Unions made America great. Then they ruined it. Like all forms of socialism/communism, it only works for a little while. | |||

______________________________________ The ones keeping ammo in short supply. ______________________________________ Remington the gun maker was split off, as was the ammo division. They are separate companies owned by different people, I believe, but bought the rights to retain the name. No one is "creating" an ammo shortage except consumers. | |||

Nope. That's the thing about bankruptcy; this procedure can and will protect the buyer from the mistakes that the prior owner made, including any outstanding contracts. After all the buyer didn't sign these deals, and besides all they may be buying is whatever cherry picked bones that are worth having to do with as they please. We already know that they certainly were not buying the company in its entirety as it stood just prior to the bankruptcy filing. The union has no leg to stand on from a contract standpoint, but they could easily try to put political pressure through their contacts in New York's Democratic power base. -MG | |||

People that really don’t know much about unions lump them all together as one and the reality is that most are like what you have experienced. | |||

The ones keeping ammo in short supply. It might be cheaper to build a new plant with all new machinery to the sunny south with friendly laws and lower heating bills. The ammo division was bought by Vista, not this company. I doubt the company will see a long term association with the state of NY. In the end most of those employees will be gone. Calling back solely based on sonority may sound good to them based on the contract but are they the best people to get the company back in operation? Maybe not. | |||

I was in the teachers union. 100% corrupt that was only self serving. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Agreed. The union I was around allowed employees to show up and almost never work. They are an arm of the Democrats. AFLCIO is basically a crime organization. Unions exist to further unions and not much else. They impede progress and are bloated worthless entities. "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." FBLM LGB! | |||

I read somewhere that Richmond Italia, managing partner at Roundhill Group LLC, said the first guns that will roll off the production line will be 870s. I hope they start producing their staples: 870, 11-87 and 700. OEM parts for these guns have virtually dried up. _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.

Unions, love them or hate them. BUT they did have a role in making America great. The sad part is their affiliation with with 'socialist' ideology and the corruption of their "leaders". I've seen the benefits and negative side of them. Their history relates to times when they were needed. Does the need still exist today? It depends on who's the boss! -------------------------------- On the inside looking out, but not to the west, it's the PRK and its minions! | |||

I doubt we will ever see another Remington firearm. Think back to emails earlier this year from CDNN and Midwayusa.com selling stripped receivers, barrels, stock sets etc. I suspect the "old" Remington liquidated the entire parts inventory for $. I suspect the union is getting all worked up and bothered over jobs that are never coming back. | |||

And I dont think the Remington union members (or their lawyer) were paying attention when Kimber left NY and went south of the Mason-Dixon line. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Actually they unions do have recourse here, because the buyers agreed to honor the contract as part of the terms of the sale.

Given the quality of Remingtons long guns in the past 5 years. It would be better to bulldoze the plant, build a new one in the South without crazy taxes and a union, and start from scratch. | |||
