The Union is ridiculous and perpetrates the Us vs. Them mentality. SPX is a case study for Management gets the Union they deserve. The predecessor to SPX, Waukesha Transformer, treated employees so poorly that the employees voted to unionize at a time when unions were dying. Even Wal Mart employees rejected a union. The current management, as of 2018, are not necessarily bad people, just not leaders. Everything is reactive and just going through the motions. Lots of egos.
