And HUNDREDS MORE are all UNION companies.
Now.
How many of these do you use every day?
And how many have taken bailouts from the government?

Next time, know what you're talking about before you shoot off your mouth.

You should thank every union member you know every day of your life for the good life that you lead.
You wouldn't have it without them.
Read this, if you dare.

YOU
ARE
A
LIAR.

Do you get paid by the hour or do you get a flat fee for each lie that you spread?

Are you paid by focksnooze or by the Republican National Committee?

Do you get paid overtime for working tonight or are you on the walmart plan?

You have destroyed every bit of your credibility, your integrity, and your honor by your actions here today.

You will never be one of them.
They laugh at you behind your back.

It's a shame that your parents didn't care enough about you to teach you to be an honest person.

Shame on you.

It must be awful to spend your entire life cowering in fear of the whole world.
Your childhood must have been horrible.
You are pitiful.

Thanks, by the way.
I've been meaning to do this.

Answer 2

I work as the security supervisor for an automotive industiral site. I've seen how the Company and Union relationship works. Those that work together often do very well. Right now the UAW President at this location works well with Company Management. There is compromise coming from both direction and each side, for the most part, is satisfied with the outcome of surfacing issues.

However, sites that tend not to do well are Companies like GE and GM who don't like to compromise with the Unions. In response, the Unions don't like to compromise with them. There's a lot of bad blood between the Unions and companies like these. Neither side compromises. The result is jobs get sent overseas so the Company can do things the way they want without Union intervention (not the whole reason, but part).

The Union District boss for this areas is a real pain the rear. But the President here is very easy to work with. He's tried to push the Union President into doing things that aren't necessary to stir up. On several occassion I've reminded the Union Boss that if he doesn't follow access control procedures (signing in and getting an ID Badge) that I don't have to allow him into the facility. He thinks he's above Company Policy. That doesn't jive with me, at all. I don't care who he is. It's people like him that cause division. I'm here to protect the Company and its assets, not the Union. The Union doesn't pay my salary or anyone elses.

Answer 3

First off, back up your ranting about unions being greedy and destroying entire cities. I've been in two unions my entire life, I know how they work, I have negotiated contracts. Your uninformed bias is showing. I guess a $2.00 an hour pay and a 12 hour work day with no benefits would be fine for you and your kids.

Answer 4

Funny how unions were exempt from the "gold" policies taxation. Only the evil rich (over $70,000 a year) that have good health insurance plans will be taxed, the unions get a pass. Welcome to Obama's payback II, The UAW and GM bailouts was payback I.

Answer 5

The unions had their time and place.

Today they are generally self-serving and short sighted. I've talked to people who know GM workers. $90k a year for a guy to check for leaks on a car coming off the line. No accountability for build quality. And it's no wonder GM is in the tank.

FWIW, the banks are not unionized. They did themselves in.

Answer 6

Look at the paper industry in the US... bloated unions all but destroyed it.. and the last mills in the US are on life support..

Answer 7

I don't recall any union control over the banks and investment companies we've been bailing out.

Answer 8

1. Unions don't run companies.
2. Show me proof that *most* unionized companies get bailed out.
3. Remember when we bailed out all those Wall Street investment firms? Are you sure those companies are unionized?

Answer 9

Because unions are extortionist
