UNION?

[It will be fine]

A lot has changed in 100+ years . Try to keep up son.

Then why do you think the same solutions will work?

Then why do you think the same solutions will work?

Because of results. Union workers consistently make more than their non union counterparts.

There is no point in responding to "it will be fine" he always dances around good answers with more stupid questions.

What about results as in the decline of union membership?

The results of a decline in union membership is the stagnation of wages for the average American, e.g. your Ground wage slaves.

Which came first? Doesn't matter. Unions are dying.

It's time to go Union, start calling and emailing teamsters. Are you tired of the unnecessary B.S. Unobtainable goals, middle management cluelessness. It's time to pay back management for making our jobs harder than it already is. I feel like going Union would be a good way to thank upper management for making our lives miserable.

Im assuming you work there? Im actually a bit shocked there isnt a union there now, why do you think that is?

I was never a fan of unions but at this point someone has to stand up to all the B S

I believe with unions that they will start to gain more memberships. Just like everything in this world, everything's makes a come back... Well except disco thank god.

just this little glitch called the Railway Labor Act. Combine that with a workforce which despite the slow pay progression and all the takeaways, still seems to have far too many (my own personal observation) employees with a "yeah I know it sucks but it could be worse and besides, I hate unions" attitude and there's really nothing shocking about it whatsover.

The problem is that doesn't just happen. At this point it will require a dramatic shift in the American culture. We live in an every man for himself country. No one is willing to sacrifice their own prosperity for the good of the collective. So we all just do what we can to get by and ignore the bigger picture.

You seem to paint all of America with a very broad brush.

It's a very accurate brush.

 

[STFXG]

It's a very accurate brush.

I'm not sure it will was around when the super secret Union meetings were taking place all over the country.

 

[MAKAVELI]

It's a very accurate brush.

That's a huge discredit to the millions of union workers across the country. The fact is there would be no middle class without unions and that's a very big factor as to the decline of the middle class today.

Isn't that Communism??

 

[It will be fine]

No. Communism is extreme socialism with the state owning all property and industry. I was speaking more to our collective selfishness as a barrier to a healthy labor movement. Collectively the middle class would be better off with strong labor. Individually people are less willing to pay dues let alone risk their own job and well being to organize anti-union companies.

Individually speaking your are a collective dumba$$. No kidding, the middle class would be better off working under a union?? You mean to tell me people are scared to lose their jobs by trying to vote in a union?? Oh man what a revalation. The adults are trying to have a discussion here. Plz go.

There are also a lot of older couriers who are close to retirement and just want to keep the status quo. Not all but certainly a lot.

So the "adults" lob personal insults and contribute nothing to the discussion. Got it, thanks.
There's a difference between working under a union and the existence of strong labor. Try to pay attention.
