The UAW was the union for social services and they were always pimping for the democrats.

The public interest is never represented at the negotiating table when public employee unions are involved.Mind your own businesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275026895680246324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-44744786055313720142022-10-25T11:07:57.778-04:002022-10-25T11:07:57.778-04:00The other perspective to view this information is ...The other perspective to view this information is to challenge the idea the the Public Sector is always wiser and kinder and more altruistic and just BETTER than the Private Sector.<br /><br />If the Public Sector is so darned kind, then why do Public Sector employees feel a need to be Unionized at a rate that is seven times higher than the Private Sector.<br /><br />Seen through that lens, it must be incredibly AWFUL to have Public Sector bosses trying to control your life.<br /><br />Point.

That said, the spectacle I have is friends in the education industry where they cannot remove an underperforming or lazy teacher because they are "union". <br /><br />That statistic of who the unions is fascinating.

But . I must admit that I prefer the non-union way of doing business . I can pay my hardest working guy more than the guy that is always talking . Ditto for the guy that never turns down a request to work on a weekend or stay over . At the union job I had to contact 64 guys to ask if they wanted to work over for an emergency job before I got to my youngest gung ho guy Craig who never once turned the offer down . It is no wonder union membership is waning . Just like the gubermint they regulate you to the point of absurdity . I still love the union way though I mourn the commie influence . Yes ! Commies got in . robehr orinskynoreply@blogger.com
