Loyalty to a specific employer went out the window over 20 years ago, Supe.....It is a thing of the past. That happened when management changed to a philosophy of "To hell with the worker; it's all for us..."

Despite the fact there are "bad actors" both in management and unions, there was once in large companies (and small) a feeling of interdependence. Management realized that they depended on labor for profits and labor understood their dependence on management for continuing employment. Despite strikes, negotiations, etc, each party "gave in" to some extent, both grumbled about not geting everything they wanted and all walked around the table secretly pleased with the results. It was a game and everyone understood that.

That is mostly gone now. No management loyalty = no labor loyalty.
