As far as I'm concerned, unions suck!

I am Proudly a Non-Union Carpenter!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho!

 

I try REAL hard NOT to get involved in POLITICS................

Some people need a union to keep GREEDY business owners from raping the hell out of their hard work and dedication towards their work.........

It works for you Rod (not being in a union) cause YOU can make the rules that work for YOU.........
Please DON'T be so quick to judge what other people need........ Sorry just my 2 pennys worth [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I never had to strike, threatened to though, but, the company always came through and saw things our way.

 

I don't blame you, unions can be a pain the the **** at times, but, I'll welcome that pension check every month [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Not everybody with a trade such as yours can be in business for themselves, it takes a special breed to unertake that and suceed, my hat's off to you.

I'm a real mugwump on the union issue. Been on both sides of strikes, locked out as union labor and locked in as part of the management team keeping the plant running. Been a union local president, shop steward and on bargaining teams for both union and management. It really depends on the size of the operation and the attitude of the company involved. We have had a couple of unions that wanted to organize people that worked for us, our employees told them to get lost, and even got picketed once. My opinion, work in the situation that is best for you. Advantages both ways, just don't stay in a job you'r not happy in.
