    Some do not understand the benefits and pay advantages of working in a union shop. Also most of the shops are selective and in times like this very hard to get into,

    I've worked on union construction jobs, and from what I've seen, the union simply collects dues and ensures that the otherwise unemployable remain employed. It also seems that unions value seniority above knowledge, skill, ability and work ethic. Both are negatives in my book.

    Schneider Transport.
    Look for a squared "s" on the side of the truck.
    I'll see one every once in a while when I'm running up 41 or 43 in Wisconsin.
     
    The Admiral Thanks this.
