Yep. Here's me. One of them slacker postal workers, who now at age 52 has a
blown disk and nothing but bull**** from management about it. Still trying
to pull my weight without ****ing it up any more than it is. Without my
union, I would have been out the door ages ago. Not because I don't work,
but because I don't cower. Intimidation and coercion are the main management
tools.That's what they do with the temporary help. They can push them around
through fear because they don't have any representation. When they break,
they're out the door. Think they'd treat regulars any different if they
could?

Yeah...unions aren't perfect, but when you work in a culture of white collar
assholes who never put in an honest day's work in their lives and only care
about how much you can put out until they break you, they're lifesavers. It
would be nice to live in a fantasy world where hard work and all that other
crap got you what you were worth, but that's just not the world we live in.
The ass-kissers get all the good stuff while the rest do the work.

Greedy, egomaniacal white collar assholes are the ones who have done the
most damage to productivity. How many times do you figure you can kick a dog
before he turns around and bites you.

Asswipe.

Unions especially the Teamsters don't care about their members. The
mobbed
up leaders are only interested in recruiting more members so they can take
a
cut of every dollar earned by the "1.4 million hardworking men and women
in
the United States and Canada".



They have done this in the past through extortion, intimidation and
violence. In today’s world, the controlling Neanderthals are trying to
soften this image but the reasons remain the same.



My hourly value should be judged by my actions, not by some pre-determined
negotiated rate. Every worker should be judged by there talent,
integrity,
dedication, and leadership ability. Workers who excel are penalized by
being paid the same as slackers. Eventually the slackers overwhelm the
workforce.



Look at the US post office, millions of letter carriers doing just enough
to
get by, counting the days, weeks and years till retirement. I know this
first hand with 3 brothers and two childhood friends in the post office.
I
can ask any one of them and they can tell me how long before they are
eligible for retirement and at what level pay they plan to leave (in 4
years
I can retire at 60% pay 7 for full pay).



Unions have destroyed the productivity of the USA. There presence does
nothing but undermine society.
