How did union leadership cause the members to be locked out and replaced because of unmeetable demands...
The union ask for what the employees tell them to ask for.. The employer makes counter demands... and the employees vote on whether to except or make more counter demands...
Lockout occurs when neither side is willing to give or to negotiate... the company then does what it feels it has to do...
Union leaders (the high echelon included) are voted in by the union workers...
In damn near every contract I've been involved with, the union actually kept the workers from asking for the unreasonable...
