I am a front line supervisor. Thanks for the opportunity to ask a question as management without the flack that comes with it. Why did unions get away from policing their own? Stories I hear from people who work for me say that back in the day, the union helped keep the slackers from getting out of hand. That is definitely not the case anymore. My workers complain the union is "over protecting". Do you agree?

Slackers staying on the bottom is usually where the frustration arises. You have to promote by seniority, and if the most senior person does not deserve a promotion then no one gets a promotion. In practice anyway. Demotivates people in my experience.

Do you think fast food workers will be successful in unionizing? I feel for them, but unions are usually people of skill, which the fast food sector is not. Pretty much, if you are easily trained and replaced, a strike isn't effective. Right?

Do you think parking lots will accommodate electric cars in the near future? Would it be the person pays for the electricity used or time connected to the outlet?
