Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
You are right - the long term consequences of conceding to the union demands are HUGE because the company cannot afford the cost and remain competitive. I would fight with the unions for something the company can afford and if they strike, so be it.
Ronald Reagan fired the striking air traffic controllers and replaced them. The automakers could have done the same. Don't forget, there will be similar pressures on union leaders from their workers to settle so the workers can get back to work.
I'll try to convince the BOD that this is the right thing for the company in the long run. Perhaps they'll fire me, perhaps they won't. Even if they do, that's ok as I'd rather be fired than command a sinking ship.
Many times the right thing is the hard thing and I get paid the big bucks to do the right thing for the company and it shareholders.
