Re: Is It Really That Bad? In my experience in the Carpenters union, I was paid to do a job. the contractor paid my union wages and benefits. If I didn't do the job in the time the foreman figured it should be done I would get a pink slip on Friday with a "we don't need you anymore" end of discussion. I happened to be very good and worked journeyman level jobs as a 2nd year apprentice with a Journeyman to mentor me. By my third year I had a first year apprentice as my helper and we teamed up and made LOTS of money for the Contractor who didn't have to pay journeyman wages. Back then one would take pride in their work. Sadly there is little or no union carpentry being done in my area and the housing shows it! Wood butchering is what its called and I'm sure the same thing goes for Union telecom employees, There those who have pride and are really good and there are lazy shiftless bums who rely on unions to protect their sorry ass from being fired for incompetent work. There are also great non-union telecom workers. Being union is no guarantee of pride and responsibility for ones work work nor is it a indicator of quality. The bigger issue is the idea that life owes you a living and you should have everything you want and not have to work for it and two, the companies have no respect for those they employ and they are treated as throw away commodities! |
