Our first clue was asking him if he would be watching the State of the Union.  He stated he wasn't because he couldn't stand to look at the man.  The long of the short was his man Gore had the election stolen from him.  He was asking about a gun and when I questioned him about being a gun carrying liberal; his response was that the democrats had came to his door asking for his guns.  He didn't know that Klinton had been impeached; He thinks when it comes out that Bush made millions on Enron his party will be vindicated.  The Republicans have plunged the economy into a near depression, and welfare is a good program.  BTW he is a union electrician and his wife works at a college.

I think as long as you are a socialist it does not matter what your mental state is when getting into a union.

I have read a lot things on this board.

I have learned recipes for Cordon blu.

I have learned to appreciate fine, and not so fine, art.

I have learned how to disassemble and re-assemble and AR-15, and practically any other firearm known to man here at this site.

I have even learned rudimentary Latin.

But the best advice I have ever heard just came from hielo.

Feel sorry for him, do not shun him.  If he is an example of the Unionists that I have met he has adopted this belief as his defacto religion and believes whatever the local pres tells him as surely as Our friend Garandman believes in his version of the bible.  He does not associate liberal causes with anti gun causes, just was not mentioned by the high priest of the union boss.  He truly believes what he said not because he looked up from his beer to pay attention to the news but because he was told to by the high priest of Unionism.  The union is mother, the union is father, do as the union commands and ye shall come to no harm.  

Think I'm joking, I lived in heavy union country for 3 years and this is an accurate reflection.

Chill out.

We all like you.  We just don't like the unions taking your hard earned union dues and giving it to the liberals.  The unions were the 2nd largest contributor to Gore's campain.  We also don't like union members who are not as smart as you.  Ones that support the union liberal views over their own conservative values.

We are glad to have you on our side.  When the liberals who are funded by union dues come to take our guns away we know you will stand with us.  Heck, with the values you have you might even sue the union leadership to prevent them from giving your hard earned money to our enemies.

Boomer:

Perhaps it is different where you are from.  I however base my beliefs not on stereotype but on widespread observation.  I have watched many good people make decisions that cost them their homes, savings, families, and ultimately their lives based on the say so of the union boss.  I am totally anti union and make no appologies to anyone for it.  If I thought that unions truly acted in the best interests of the members I would probably not feel so strongly.

In one ten month strike I watched people lose it all including three suicides in our city.  What was the outcome of the strike, Union settled for the same offer that the company had put forward on the first day of negotiation. The purpose of the ten month standoff, to better position the international to deal with LTV steel.  The end result.  Both companies have now closed their doors, and all of the good little unionists are out of work and running out of unemployment.

Yeah, I'm sure your sampling is just huge. And gee whiz, why don't we pick out a few worst case scenarios to hold up as typical occurances? You probably don't like it when the media finds some nutball, psycho, or pot bellied redneck to depict as the typical gun owner yet you can turn around use similar tactics against union members.

Strikes have done me and my family far more good than harm.

Maybe you're just one of those types who would rather cut and run when the going gets rough instead of standing up for yourself and fighting for what you have and what you believe in.

Bullshit.

Or do mean that you don't believe in 40 hour work weeks, livable wages, overtime pay, health care benefits, paid vacation, some semblence of job security, safe work environments, employer accountability, etc?

If so, then [i][b]I[/b][/i] believe that you will find yourself in a very small, lonely group. Yes indeed.

By the way, are you a member of the NRA? If so, why? I thought you didn't "embrace" the idea of speaking collectively.....

Not much difference it is?  I work at Hanford with many union members.  I see these guys at the gun shows and they have Bush stickers on their pickups.  It is hard to get into a discussion with them because we all are in agreement.

HOWEVER, when I bring up the union support issues of liberal causes it gets mighty quite.  I guess the good news is that we really have their support on the things that matter.

I never had to rely on anyone to hold my job for me. Never been fired in my life. Never asked someone to get my job back. Never filed a complaint. Never counted on someone else to get my raise for me. Never filed for unemployment. Never been on welfare. Never turned down a job because I made more on the last one I had. Never went to a steward for anything. Never needed a steward for that matter. Is that guy working? Is he contributing to the bottom line? Never needed a herd to keep me safe. Never gave a dime to a liberal cause, pre-tax or otherwise. Dues are for gun clubs. Unions are the apex of the peter principle, sheeple style.

Ditto what Elliot said-

and to answer MAC-DADDY about my situation, I'm a Digital Imaging tech for a photography studio-and we have no union. You see, I have these things called "marketable skills" that I use to keep my job(and my pay rate high, for a college kid). So does everyone else who works here-sorry to hear about your situation, though.

Those who can...do!

Those who can't...join a Union!

Now, now - not all us union folks are backwards Liberals...

Teamsters #665 - come from a mainly USW family.  All of us are Libertarian in bent, mostly firearms owners (my mother likes swords and bows) and NONE of us are afraid to defend ourselves - because we know we're the only ones who are really ready to do it...

Causes I advocate -
Radical restructuring of welfare - change from a lifetime programme to a crutch, include trade school and make it a timed programme (eligible two years out of five, perhaps.)
 Abolition of the Federal Income Tax, replace with a National Retail Sales Tax (perhaps 5-7%.)  Concomitant restructuring of the Federal Goverment to accomodate the reduced Federal intake.
 Unlimited concealed carry per Vermont, extended under "Privileges and Immunities" clause in the COnstitution.
 Ban of NFA34, 89 Ban, and the assorted later Crime Bills.
 Introduction of a comprehensive holistic health plan to help reduce or eliminate the dependence upon the pharmaceutical industry - at ALL ages.
 Elimination or full privatisation of Social Security.
 Elimination of the widespread use of the SSAN as an identifier.  Tie in with above, run SS Programme as originally concieved (programme was to run for five years.)
 I have some others, but I need to flesh them all out...

Hey MAC,

I make "high five" figures a year because I am valuable. Not because bubba over there said so. You see, the president of the company values my time, not my steward. The president signs the checks, not the steward. The president is watching the bottom line of the company. The steward is looking at his botom line. In the steward's eyes you fall in somewhere below that, no matter what he/she tells you.

Steelworkers Union member here chiming in...

I guess the beauty of a union is all in the eye of the beholder...

I am now unemployed because our union protected the lazy and the unqualified...

I was laid-off last week, losing my job to another based SOLELY on length of employment...

Didn't matter that I could run circles around this guy...

Meant a few dollars an hour raise for my replacement, and unemployment compensation for me...
What a great service these unions provide...
Now the whole company is going down the tubes, thanks to all the old, lazy, union protected non-productive freeloaders...
They are only there to put thier hours in & collect thier union protected paychecks...

Good for the union, they will have successfully run another company into the ground...

HOORAY FOR THE UNION !!! [rolleyes]
