Let me get this straight, if I've never been part of a union and worked for a private entity, and have a million $$ at 54 years of age, I'm a dummy. The union isn't what made you successful, monetarily. It's called work ethic. Y'all would have done fine without the union, but it's always nice when some union boss tells you the Union made you what you are.

No, but making 20 bucks more an hour than non union sure helps.

Making a good income, budgeting, living below my means and being able to invest at a fair to good rate.
Property values going up also help out. Net worth is figured including all your assets including land. Consider I'm not selling the land I don't include it. If I were I would be there now.

It's easy to become a millionaire just few are willing to do what it takes. No union is required at all but the job I have sure does make it easier.

That would require providing a value to a company based on one's own merits


Easier to join a group that uses extortion to over inflate the value of the group as a whole.

So collecting on a big insurance claim has nothing to do with it? I'm raising the BS flag

I have a job that also has a Union and you can join or not join. I think the Union does good for the employees and management actually encourages you to join. Money is decent. Benefits are decent. Days off are decent. 26 years in October and it’s provided for a family and then some. I had jobs before this one and to be honest, I’m glad I did. I see new hires come and go that have NO clue what they’re wasting. With that said, I don’t think we’d have what we have without a Union. Corporations are out for one thing and it’s not their employees.

So what big insurance claim do I have coming or did I get I would love to know. You wouldn't be the first to think I got money when my son was killed. Fun facts, guy didn't have enough insurance and even with my under insurance coverage if not for the hospitals settling I was going to have to go bankrupt. But they all agreed to take the same % of the pot and settled so u was saved from bankruptcy.

I understand you can't get there yourself so it's not possible for anyone else to get where you wish you could be in life so it had to be given to them.

Just so you don't think it's family money, I was raised by a single mom in government subsidies housing until I was 10.

Basically sorry you won't ever get there it's sad because everyone and anyone can.

I know quite a few, kin to several. Both private and public sector.

The common denominator, none are brainwashed that there's only one path to wealth.

Matter of fact dad is retired comfortably with two different failed businesses to his credit. Just kept plugging away and salting it back.

Working on mine at the moment.

And how many of those companies are pro 2-A ?

They're all to busy drinking the woke and DEI Kool-aid to care about your wants and wishes. Or hear rational thinking.

Why do so many union carpenters work non-union side jobs on the weekend?

Not that I have been able to find union or non. Otherwise I wouldn't be working 127 miles from home.


Oh, I thought was by choice. Sorta like working all the hours you say you work.

Join a union support organized crime, gun control, anti trapping, anti hunting, anti bill of rights. That is fact. P.S. I was a teamster for 3 years. Teamsters have bankrupted dozens of trucking companies.

I like that Union members never shop for a deal or use a coupon always paying top dollar for even lessor quality goods.

I’m forced to be in a union. In NY we have what are called “closed shops.” Basically forces the Union labor. Since the Democrats launder money through the unions, they make sure the only labor occurring pays dues. They ban right to work laws. Technically you can start a battle and fight to only pay local dues and not international dues, but the laws make it so difficult to accomplish that it’s really not worth the battle. The Supreme Court ruled those laws are illegal in the public sector, but has yet to do so in the private sector. I make good money, have good benefits. But Im forced to pay $1200 a year in dues and it all goes to supporting Democratic policies. Frustrating.

Maybe Trump and other "Republicans" will stop sucking up to the unions now.

It was insulting to the party (which has lost its way and is now a big government, welfare, fiscally irresponsible, socially wacko, populist joke) to have their corrupt bosses at the Republican Convention.
