how is it "unfair" when someone stops giving you free luxuries without asking? just buy your own beer (and better!). or better yet, stop drinking so much that you take it for granted! :P

You can stop drinking if you want.

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

it isn't that it's free, it's a part of their negotiated compensation package. I bet this would all go away quietly if the company had attempted to negotiate rather than just drop the hammer. People tend to like being treated like people instead of lines on a ledger.

everyone in one way or another is a ledger to someone, nobody is that special.  we  like to think we are but really we aren't.

True, but folks in high places should have "people skills".

Damn!

And I thought the Navy had a pretty sweet retirement package.

Now where did I leave those Special Request chits...?

that's a lot of beer per month. i don't think that even i could drink that much without running into problems.

but at least a labor union is doing something worthwhile  [thumbsup]

Good point.
But when it comes down to it, would these people rather have their beer benefit cut, or their job cut?
But then again, i guess union employees cant get fired.
So much for motivation for individual effort.
