Ya, I have always had a grudge against unions, a while back I was a machine
mechanic keeping machines running at a bottling department in a winery. I
say thousands of wine bottles go by per day and when a machine broke down I
would repair it, or keep them maintained. If I wasn't fixing a machine I was
maintaining them. Not like the union slobs who will only fix, then read the
newspaper. I had to keep working, doing something when everything was
working. Anyway, I was new and it was a union shop, once per month the boss
would come to me and lay me off for a day. This kept me out of the union.
Should I have worked 30 days consecutive, then I qualified for union
membership. So, the boss didn't want me to be laid off for a day and this
would have parachuted me into the union, it was my turn. I asked for the lay
off, I did not want on the union. They let me go. I went to a plant that
prints the National Enquirer magazine (or one of those monthly papers, and a
few other flyers). Same thing, maintaining their presses and printers. Good
job, very good money, but came time for me to join the union. That was the
rules. So I had to go. But because of this, I received such a better job,
sales and customer service, and my income doubled and I continued school.
The best things that ever happened to me.
By the way, the winery went tits up near 10 years ago, and the printing
press company is now moving their equipment to Mexico.
So, see, I could have been a union slob myself,, they tried to screw me then
and they continue to try now. So from my own experience, I can honestly say
that unions did me no good, now I can see that they have done the entire
continent no good. Except themselves, at that time. They lived for the day,
now, no vision, no proactive or long term strategies. Just what can we get
right now attitude. For themselves. Very selfish people and it is in their
blood, it is in their way of living. And now, now that all the jobs are
migrating to more labor friendly and laborer co-operative countries, the
union slobs here (who are 100% to blame for this) will blame Bush.
LOL,, I never thought any of those slobs were too smart. Not even as a
whole.
Ever saw the movie the Great White Hope? With Bob White? LOL,,, about 10
years or 15 year old movie. Ya gotta see these morons. Harry's heroes.
I remember being in a plant, and I privately called in to repair some
machine that my company supplied to the Auto Industry. Buzz Hargrove walked
through the plant. All the workers applauded this guy as he walked through.
Talk about puppets and puppet masters. So Harry, Don, Asskisser and the
other one are actually puppets. And your right, they have no intrinsic
personal skills that add value to an operation. Definitely not at a
competitive rate anyway. Proof there is that their labor is easily replaced
with off shore labor.
Then the morons are here trying to give advice or make OT comments about
political situations. LOL, I always find it funny that those who know the
least, speak the loudest as if they knew the most. I never did think these
boys were too smart.



You're in sales and customer service? You are fairly close to
functionally illiterate. What are you selling?

BTW, the Great White Hope is a movie at least 30 years old, starring
James Earl Jones, the terrific actor, playing Jack Johnson.

And your buddy Buzz recently was re-elected by acclimation.

You're a loser, fellow. Your history reads as if you are a malcontent
who couldn't keep a job longer than 30 days.
