I started about 4 months before they forced a strike. I was young and dumb, looking back I never made the money back that I lost during the strike and the company went under, and I was with out a job. So were a lot of other people that could not afford to loose there jobs. I keep in touch with a couple of them over a beer to two. A number of them lost there houses, cars, had to pull there kids out of college because they couldn't afford to pay there kids way anymore. Luckily I was able to find another job in the same field a month or so later in another union shop. I had no plans to stay long enough to be forced into the union, I just needed a job. The crap I heard from the "workers" there made me sick. Shit like: "It all pays the same, If I work harder we won't get any over time. Fuck the owners, they have the money." Union workers suck. My life long friend, just left his union in heavy construction. The money the union was being paid for his work made him sick. He has started his own company and is booked for the next few months making 4 times the money he was making in the union.
My school district is planning on striking before the new school year. If they do it will cost me about 650 a week for daycare for my kids, and I am sure a tax increase to pay for there raise. Just who is going to pay for that? Thats right my clients. My prices will have to go up so that I can afford to allow my kids teachers to force the school to pay them $40 more a week. PLEASE tell me how that is fair!! Just who do they think they are to fuck me like this. Where is my ability to strike against the teachers striking? What recorse do I have against this. NONE! FUCK unions, Fuck union workers. If you don't like the job or feel you are underpaid, Go find another fucking job!!!! Start your own company, have a kid and go on well-fair. Just don't make me pay for it!!! Wait the last one I will have to pay for, so scratch that one. |
