Well here I go. I have worked since I was old enough to push a broom at a construction site. I have been in several unions. I don't believe they (unions) are helping the WORKING man anymore. I believe the working man wants a job wants to work and wants a fair wage. I was in management for over 30 years (after being in the unions) neither side is better than the other Greed drives most. The unions protect the ones that should have there a__ kicked to get them started. and thats wrong but because they pay dues they get a check and the others do the work. As far a wages go its a dog chasing its tail Rasie the price of goods, then you get a raise to buy the goods. You get a raise then the company raises the price to pay you more wage. I can't see how the pres. or anyone else is going to level any thing that greed drives. When you have people in power that put them selves above (way above) the people they serve thats wrong.. When I owned my bus. I worked right along side my crew most of the time harder than them, plus I had to go out and get the jobs. Dealing with anyone when it comes to them spending THERE money you got to do it right or there won't be a next job. Bet your all tired of reading this... I am. Have a good day guys I'm heading back to my shop.
