This is what happens in the absence of unions....

"just because the union says it isn't your job..."

I really like this one: you a member of the AFL-CIO, Bob?

Does anybody know the cost of the NFL Union? And is it worth a pint of piss? MOST Unions would never let a company bring in another guy to do a job when there was a guy who was next in line for it.......Meaning what happened in Miami when they brought in Jay Cutler off the streets to be the QB even though Miami had a 2nd string QB, You would think that guy would of got his chance.........

most American workers are in unions for good reasons. to be treated fairly, paid fairly...etc.
but they fund some bigtime anti-American punks on the big screen:
mostly, the AFL/CIO. Teamsters......

The idea of a union is a good thing, Now as for all the union dues, um where is that money going? Like Cal said, To fund anti American all left morons. That is a scam on it's own. If I belong to a union and the dues are funding some Left side hack that I hate and would NEVER vote for.........It is a joke.

read this too, Bob.

Wow. I read a lot of your posts about the "emotional left," which I can usually agree upon. But there you go, doing exactly the same.
My union dues, $65/month go as follows...$0.50 cents to our local AFL-CIO, $13 to OAPFF (Ohio Association ofProfessional Firefighters), $13 to IAFF (International Association of Firefighters). The remaining funds go into my Local (Berea FFs) where we back local little league programs, award a scholarship to a Berea-Midpark graduating senior, donate to the Make- A -Wish Foundation, MDA(Muscular Dystrophy), Berea Welfare, Metro Burn Unit, and in addition, buys our condiments, newspaper, and coffee. We also have a savings account if we need $$ for contract negotiations.
I served 15 years as our local President, never took a dime. Never asked for a dime either...see, unions aren't so evil afteralll.
-
Ok Bob, that is good but did you ever need the union over the last 15 years? Did they benefit you? Now the way it looks the union dues were going to a good use but that is not always the case and I will even say this is far and few between.

Yes ! Back in the day, unions got workers fair wages and tair labor policies, etc. Without that, a lot of us would have grown up
in poverty maybe. But without right to work, unions have gotten so powerful, they do anything they want, spend whatever they want,
and all those little guys who pay their dues just keep working, and paying their dues.

I never said your Firefighter union was bad, Bob. But you defend all unions as a group. I'm not being emotional, I just decided that since you apparently got upset with me talking the bad about bad unions, you'd go ridicule pic. haha. two can play that game.
That you give one penny to the corrupt marxist/communist maniac richard trumpka of the AFL/CIO is a disgrace, Bob. When we walk by Firefighters collecting donations, we always donate. But the AFL-CIO? you can not MAKE me donate even a piece of grass to richard trumpka mafia wannabe somebietch. Should I post more about dangerous, corrupt richard trumpka?
Can you stop that 50 cents going to trumka? or the union says you roll over and pay it, or afl-cio thugs
will get teamsters thugs to break legs?

Spot on Cal. And always have the facts to back up what you say. I grew up in a house where my Dad was a well I wont say what union but from my early childhood on I always heard how great they were and blah blah blah. Well when I got to be like 14 I remember there was talk of a possible strike because they were going to fire a guy for drinking on the job, and showing up to work drunk.........I was like, if he goes to work drunk and drinks on the job he should be fired. My dad was not happy with me, That is when I started to question things and when I decided I was not going to be like dear old dad and never vote democrat like he did.

Absolutely I did, and others needed it as well.
You guys read about Lowe's down in Florida? Workers were being told they'd be fired if they didn't come to work after Irma....that's why unions are needed.
-
If that is true, (Not calling you a liar just know a lot of fake news) Then the public backlash would destroy Lowes and the Attorney General would have to step in with all the public out cry.

I grew up with most years - My Dad was in a big union;. We had a great life - fair treatment, solid wages, overtime, vacations,
you know - without the unions, they would never have had those. In later years, it was different. Great living, but there were
union members who wanted to strike for stupid ass stuff because they wanted a big vacation. and the union bosses were making
millions and millions and... things changed. Like my supervisor said - in the older days, it was about fairness. Later years,
it was about GREED, and sending more and more money up the pike to the powerful union bosses.

There's corruption everywhere, doesn't mean it should be tolerated.
I'm not going to ever convince you or others who are anti union that they are needed.
