Funny stuff. Railroads pay living wages to their employees, and that
really, truly ****es off right-wing assholes.
Actually what ****es us off is paying premium wages to "fire proof"
employees who fall asleep in the cab and crash their trains, derail
with hazardous cargo and put us all in danger..
I'd bet far more rail accidents and fatalities are the result of
corporate decisions, such as deferred maintenance, shorting of crews,
working of crews too many hours.
You righties are funny guys, in that you will readily dismiss all manner
of corporate misbehavior, but if you can pin a rap on a working stiff,
you're all for it.
Small sampling and just my observation from working with and knowing
many fellow "working stiffs", it seems to me that the ones who
complain most about their working conditions, pay and overall job
satisfaction have been those who belonged to unions. Maybe it's because
there is always that "management versus worker" mentality going on.
Always something to bitch about.
My son's father-in-law was union all his working career. He's a great
guy but we groan when the subject of work comes with him because it
ignites a half hour round of complaining and bitching about his former
employer. He's been retired for over 2 years and still can't get it out
of his system.
Right, because we all know that the boss is king and that the
worker-serfs are lucky to have a job and should just take whatever it
dished out, and take it with a big smile.
Assume my observations are valid and more widespread. Why are those
least satisfied with their jobs "protected" by unions?
What working experience do you have ... meaning employment ... where
*you* were were subject to the king boss and had to take whatever the
job dished out? Ever? I suspect zero.
