It's very difficult to implement radical change in an organization when unions prevent you from firing low performers w/o exorbitant costs.

You see this across the public sector where it's practically impossible to get fired unless you do something egregious.

Lots of union defenders here ignoring that unions make reform impossible.

The problem isn't the unions. If you've interacted with Yellow you'd know that. It's that the company is disorganized and management is nowhere to be found.

Look at UPS - union shop, going strong. Management is organized. Company is doing fine.

UPS is not a comparable company.
No true union, I guess
