damn right how the hell do you think i feel when they are harrsssing/threatening my family:angryfire::angryfire::angryfire:
petros seems to think my family should not do their jobs becuase a union is on strike...
You know how many friend i had at atlas copco that got laid off because of the strike. One of them has 3 kids and a house, he has had no work since last year and lives at his parents now with his family. Local 6500 doesnt care about people like them
Now if a union came up with a petition for me to sing to give to the government, I'd read that petition, consider it, and if it's fair I'd sing it, no problem.
But if that same union decides to declare war on the community, how am I supposed to believe that it's really looking out for the best interests of the community? Actions speak louder than words. As you said about your friend, and yourself. If you supported the strike, would they compensate you?It seems the union wants the community to support it, but it won't support the community. A little one-way, no?
Again, I'm all for improved legislation to promote more justice in the workplace. You won't hear any objection form me there. But from what you're describing, that union is out for its own interests only, essentially making it just as capitalist as management, ironically enough.
