training is a good thing. the union in question here has nothing to do with that though.
assembly line work is not a specialized and highly skilled field. there may be some skill required to do a specific job here and there, but for teh most part it is a guy standing there screwing in a seat belt at a time.
why should i pay that guy $20+/hr? why would i have an automatic raise schedule for him without adding to his responsibilities or requiring him to prove anything to learn more? why woudl i let him move up in rank on the line just for not quiting or falling over dead(seniority)?
without any incentive to work better or cheaper most people won't. that is where the union fails in a plant enviroment.
with a skilled type labor like you work in that will obviously be different. you have to take tests and actually learn more to move up in your trade.
