Unions suck

[Mr Boozificator]

I must weigh in on the side of "suck"

My company shows product at a trade show at the Mart in Chicago, every year. Our product is one that involves major assembly, on site, and power tools (drills) are necessary. The problem is that the Merchandise Mart has it's on labor crew, which of course is unionized, being that it is Chicago. That being the case, we cannot operate the power tools without one of these jackasses supervising us, or doing the work themselves, at a rate of about $45-50.00 per hour.

Since these guys aren't familiar with our assembly process, it basically boils down to us paying these turkeys to sit in our presence, and drink a coke, while we do all of the work.

Total insanity!

Thank you my friend of the mellifluous pipes!

Shall we also mention the thuggery that union members exhibit constantly?

Even mentioned on the leftists' beloved MSNBC:

There's more - but do your own homework. I was there and saw it firsthand - the detestable Communications Workers of America routinely defended reps who stole sales from other reps and outside guys who set up a manhole and left it to go drink all afternoon.

Unions are despicable. Period. And yes, if I work harder, I deserve a bigger raise. Fuck off to all entitled parasites who think they deserve like raises for just showing up and underperforming and feel like they're owed more each year for doing same. I call bullshit.

Jeekas. What happened to the work ethic that built this great country? You of the entitled mindset disgust me.

NYDingbat, I have come across you before proclaiming Democrats to be communists and being all paranoid about some Marxist conspiracy or what not, so the "Unions are despicable" comment should come as no surprise to me. But fuck you for calling unionized workers parasites. Seriously, fuck off. Either you are a troll or a seriously misinformed and unwitting shill. Either way I think you should shut the fuck up because you are a stupid person.

P.S. I am really a nice guy. Its just that hateful, ignorant bullshit makes me a very grumpy Gus.

I don't know much about trade unions in USA but I don't like your language so I've just decided you're an offensive cunt. The offensive cunt gets to pay the next seven rounds. Welcome to the pub.

Funny story, right before I got out of school for tool and die the Northwest mechanics union came a callin' to recruit new employees. Shortly after that the union went on strike and got busted. Glad I didn't take that job.

Another odd factoid... Flight attendants, the ones at NWA were all union, making in the 50k+ range. Wonderful benefits, insurance, the whole nine, they worked 40 hours per month. Not 40 per week. 40 per month. And people wonder why plane tickets cost so much. Then they started cutting pay because the airline was giving them the same stink eye it gave the mechanics. Good times.

Local #3 Operating Engineers, here.

Unions made the middle-class.

[waahoohah]

Ex-Machinist union here.

I got sick of the beauocracy. If that's how it's spelled. I couldn't pay bills with benefits, is what it means.

In my opinion, unions got into the problem they're in because they kept pushing for "MORE! MORE! MORE!", instead of "FAIR! FAIR! FAIR!"

[waahoohah]

Just like Congress, now that I think about it.....

Really nice guys don't counter fact with hate and then call it that, or screw with Dingbat with the FU. The story she told about the Chicago show is true, been there, done that.

You're welcome to pick pockets, but be polite about it, Stalin.

Ah GTFO with that reactionary stuff. It's about time to pick some pockets. And stop being a white knight- wrong is wrong. This bullshit about being "nice and civil" to eachother when we argue will only obscure the truth and make the rich richer.

America is circling the flush hole of socialist fantasy.

See you on the other side of the wormhole, let's see who gets along better without a federal subsidy.

You, right? Who's the real parasite? America is the most armed country on earth, Expect Hell.

It is the case in my country for sure. They are now poisoning the very ones they are supposed to protect.

I saw a pre-release/not-quite-done version of this one over the weekend.

the Unions of yore were quite a bit different than what we got today.

btw - I'm drinking Bloody's with a beer back this am. Because that's what we do around here.

How 'bout you bitches?

Putting up the steel blinds and door barracade in case DeeboCools comes over with his guns to give me hell.

Nah, just shittin' ya. I'm down at the UAW hall tossing back Kool-Aid with the Real Americans.

[Surreal]

Just wrapped up shots with Bur on the drunkardchat. Keep sucking down that Kool-aid brother Smatter. I gots meetings to head to, I ain't going undrunk and they don't involve unions.

Cheers.

I LOVE ONIONS!
