[QUOTE="coolslice, post: 4239380, member: 50491"] I love the maturity level of the union thugs here. Save my job? I can do that on my own, LOL! You don't need representation if you're not a garbage driver. First off, I don't go to work to be popular. I could gave a :censored: less if other drivers dislike me, and I could care even less what people on the internet think of me. I have plenty of friends there that hate the do nothing union as much as I do. We hate getting publications tell us who to vote for on the front cover and telling us the list of corrupt teamster brass on the back. We hate union bosses giving themselves raises. We hate that the local president makes way more than we do and doesn't do jack :censored:. We hate hearing about how our local doesn't act on grievences because they don't want to "raise a stink." We hate that our local is more like an episode of Springer than a legitimate business outfit.
