Pros

Good pay and benifits. When you need to take a day without pay for personal reasons they aways let me.

Cons

Hard on your body to walk on slag. Other employees take advantage of the company because they are in a Union and the sleep at work or slack off. When I got laid off it was with 7 other workers who were all hard workers we just didn't have the seniority. Wheras the older senior workers (not all but enough) were lazy and some would sleep or slack off 6 hours of a 8 hour shift.

Advice to Senior Management

Nothing you can do about the union rules. But try to buck against the union when it comes to the employees that you know don't do their jobs. That way you keep the employees that really work hard and appreciate working for you.
