Us foods strike

Takes all kinds to make our world go around and to each his or her own ..my dad was a union steel worker in Minneapolis and was a workaholic , up at 330 am and in bed at 11 like clockwork , laziness was not tolerated in that house .

 

Sometimes you have to think positive about a lousy situation, think of the money you make on ot doing someone else's job AND yours.

 

So if things get drastic somewhere, hypothetically, you couldn't ever support it?

 

I know, always the same type off moron, first they ##### about not wanting to stay over, then they ##### that they didn't make enough...

 

Personally, I have no interest in working at a union company. Thankfully, I don't have to consider that. Our manager is outstanding in his efforts to support his drivers. That being said, I have friends at my former employer who have been pushing to get the teamsters in the door (in some parts of the country, other terminals have had some success with it); if it gets what truly is horrible management to pay attention, I support my friends in their effort. Again, if the union has clean management, and the membership is not of the militant type, I'm okay with it.

 

A non Union person working against a strike isn't a scab, their just a person working. A UNION worker working against a strike is a scab!

I'm former union so I would never work against a strike because in the end the unions help the non union drivers as much as themselves, but you can't hold non union to the same standard, they have no clue how things work. But as another post said, that IS a great way to get shot at depending on where you are!

 

I appreciate your definition of "scab". I always considered it to be any person crossing picket lines during a strike, which is something I'd never do.

What pisses me off is when a union driver calls a non-union driver a scab just for working for a non-union company. I assume most union guys don't think that way, though. At least I hope not.
