Jesus and a Union Guy

Two managers and a union worker were fishing on a lake one day, when Jesus
walked across the water and joined them in the boat.

When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the first
guy asked humbly, "Jesus, I've suffered from back pain ever since I took
shrapnel in the Vietnam war...could you help me?" "Of course, my son", Jesus
said, and when he touched the man's back, he felt relief for the first time
in years. The second man, who wore very thick glasses and had a hard time
reading and driving, asked if Jesus could do anything about his eyesight.
Jesus smiled, removed the man's glasses and tossed them in the lake. When
they hit the water, the man's eyes cleared and he could see everything
distinctly.

When Jesus turned to heal the union worker, the guy put his hands up and
cried defensively, "Don't touch me! I'm on long term disability."

It is easy to see that you have a prejudice against working people.
Rest assured if a guy was on long term disability he was disabled.
They go to great lengths to monitor anyone who might be playing the
system. Very very few if any get away with cheating.
This kind of prejudice is encouraged by the likes of Wall Street who
want slave wage labor.
In case you're wondering where the term wage slave came from it was the
North. In coincidence with the arrival of the Irish from the potato
famine the Industrialists got rid of their slaves which were expensive
to feed, clothe and house etc. They hired the Irish and anyone else so
desperate to work for as little as ten cents a day. If they fell, ill,
died or simply didn't perform they were replaced by one of horde
waiting for their jobs. They worked little kids, old women, and everyone
else worse than they would work a slave. If they worked a slave to death
they were expensive to replace.

Lu-ser is a marginal guy who also tells crappy jokes about blacks and
women. As such, he's given the "high five" by several other members of
the right-wing contingent here. I doubt he's done a day of hard, honest
work in his entire life, nor does he have any skills.

I see it's easy for you to make snap judgments about other people. I have no
prejudices against working people, having been one myself for many years.
Born to a sharecropper, I was first in my extended family to finish high
school and college. What I saw of unionists was my father working for
starvation wages for the railroads, paying his required union dues, and
getting little in return. Union stewards didn't look out for the working
men; they feathered their own nests.

My father taught me the value of honesty and hard work, which has served me
well. I was in a western police department and saw the growth of police
unions. At first, the union was a valid and necessary answer to poor
management, which is the usual case. Then, as it matured the union grew fat
and lazy. It no longer served its membership, and was nearly unseated by a
more militant union. The end result was an unlawful police strike that
lasted for almost two weeks. When the members returned to work, the union
settled on a contract that was LESS than the city's final offer before the
members hit the bricks. The wages lost during the strike took three years to
recoup after the strike. The union officials were replaced by more
reasonable persons, who themselves became fat and lazy.

When I retired as assistant chief of police years later, the union was
spending huge amounts of money to keep incompetent police officers from
being fired. It was so bad, the union trustees forced the resignation of the
president and his henchmen. I went on to serve as police chief in two
southern police departments.

Am I prejudiced about unionists? Nope. I know them first hand for what they
evolve into.

Be that as it may, I'm not interested in a ****ing contest. If you don't
like my postings, put me in your kill file, like I did to Hairy Harry
Krause.

Pure BS
My Father was a sharecropper prior to his entry into the Army in 37.
He worked in a factory from 49 until 82. He was in a Union. He enjoyed
the average wage and benefits and the negotiating power of the union for
a fair shake. If not for the Union he would have been treated like what
we see in so many cases today: variable hours, underpay, little benefits
or none and no pension.
You got your bs from TV.

See my previous post.
little hasty in being to condemning.
I myself was on the other side of the table. We however did not have
acrimoniously relationship with our Employees. We hoped Corporate would
give them more. Everything they got we got.
W gave green stamps for no injuries on the job. We gave Turkeys and Hams
at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everybody had the first two weeks of July
off for vacation.
Employer relations with its workers no are more strained. Wall Street is
not into producing anything or understanding manufacturing or anything
else. They would seek slave labor if they could. They seem to be trying
anyway.
My better half works at a very technical very involved job requiring a
lot of intuitiveness and ability to keep the the systems up. The new
attitudes introduced by Wall Street is driving them off and killing the
Company. The Company made record profits last year and before. Without a
Union they would be in the s***er.
Unions as any type organization have a lot of differences from one to
the other. To condemn Unions because of perceived or real excesses of
one is a disservice to Workers who are the Union.
The Global Corporate World is trying to destroy Unions and reintroduce
slave labor at whatever level it can get away with.
Maximum profits is the only moral or immoral imperative they recognize
and the People that make them the money are being regarded more and more
as cattle. Unions helped many Americans realize the American Dream.
The American Dream is not about the Global Corporate elites. It is about
Americans achieving the American Dream not living hand to mouth. The
Unions have been the only thing to keep Americans out of the Feudalistic
dream of the realitive hand full of Global Ruling Economic Aristocracy.
If that bunch hadn't had their hands on the throttle the last several
years this recession and everybody's lives wouldn't have been turned
topsy turvy. No more Corporatism. Get the Lobbyists out of Washington.
Public only financing of political campaigns. Get the Global/Foreign
Merchants and Bankers out of our Government and return our prosperity.

LOL! Are you implying that non-union people are *not* working people?
What horse****.

One of my brothers is an investigator for insurance/disability fraud.
Plenty occurs, or he would be out of a job.

True, but many try.

Oh, Harry, another sock puppet.

In case you're wondering where the term wage slave came from it was the
North. In coincidence with the arrival of the Irish from the potato

Notice your continued use of the word 'were'? That should tell you
something.
