No Sam, companies left because there are workers in other parts of the world who will work for almost nothing improving their bottom lines on the ledger pages. When I have a problem with my United reservation, you end up in India and takes them a half hour of "One moment pleases" to fix the problem. The last time I checked, that a long distance call via whatever means. Whatever United saved by cutting off its Union reservation clerks here in the States has to be lost in this questionable foreign labor pool and phone calls.
One thing I strongly believe in, if there is an agreement in place, both sides need to honor it to the letter. No exceptions. If you don't like it, don't sign it.
