[QUOTE="menotyou, post: 1021378, member: 24535"] My therapist is a perfect example. She thinks UPS is a horrible employer, and she doesn't think I should go back there. When they talk on Fox(it's on one of the tv's there) about 'union jobs' and how outrageously we are paid and our outlandish benefits, she jumped right on the bandwagon. One day she was going on and on. I try not to get into the 'politics' of it with her, but it got to a point one day where I blew a gasket. I kindly explained she [I]made a choice[/I] to a take a job that was non-union and that she[I] made a choice[/I] to take a job the required her to pay $600 a month for benefits. I [I]made a choice[/I] to take a job that didn't. I told her UPS was hiring and she was free to apply. She replied that she couldn't possibly do the same job that I do. It was too physical and to hard. I said exactly. I earn my wage and I earn my benefits. She realized what I was talking about, and changed her tune after that. But, I was sad that I had to explain it to her. Another one. I had a realtor make a comment about 'union jobs'. We get paid to much. "Who deserves $30 an hour plus benefits?" I asked her if she was jealous. She said yes. I just shook my head and walked away. At least, she was honest. When she called for a follow up, I explained that I needed to find a union realtor. She didn't see the humor in my comment. :surprised: [/QUOTE]
