Tough Times Boost Union Action,But Gains Could Prove Temporary.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(Q & A)
Byline: Joseph Guinto
Two headlines will have likely stood out this Labor Day: "Terrible Traffic" and "Worker Woes."
Traffic troubles are an annual event over the summer's last big holiday. But workers haven't faced such serious job worries in years.
With the economy in a downturn, dozens of major companies are cutting back. Lucent is axing 15,000. Motorola 30,000. Procter & Gamble 9,500. Citigroup 4,000.
Now unions are seizing on the uncertainty to boost their numbers. Typically they've had little success in turbulent times. But that hasn't stopped major efforts around the country.
At Delta Airlines, a drive is on to unionize 1,000 mechanics and 20,000 flight attendants. At Nissan's U.S. operations, 6,000 workers could be unionized.
At Boeing, 5,000 engineers are considering joining a union. Similar stories are playing out in an array of jobs, from journalism to health care.
