Hollywood's Writers' Strike

My father worked for IBM for over 30 years. While he was there they were never unionized. (I have no idea if they are now.) One of the reasons was that they paid very high wages and benefits for the industry, and had a reputation of loyalty to their workers. Employees weren't interested in unionizing because there was no advantage - they didn't need it.

Amazing how productive a happy, well cared for workforce can be.
