Union leadership gets bought out at the national level (get a grant and become reliant on renewing that grant, and then you sell your soul for that grant funding). The nationals tell the locals what to do and like idjits, the locals do. Tough sh*t on the membership if they can't figure out what is good for them. You tried and deserve credit for it.

Several plants near me are switching to gas. Gas fired plants seem great, except only require 1/3 of the workforce. The union guys are just now "getting it". Too late guys. Here is what I want to know... If the union is all about jobs, why are the not standing behind Trump? |

Good luck to all of you.
The degrowrgers killed hydro in New England years ago. Now they want to run transmission lines thought this area to Carly electricity generated by hydro in Canada. You guess it, they don't want the transmission lines either. I guess our children and grandchildren are not only going to be saddles with a huge national debt, but also the inability to generate electricity at a reasonable cost! |

The union reps will always have jobs. The membership not so much.
Something to consider and remember, while demos can say that they will bring in new jobs, they don't say where those jobs will be. Can't force companies to build plants for alternative energy development next to what used to be a coal mine or steel mill. So that promise is as worthless as the air that was exhaled with it. Meanwhile China will produce and use all the coal it needs to produce their power and cheap steel to ship here. Keep voting democrats It's not all about guns. |

My city is now buying most of its power from windmills in OK because it's cheaper than dealing with the regulations on our last coal plant. |

I have two friends, married to one another, both in their sixties, wife is daughter of some union top somewhere, husband is has been union all his life. Both fish, own guns, hunt, pro life, anti-illegals (husband is hispanic), Christians -- pretty much what you expect your average right winger to be. Hell, they even bookface shit they don't agree with form our government including 0bama. Yet they voted for Wendy Cunt-Face Davis in the Texas gubernatorial election, hate Trump, and solid Hitlary supporters. It's so weird. But I say nothing. They are otherwise good people, and just because I don't agree with their politics and think they are brain damaged doesn't mean I can't be friends with them. |

I work at a small Municipal generating station. 1 medium unit and two small units. Started there as an electrician, got bored with that and went into operations and learned how to generate electricity. 8 years ago I tried to convince them what Obama was about to do to our industry if elected. Made the die hard Union heads mad. 4 years later they did it again and I saw the handwriting on the wall and applied for and got a position in System Control as a NERC RC. It is golden. I can go all over and get work. So yesterday they announced 50 layoffs at generation and are going to close 2 plants. I am working tonight writing procedures to shut them down. They are stunned and confused. Some I feel bad for and some not at all. I told them this was going to happen and got laughed at. Dumb fuckers voted for their own demise. If you can do so without risking your job/employment, please rub their noses in it. |
