Dwight,
>>>> And I bet you weren't in a weather-protected factory, and I bet you weren't making $69K plus $21K in bennies. and no I will never put myself back into the conditions that I have worked in...unionized or not... Me neither, at least not if I can help it. and believe me unionized workers make a heck of lot more money than MANY MANY MANY blue collared people out there <<<<<
I was away all day yesterday so am not sure what this topic is about, but I also have strong comments about unions expecially one - the longshoremen.
Senior clerks make 100,000+, and this is someone who only takes down container numbers. Crane operators 100,000+, a much more demanding job but does not deserve that much money.
And then we had the infamous GAI (GUARRANTEED ANNUAL INCOME). Every container which lands at the PORT OF NEW YORK is charges $500 per container for GAI, only, and that is over and above the costs for handling the container.
Also the longshoreman's union was like a license to steal and be lazy, although things have improved somewhat over the year.
