move where there is a non-union workforce.
generally doing the right things.
break the union. discipline people for not working, loafing.
I don't have much contact except my direct report leader. He's good.
Spend more time identifying strengths and talents and actively supporting and encouraging growth opportunities.
Hire quality people. Hourly and salary. Leaders mentor, insulate and groom your employees for success.
Emphasis on young college grads (I'm a college grad) and interns is not great for a mature culture.
Over middle-aged employees seem to be left to wither/go away. Little value seems to be placed on experience, mature talent.
I used to work for another large aircraft manufacturer. I took a 40-45% pay cut to come here to be near family. Their pay was much more competitive, though it was a more expensive area.
