[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 327753, member: 484"] Tie, to elaborate a bit. The union is helpless and worthless without members. Period. A fact that they forget many times as they are running around the country telling everyone they are for the common man, but yet they are the very essence of self preservation. Now, I pay (paid) union dues for 33 years. And the teamsters gradually negotiated a wage for what I do that increased over that time. Now, what are they out doing. Trying to get the min wage increased for everybody? Why would they fight and spend my dues money to presure the gooberment to raise min wage? Will the guy at McD's or long johns jump and join the union? What pay back is there for that type of expediture on the part of the union for non union employees? Percentage wise, they are trying to get non union wages increased more than the people that pay their wages! What the heck are they thinking? Anyway, working for myself now, I find that a lot of my preconceived ideas of the real world have been somewhat wrong. As a union employee you have a very one sided view of what you do and what you are worth. Wanna real wake up call? Get fired from UPS and find out what actual skills you have and what people are willing to pay for those skills. Wanting to work hard is not enough in many cases. My problem is being able to price jobs fairly to where I can make a living, but more importantly to provide a good wage and insurance for my workers and their families. It is a real juggling act for someone that had a regular paycheck each week for 33 years and didnt have to wonder if there was one again next week. BUt I digress from ethics in management, which I find has always existed, you just have to look hard sometimes. d [/QUOTE]
