In general we delivery above average products in a quarter the time that our competitors are capable of. If you are just average at the job you won’t make it in my shop which is part of why our compensation is a significant percentage above average. Unionizing would mean a 30% pay cut (I’d lose my home at that rate) and half the benefit coverage for me. Maybe it’s their way of keeping the union out (the printer union is notoriously difficult to deal with) but I’ll happily reap the benefits of that arrangement.
The question is:
What are they getting out of your relationship that more worth it to them?
