 | live better, work union I can honestly say about 15% of the guys I work with I wouldn't hire. Not that they're not for the most part good guys, I just don't think their workmanship and knowledge/enthusiasm for the craft is what it could be.
In my shop of about 100 techs, I'm firmly in the middle as far as seniority. I have guys w/ over 25 years above me, and guys w/ as little as 3 years below me.
Of that 15 percent (15 techs for the math challenged) they are split evenly as far as seniority.
So all things created equal... cut the schlep with 3 years, or the schlep with 25? After 4 years, we all make the top wage. May as well keep the guy with the years. He'll retire in the next few years anyways.
Point is, it all balances out. And for all you that think the "lazy" guys can just float under the RADAR, you really are clueless.
If the company wants you out, trust me, they'll run you out. And union stewards and business reps know who the turds are and want them out just as much as management.
Ok, now go back to your union bashing. Wal-Mart is calling |
