Getting worse every year

Pros

Pay and health insurance, easy training

Cons

Every year our time off gets worse. Expected to do more with less. Every contract we vote down and it gets shoved down our throat through arbitration. We used to be able to move into management but that is next to near impossible anymore. Billion dollar company doesn’t 401k. One man crews are coming in a couple years.
