Our society would be a much better place to live in if we could just rid ourselves of all Labor Unions! They are so bad for our economy. They are helping the middle class think that they have a chance to thrive in our poor economy and it is sad to mislead them like that.
The Union Employee always wants a contract with silly benefits like vacation and holiday pay, health insurance, a fair days pay, and a pension on top of everything else!!
Because of the greedy unions, the non-union companies must offer a decent rate of pay and some benefits to their workers to keep the threat of a union out of their place of employment. Just in case that is not enough, they will be sure to let the workers know that the union is rotten and if anybody dare mentions one of them, it will cost them their job!!
The Managers and C.E.O.s work very hard and the positions high up in a company involve a lot of stress. The Unions and Middle Class America should not be running their business! The worker is not the one that has to worry about paying for the Summer Mansion in Cape Cod, or the August trip to Paris, or the Ivy League Colleges for the kids!! If they could just bust those darn Unions and then the power would be all theirs. Then we could do away with the unions and the workers would be much easier to deal with as they would not have the security that they have grown so use to. Anybody with many years of service would be offered a nice pay cut or they can sign a release form and go somewhere else! (unless you are planning on going to Harvard, France, or The Cape!)
I am sorry if my sarcasm is beginning to show as I am a third generation Teamster and proud of it! I am proud that each month I pay union dues so that I can take care of my family and live a comfortable life. We do not light cigars with hundred dollar bills. However, because of my union job, my wife can stay at home and be a domestic engineer and install good family values into our children. We have great health insurance to help with any medical expenses that may be on the horizon. After 23 years on the job, I get a good bit of much needed vacation time so that I can enjoy my family and give my body a break from the abuse that it takes from the job. Not a day goes by that I am not grateful to be a union worker! I only wish that I did not have to hear so much trash talk about the Unions. I understand that most times it is coming from somebody that never walked a day in union boots.
