question on unions

[The Tradition]

No they aren’t they can leave the union and go non-union they have that right also..

The dude quoted in the story has worked for his hotel for 20 years. No one else is going to hire him because he's too old.

As I said earlier, this is a very difficult process with a short window of opportunity that the Union can close by settling on a contract early.

Clearly your understanding of age discrimination is on par with your understanding of how unions work.

Except he's been a bellhop for 20 years. He's a W/C case waiting to happen. No one is going to hire him away.

I’m a former member of the IBEW, so I fully support private unions. I think where most the disdain for unions comes from is the public sector. As I’ve mentioned before, in my personal experience, govt employees for the most part are fvcking garbage. There is no incentive to excel at their jobs and they are protected by a union that cares for nothing but to preserve its existence.

So teachers, police firemen and ambulance drivers are all a piece of sh1t. They have no incentive to succeed. Got it. Remember that when you need help. do you send your kids to public school what kind of teachers would they have at minimum wage.

they are great people who do good work but like FDR I do not believe public workers should be unionised
