Union thugs are more like vulture socialists.

It's time to outlaw unions completely. In fact that time came decades ago. Given the choice I would always hire a non-union company to do the job. Pure scum.

Heh, I can tell which one of you is worth more simply based on the grammar. Congrats on being self employed; I'm hoping to go that route one day, too.

So I gess you want to pay a doctor what you think he's worth after he does open heart surgery on you it's all about law's you can't build a house with a nonlicensed electrician or plumer. There union so try telling the people the truth you just want cheap worker's

[warrenwallace2]

Like I sead unions are here to make sure that the worker get's paid for there work and not get worked like a slave are you going to pay retirement. Or 401k in a union we get our salary and retirement but when you work non union you might get payed 10 to 15$ an hour but union you get right now 31$ an hour that is what a worker that has went to school and knows his work is right is worth but you put it off that that's not true you just want to get rich off cheap labor. So tell people the truth

Why MUST a company be union? The workers didnt ask for it, and as far as I can tell the owner has to be treating his people right or else they would leave the job. The union coming in and slandering this company for NOT being a union shop is despicable.

[Schutzenegl1]

If they tried to pay $2.00/hr they couldnt find anyone to work at that rate union or not. they need labor, and yes they will likely hire the cheapest labor they can find that is adequate to do the job they need done, to do otherwise is bad for the company... but I digress.

[Schutzenegl1]

Seriously? You can't figure that out for yourself? If you are a worker and you dont like the job you are free to leave... there is a marketplace, and each of us competes in it. IN the end I decided to become self-employed because it was the only way to be paid what I am worth... but if you just want to thug your way through doing as little as possible you have that right as well.
