I have been in the unions for over ten years now. I have also dabbled in the private sector as well. In the privately owned aspect of construction, they try to work you till you fuckin die. We are talking well over a 60 hour work week. Last summer, I had a total of three days off in the months of june through September. Thats three days total, not individual months. Every fuckin time I had a problem with my bennies or my hours, I got fucked. No delegate to help me out there. With the union, I leave work at 2:30. End of fuckin story. No if ands or buts. Yeah, I know some people think that sucks but I am at work at 6:30 am on most days so don't think it is all great. Granted, with my non union company I did get to fuck off a whole lot. But, be all end all, I rather have the protection of my union then to run around without it.
As for the dolt who said lets show them and not drive on the roads: Ummmmm, ok, sure, whatever you say. That will show them for sure.:bow:
Ummm, if you call standing on a picket line for 6 hours or more and getting a whole twenty bucks to do it getting paid, well, I guess we get paid then.
