USW. They backed Biden. The majority of our local votes Republican. Why? Defense contractor. Dem gets in we usually get screwed. Sure they pour funds to Dems, but our votes still count. The benefits of collective bargaining out way the small portion of dues they send libs.
Took on another job bid, getting older. Waste Processor. Driving a forklift flipping dumpsters. 27.32/hr. And I signed up for Christmas shutdown. Sat time/half, Sun double time, Mon-Thurs triple. Some local non union companies close in pay, better vacation, sometimes better insurance. But ill take the pension and pay. Sell out, cash whore....whatever you wanna call me is cool with me. I pay my bills, no one else.

Iaff here, fireman. Large east coast fire department. Could have cared less about the "union" when I get hired at 21 years old, I just wanted to be a big city fireman. They don't align with my personal political views but do keep us from getting steamed rolled from the city council when it comes to cutting funding and jobs. thank you for helping destroy middle class non union workers. Free healthcare and full pension for life at the expense of lower class Americans. congrats!!!! I would hazard a guess that in the US of A those "lower class Americans" are free to associate with each other for financial benefit and organize a union in their workplaces? Of course, that assumes they are employed or at a minimum willing to be employed.

The function of a union is to represent its members in the workplace. They have no business meddling in immigration issues or politics beyond that mandate; representing their members at the bargaining table when needed. The members are the union. Awww that is precious..... were you born yesterday? Were you? It seems so. Not to mention being ignorant of why unions were formed in the first place, it appears that you were born yesterday. Plus incapable of grasping what I said. I didn't say that there aren't corrupt unions, or that reform is not needed, just that unions have their place, and their place at the negotiating table representing their members is what they should stick to. I get it..... you preffer a Marxist collective to negotiate on your behalf , rather than standing on your own two feet...... a hint for you, they are representing the sloth next to you also.... At least you can advance on tenure rather than merit.... congrats Marxism is your excuse. I'm talking about free market capitalism, free enterprise, the right to presentation, negotiating a better deal. Workers as well as business. That's all.
