Apply for some gov't assistance coonman.
Your tax money supports these programs to help people like yourself when you need it.

At $12.00 / hour you almost better off trapping coon. Takes you what 5 hours of work to be able to feed yourself and a small family.

Does it also require an employer to keep on a slug doing inferior work, because of the union?[/quote]

The answer to that I beleive is No.

I beleive any company whether they have a union or not can fire an employee very easily in a right to work state now days.I do agree that a slug that does inferior work should be fired after a couple write ups if that employee does not improve.

But I have also seen people fired because of just preferential treatment and several other extremely weak reasons.So is it ok for a company or their management to fire for unjust and lame reasons ?

As a little side note I am not in a union or belong to a union. But I have noticed that alot of the best paying jobs with the best benefits are with companies that have unions.And I have seen a HUGE amount of jealousy towards those employees and those companies.

Also I realize there has been just a little delay on this reply lol

I have seen it happen a lazy worker will keep his or her job because the union will fight for them every step of the way.

Lazy workers werent protected on the railroad by the union from the rest of the gang of men.Lazy workers were dealt with on the spot.
Some got their wish and went off on short term disability.

That's right Boco just deal with em on the spot and beat the crap out of them and send them off on disability lmao ! That is the way to do it ! What a hoot !

Interesting .......



Sarcasm ?




Maybe I'm in the twilight zone

Your not forced to join the Union. If you dont want to work there dont apply! Go down the street and complain about doing the same job for less.

In a trade union if you aren't worth a darn you have a tendency to not work. So protected. Um no

Speaking of coonman220, anybody heard from him...? I haven't seen him posting anything for a while. Its was sort of funny earlier, ""coonman is skinning through a pile of coon"), but I wonder if he's got sick. I hope he's just putting up $5 coon...

Exactly dustytinner ! Very well said !

Union people should be happy your guy won the election. Course he will try to take your guns away.

This has nothing to do with who you voted for.

I found my current job through a temp agency.
They matched my qualifications and work history with a company that was looking for what I have to offer.
I am now making very close to what I was making after 30 years with my old company with less responsibility and more potential for advancement.
I can't knock them.

That's sad,sometimes my job wasn't FUN either.Life just aint fair !!

Define "fun" .
Knowing that I have accomplished something makes me feel good.
I could never do an office job.
I like to be able to point at something and say "I did that " or "I made that " , then I can go home from work and feel like I didn't waste my time.

Um YES.
I witnessed this slug protection an a member of IBEW/CWA working for AT&T. It disgusted me so much I got out after 7 years.
I still received same pay and benefits cept they could issue us mandatory overtime whereas they couldn’t do that to union members. But since that only happened the last quarter of the year it was fine since we all wanted xtra money for Christmas.
And since they no longer deducted my dues, got a lil raise.
Out of 700 folks at the plant 95% were union.
2 yrs later Clinton signed NAFTA and our jobs went to Mexico and Spain and Honduras and they shuttered the plant.

I think you can find that in all work places where slugs are protected whether you think it's the union and I think it's their buddy. In construction they get washed out quick. So how is it alright that you receive the same pay and benefits that the union employee pays for? Any different than a slug?
