You're out of your league once again. This is the NBA, my friend: no bootlickers allowed.Paranoid.
Make a thread re: giving the union teeth and claws and the flunkies come like moths to a flame lmao! "Oh no, not that, you're idiots for even dreaming of such a thing, you don't even know how good you have it! And besides you'll never be able to make the union strong, morons!"Wow! It is fun to be back on BC and read the stupid, ignorant and intelligent responses.

Your attitude is what makes the union weak.Make a thread re: giving the union teeth and claws and the flunkies come like moths to a flame lmao!

Your attitude is what makes the union weak.
It is all based on money and who controls it.
It is a symbiotic relationship between workers and the company.
Mouthing off with the words, "idiots" and "morons" is a self explanatory statement of your mind set.
Unions have a deep purpose that has little to do with the confrontations involved 70yrs ago.
I believe in unionism, not the tough guy attitude.
Ask Hoffa, if you can find the 55 gallon barrel he was crammed into.
And your Point is?
Hoffa was not a 'tough guy', and unlike you, I don't think everyone is faking at being one. Hoffa's error: you don't outsource your strength to the mob.Your attitude is what makes the union weak.

I forgot to add: parasitism is a symbiotic relationship. Look up the biology. Yes us FTers make a decent living. Doesn't change that the company is exploiting us. Doesn't matter that that's just what all companies do. But it does matter that they're making windfalls and have become a Wall Street darling, and hopefully we will show just how much that matters in 2023.It is a symbiotic relationship between workers and the company.
Your attitude is why no one worksYour attitude is what makes the union weak.

If unions have a 'deep purpose that has little to do with the confrontations involved 70yrs ago' then that purpose is simply fading away. Or maybe you haven't noticed that's exactly what's been happening for decades?
'Mouthing off' -- @542thruNthru got you and you know it.
I worked 7 days a week for over 40yrs.Here we go again lol!
While making record profits the company has been trying to squeeze 6 days a week out of many of us year-round, and you're suggesting 'the working conditions exist where [unions are] irrelevant and only suck the company dry.' LMAO!!!!
I think it's time for you to go to China and be a good delivery boy, or hell, a longshoreman -- since you've lamented the port inefficiencies before. I'm eager to hear your report back so you can enlighten us about the 'happy medium of productivity', as well as -- you didn't say -- the 'happy medium of workers' rights'.
Really? Are you that clueless.Your attitude is why no one works
Did you work 7 days or 6 days? Either way, that's awful. My wife's IBEW local does not allow forced OT. Trade work tends to be irregular ... I would not mind at all working 8 or 9 months a year (though not 6 days a week) and laying off the rest.I worked 7 days a week for over 40yrs.
When working under the USW union and the IBEW union, they allowed "forced" overtime.
12hrs a day 6 days a week.
Why did you decline?I was offered a job to train people in China to maintain/run draglines in coal mines.
$20,000.00 a month and all living expenses paid.
I declined the offer.
I'm not sure what you're talking about besides echoing corporate media tropes re: 'laziness'. I don't know anywhere in this country where people enjoy any legal guarantee of being hired to work and earn a livelihood. At most we are granted limited, purely formal 'freedoms' of being considered for hire.All people have the "rights" to work, but they must have the will to work.
One question at a time.Did you work 7 days or 6 days? Either way, that's awful. My wife's IBEW local does not allow forced OT. Trade work tends to be irregular ... I would not mind at all working 8 or 9 months a year (though not 6 days a week) and laying off the rest.
How did you become a moderator here/where were you working that much with UPS?
Why did you decline?

One question at a time.
IBEW allowed forced overtime in the coal mines of East Texas ,per contract.
USW had the same language when I was a structural fitter.
Also, I worked a second job when I was a fitter. Newly married and dead ass broke.
4hrs sleep was a lot for me back then and until the day I retired from UPS.
While working for UPS I had a side business doing custom metal work.
Why did I decline China?
Obviously, you have not read my past posts.
In 1979 I found the land and the lifestyle I wished to live.
Basic hard work, planning, and investing paid off for me being able to retire at 60 totally debt free.
Legal guarantees?
Opp's, if you do not belong to the union, in certain parts of the USA, you can not work for the company.
Other part's of the country your life is in danger for not joining.
I need another beer while you contemplate who really controls your life.
Cheryl asked me to be a moderator about 13yrs ago. Retired from UPS 8yrs ago and never moderated again.
