Yeah like Jimmy Hoffa Jr started the war in Iraq, doubled the price of fuel in 3 years, and cleared the way for NAFTA. You dont think corrupt business and political leaders are a lot of the problems? Its all about corporate greed. They look out for themselves not you. Originally Posted by got mud?

Welcome to fantasy island. I'll bet you wouldn't say that if you worked there. Most local jobs all operate based on seniority, union and non union both.Originally Posted by got mud?
the job should go to the person that does it the best. not the guy that hangs out doing just enough to get by the longest.
My point is unions are not the problem with things today. Whether you are union or not trust me when I say your employer doesnt give a :dung: if you live or die, eat or starve. They're in it for themselves, as they should be. And I'm in it for myself, not them. Yes I am a teamster and I dont agree with everything they stand for but they do more good than harm. They make the company follow the rules and not crap all over us by changing policy whenever they feel like. If corporate America always did the right thing there would be no need for unions. Its all about balance, give and take. Unions even the playing field, and yes, sometimes they get out of hand. But how is that any worse than a non union company like Conway who terminated their pension plan 2 years ago. There wasn't a thing the drivers could do about it. The pension may have been a deciding factor to work there and after x amount of years the company just changed their mind. A union may not have stopped them but it would have at least fought them, given the worker a voice. It would have made Conway think twice knowing they had a fight on their hands. You cant blame the problems of the world on unions. Blame it on good old fashioned greed.
