This morning it was 70 degrees, and sunny when I got on the road, still wearing a short sleeve shirt.

California has the weather. Screw NH!

the extra fags we'd hire were usually Union...

Geez, I knew you were lonely since Jizzy dumped you, but you actually have to pay guys for it now?

Poor GAyR

[FORD]

Union fags are chumps. Unions are what broke corporate to look elsewhere such as Mexico Canada and China for cheaper labor

Always comes back to those goddamn Mexicans taking your toilet cleaning job, doesn't it?

BTW asshole, what made corporations look elsewhere for labor was called corporatist "free" trade (i.e. NAFTA) which was opposed by .................


drum roll please..........





THE UNIONS, you pathetically stupid piece of shit!

[sadaist]

UNION jobs that actually produce something.

You mean something other than overpriced products and bankrupt companies?

Funny how none of these companies went bankrupt until the corporatist policies began by the BCE in 1981 started systematically dismantling the unions, the middle class, and the American manufacturing base.

IF YOU HAVE:

· An eight hour workday
· A five day work week
· Paid sick days, vacation days, and holidays
· Family and medical leave
· Health, life, and disability insurance
· A pension
· Safe and healthy working conditions
· Proper job training

THEN THANK A UNION MEMBER.

I've had all that for nearly 30 years... no Union what-so-ever.

[ELVIS]

And i'm sure not being paid $65 per hour (plus benefits and retirement) to turn a screw or snap cheap plastic together...

So what does that mean? You're more worthy of it than the rest of us lazy fucks who wouldn't have it without a union?

Dismantling? The unions are more powerful today than they have ever been.

And again, this goes back to the big powerhouse unions - I did FAR more than what you describe, and was paid MUCH less for it.

Stop painting unions with such a broad brush. If you want to have a bitch with the process, then name names. SAY UAW - SAY Steelworkers. I refuse to believe that NABET screwed up the fabric of America, or many many other smaller unions like it.

Tell that to PATCO.

OK. That's a long list of what the corporations gave to the unions. But what did the corporations get in return? Employees who showed up at work instead of creating a picket line and no demonstrations to disrupt their place of business?

[ELVIS]

Ok...UAW

[Sensible Shoes]

Thank you.

[WACF]

Unions COST too much!

Unions save lives.....

As a unionized miner...nobody will ever tell me different...I live it.
