Dude your living in the past.....the best pay i ever made and best benefits i ever made were in a non union shop. I work in a union shop but i am not union...i am a salaried employee. I wouldnt join a union if they asked me to.
Yeah if that stuff happened to my car there would be some ass beatings happening to the first person i caught. Thats the kind of bullshit i dont like about unions. They think they have the right to do whatever they want.
I had this very conversation with a young union employee who informed me one year when it looked like they might strike that if i crossed the picket line he would damage my car. Now this was with a guy i worked with every day. I was kind of shocked...i politely told him i had no intention of crossing any picket line but if my car were to get damaged by him he better be ready to get his ass kicked cause i dont play games like that.
Unions have long outlived their usefulness. Especially public sector unions. Making crazy pay and ridiculous benefits off of taxpayer money....total bullshit.
spoken like a true scab!
as for kicking some ones ass......most scabs are just talk and soon run for home and call the law...never meet one yet with balls!
you want to work in a union shop and draw the benefits...pay your dues...or be prepared...or move on....3 easy choices
shop before last where we had one like you...there was 30 of us...and you can't watch them all....but they will all watch you call for a ride home!
as for strikes...been there several times and they can get real nasty...but enough on all that...you have stated your position before...and I have told you my opinion before...haven't been in a union in 20 years...but still believe in them!....seen way to many employers just for the sake of a bad mood put someone out of work...on and on.....
