More power to you if thats what you are into or if thats what you need to be protected at your job but I have nothing but bad things to say about the ones in my area. I sell a lot of things to the Casino's in Atlantic City and the guys at the loading dock are all Teamsters. LAZY! So fucking lazy and it baffels me. If I worked at a loading dock I would not make my day by long as hell by waaaalking slowwwww, checking in the deliveriessss at the pace of a turtleeeeee. They are just so fucking lazy. it really drivs me nuts when I go there everyday.
I think the reasons why unions started back in the day was for good reason. It was to keep people from being taken advantage of at the work place but now it seems like they just take advantage of it.
Anyone else experience this?

    Living in the city of unions, it's hard to keep my point of view without getting ready to fight, but I can't stand them. I used to work for my buddy's granite business doing various things and we got a contract to supply the new Symphony House on Broad Street with all the granite in the residences. When we got there we had to wait for one union to take the granite off the truck and up the elevator. Another to install the granite, and another to do adjustments. Fucking ridiculous. Unions run Philly, and is part of the reason why the system here, along with the politicians, are so corrupt.

    was in a union then i was promoted so I guess I switched sides.But to your point I was training this new guy in our freezer , for the time he was on probation(90 days) til he joined the union(at 60 days) he was a good worker , then goot the union card and mistakenly thought it would protect him. Turned into a backtalking , slow working little jerk.
    From what I can see the union at my work is primarily for the health benifits and twice yearly raises.They will stick up for the member but it's a pretty broad contract.Still at will employment.

    Oh the union is UFCW. not that that matters

    You shouldn't really complain working a few months out of the year pushing a peanut cart around for $250,000...sounds pretty fucking sweet to me ;)..

    Edit: And of course finding time out of the busy schedule to post about gypsies and such ;)..

    You work year around a dick? lol..:)..and I'm confused, I guess you meant that now you work year-round but then in your next sentence it appears you work 70 hours per week for 8 months out of the year?? That's not year-round..and actually that's just about the breakdown for me as a teacher..lol...so maybe it's not exactly what you thought ;)..
