My wife made some serious extra bucks on Scab duty back in 2013. 7X10 for about 6 weeks. Funny thing...with management & engineering in the plant working, they maintained about 70% the normal output, with less rejected work, but they only put in about 40% of the total labor hours per week as normal union crew. I work in a manufacturing facility and have a hard time believing that. Even with a seasoned crew of Amish Mexicans giving it their all, there's no way in hell they would crank out 70% schedule with just 40% of the man hours. What he said. The aluminum manufacturing plant down the road locked the uniom N out many years ago. They were in the pension getting rid of mood. They tried to run the plant with management and non Union workers. Needles to say management grossly underestimated the knowledge of process and Equipement. |

How does it feel to hate free markets?  The carteling of skilled labor is not anti free market. In fact it is very definition of free market economics. The majority is GD's hatred for Unions is borne out of labor's alignment with Democrats who are anti gun and the co-oping of labor by commies and progressives which started in the 1920s. It is a bit disingenuous to argue that Union greed (which certainly exists same as corporate greed) has had an effect on the American economy in the last 30 years. Union membership is like 11% if you take out public sector civil service unions I bet it is less than 5%. The irony to me is a lack of pensions is going to herald in more socialist federal spending programs in the long run. I am in my 30s. I know plenty of people in their 50s and 60s who have little to no savings. They sure as hell are going to vote for whomever promises them money when they have none. Unions serve in as a check. They are not perfect. Nor is corporate America. |

When I worked for a big aerospace company back in the '80's the union voted to strike over some petty difference with the company. It was an open shop and I had chosen not to join the union, I was what they called a "freeloader". I actually worked when I went in, most of them would go out of their way to avoid work and chastise me for making them look bad. When the strike was going on I still went to work but went in an entrance they weren't allowed to picket. Someone on the inside ratted me out and I got a few visits at my home from some union dicks. They weren't pleasant visits either. I did get a new engine for my Jeep out of it after one of them sugared my gas tank. Right after the strike ended I was promoted to a department manager, a non-union job. Karma was my friend, I got promoted, they got convicted on several counts, as it turned out I wasn't the only one they had visited. I've harbored much disdain for unions ever since.

Corporations are people now. The truth isn't black and white. Corporations = Good. Unions = Evil. Unions can be as greedy as corporations and vice versa. Mostly it is just about making money. |

How much is going to the union funds, med, and retirement? What are you fined if you don't show up to strike? Can you transfer to another district if they do strike?

"You guys have been without a contract for 3 weeks..IVE Been without one for FOUR YEARS... I still come to work and do my job, and let the system do its job...YOU are a whiny little bitch who wants to have a tantrum" These guys were lucky, the property owner gave them an area they could set up in, when he could have easily said Screw, GTFO... they had their area, they could wave their signs, and scream "Scab" at the drivers who did go to work..but of course it wasnt enough, some guys tossed Caltrops made from welded nails, and one group waited up the road away from the property and followed a drive and bead the pis out of him.....a bunch of teamsters ended up going to jail and getting fired for their antics just because they couldnt act like adults..

In my experience, unions care far more about expanding their membership (fees) than they do about actually making things better for their workers. They'll negotiate a pay cut in a heartbeat if they think it'll expand their labor pool. |

If unions actually wanted to benefit the needs of both the employees and the company, they would elect an actual employee to represent the other employees and then a member from the board of directors to work with the employee. No dues would be needed, the union would have teeth because of the board member and the employees would have representation from their own guys.

Enjoy picket pay while the Union leaders keep their bloated salaries rolling. Not only that, but I'll bet that occasionally there have even been strikes that were orchestrated between company management and union leaders. Contract time happens to come during a period of slow sales or high field supply for the company, union leaders know there is no leverage. They strike for a couple weeks, it's like a layoff without unemployment for management, and after ending the strike by agreeing to terms far less than desired, union leaders get to tell the membership "Hey, we struck em, we tried, this was all we was gonna get, let's all just be thankful to be back to woik." Win-win for management and union leaders both. |

Unions should be violently broken up whenever they are encountered, their leadership jailed, and their membership dismissed.

I do find it interesting how a log of people will compare anything to "how libs view assault rifles" and think it makes sense. They are exactly nothing alike, stop making disingenuous comparisons. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So far- I hate free market, I voted for Obama (twice), I deserve to be fired, I will probably physically, and possibly, sexually assault someone.

Sorry, could have compared it better. People form opinions based on what people on their team are saying a lot of times. Ive only worked in unions in my local area so I cant say how the rest of the country works. But I have never seen violent protests, or even threats of it. We have no desire to do any of that shit. Our union reps are paid by the company out of this local. We all have the same amount to lose/gain. |

Gotta keep that membership up. |

My union is prohibited from striking
OP, if it happens, hope things get settled quick and the strike pay holds out. |
