    What's good is they are actually paying you like everyone should be paid which is all time working not just mikes driven or some bs detention time. I'll tell you this you will love tankers after you get the hang of it.

    Cali, there is a reason its being knocked. There is no yeah, yeah, yeah. The unions sold out, and now the brothers and sisters are paying the price.

    How did the unions sell out? It's math... one employee is supporting 5 retirees... Declining union membership is the problem

    the could start buy doubling the dues per month and raising the actual fee to get into the union but yea 1 Union member supporting 5 retirees that's a problem. It's not set in stone yet just yet......

    And its declining because of the unions staunch defense of the Dem. party.
    They aren't fighting for the membership anymore, that's how they sold out. They should be encouraging the members to work for the continued success of the company they represent. The better the company does the better the worker does. The better the employees do the more they want to succeed, the better the economy does.
    Its the very basis of the Reaganomics plan of a rising tide lifts all boats.
     
    chalupa Thanks this.

    You have a point. He made it easier for people to step out on their own. And make a living wage on their own terms.
