some interesting responses. One we took to mean that unions cause trouble. Really?

How do unions cause trouble? We are aware that large companies sometimes bring in strikebreakers who can become the objects of violence. This is rare. As far as we know, it's never happened in the Shoals.

How about entities closing? (Everyone knows about the local Krogers.) Good union reps know when to push and when to back off. The local Kroger stores were all pretty much in older buildings and in areas where Food World was super stiff competition. The union should have known to back off; that doesn't mean all unions are trouble.

We'll repeat our take on unions: If workers vote yes, then have a union. If workers vote no, then don't have a union. Kay Ivey has no business attempting to sway opinion with rhetoric that would make Kamala Harris blush.
