I bust my ass. Well, my back anyway. Literally. I've had many jobs and lost
many jobs. Not due to my "work ethic" but to my insistence that I, and
coworkers, be treated with dignity and respect. I am not in the military any
more and I don't expect to be treated like a recruit because some lazy
asswipe is on a power trip. If you think that's unreasonable, then maybe you
need to think long and hard about your work ethic.

All of the things I complained about with my other employers that got me
fired or made me quit, and would have gotten me fired or made me quit this
job were it not for the union, are finally being recognized as legitimate
beefs-not just the whinings of a lazy, worthless, ungrateful leech of an
employee. It has taken 20 years for our union to get through to our
employer, but they can't deny the problems any longer and are finally doing
something, reluctantly, about them.

Think I'm getting any recognition for my efforts? I'm not. Think I care? Not
really-as long as conditions improve.

You know, that's my problem with unions. They keep people employed who
shouldn't be employed. Now, I don't know you, don't know how you work,
but there's something wrong with that mentality. If it takes someone else
to keep you employed, you need to think long and hard about your work
ethic.
