Union Members Unite!

Being your own hair stylist when you're bald, hardly constitutes your own company.

What do you do for a living Andrew?

 

And yet his name is still on the cup

Come on Andrew, what do you do for a living? I'm calling you out. I know your still a kid. Your a student at WVU. Back home you work for your daddy. I was walkin steel when you were home playing with your little sisters barbies. Extensive safety traning? You bet your ass! And I thank God for it. You spend the day five miles under ground, or 160 feet in the air on a 6 inch I beam. Then lets talk union. So don't come on a thread marked "union members unite" and run your mouth about how unions are'nt needed. Spend one day with me sunny boy, and I'll show you what a man does for a living.

 

I have big respect for the iron workers , union or not

 

Where does one walk on ibeam five miles underground? I've been underground plenty of times, never seen anything that deep. Worked for a few mines, received plenty of safety training. Never union.

edit: okay

 

Thanks OZ, there's a place for all of us, union or not.

But yeah I have a ton of respect for Iron workers. Union or non union. But, I live in VA, where the word Union doesnt really go over well. Most of the Union houses for workers here are located in DC or MD

 

I know I'm comming across hard core union. The truth is there's some things that really piss me off about union's. It's not needed most places. Small buisiness? Hell no! I guess what got under my skin was an 18 year old kid telling a man he was washed up, or whatever he said. I run a crew of anyware from 5 to 25 guys. Ages 18 to 60. There is no way in hell I would put up with that kind of disrespect from anyone.

That's fair but the truth is businesses are in business to stay in business and make a profit. You can work as hard as you want but if you're not actually providing any value, producing, then you're not of any worth to the company. You're not entitled to a job, even if you do work hard. That's just how it is. I think that's a fair thing to say and I think that's all he was trying to say.

 

If you look at a businesses pie chart for expenses wages are a small piece of the pie.

Hey-O! International Association of Machinist LL839 checkin' in. Work for Spirit Aerosystems.

 

When you go to the doctor what are you paying for? Is it the work preformed, or the knowledge he has? Its both. I know what your saying. I want an honest dollar, and the company deserves an honest hour. It has to be a happy marriage. If it isn't we lose twinkies. Unions are so vastly different it really isn't accurate to pass judgment on them as a singular entity.
