[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1066718, member: 13921"] I have seen posts on other forums where a guy is looking for a job. Someone suggested the railroad. The guy lived in a city that had a locomotive servicing terminal and they were hiring for the terminal. Fantastic job. Several people said, "I'd never work there, you have to join the union, there is no way I would work in a union shop." What????????? Even after pointing out that in Texas, the poster would not have to join the union, he said, "Yabbut I would never work in a union shop. I cannot stand the attitudes of union workers." I say again, "What??????" Conservative talk radio has convinced the middle class that unions are out to destroy the middle class. Probably one of the conservatives greatest victories. In another conversation, a neighbor was going on and on about how UPS drivers were paid way too much. He said, "I would do that job for 1/2 the wage." I replied, "Spee Dee Delivery is hiring and they pay about half. Have at it." Spee Dee has a turnover rate at right around 50%, so evidently people are not happy doing the work for 1/2 the money. It boggles my mind that people will happily accept doing the same job for significantly less money. [/QUOTE]
