Its good if the work force is good, from my expeirance.
If the work force is bad, then it can put a bad taste in ya mouth.
Not to mention you doing Heck of a job and being past up on promotions due to seniority #-o Nothen worse than working next to a joker thats half your out put, but he moves on. Unions are Black and white issues, they are not gray. So whats said is said and done is done
Most all believe that a union is in due to unfair polocies from an employer, well one employer I know was a window fabricator and a trucking union was trying to get in? Just so happens I know a few on this local union board and it was more of a loss of dues that they needed to get back by getting into another market.
Only thing is ya never know untill ya work it. as for pensions and such thats what they are known for, so history speeks itself here.
I have a dad(pops is forced retired from an accident that Union did not stand by, so he had to sue both parties and won) and uncles in a trucker union, a brother in a painting union and another Uncle in weld union.
You'll have die hard fans of them and some who will never work for a union again :|
Same ol' story is GRASS ANI'T ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Union is politics and its a very dangerous subject on non related boards
Jim will or should lock this down by the 2cnd page :wink:
