Teamsters Be Gettin Feisty

Just like taxes, I believe the cost will just get passed on.

 

Unions are slowly going away. Good riddance.

 

You're lucky just to HAVE a job!

 

That is just not true. With all the organizing with employees from Amazon, Starbucks and others, it's actually growing. Support for labor unions is at a 57 year high. Overall 65% of the American people support unions. GenZ is at 77%. It's going to keep rising.

 

I say fire every single one. Shut up get to work or get the hell out. I despise a man that complains. Don’t like the job, there’s the door. Purely pathetic, people that call themselves men. Don’t make ‘em like they used too. A man shouldn’t need a company to hold their hand and take care of them. Weak, weak. There is a sickening lack of testosterone in our country.

 

I pity a man that needs another to stand up for himself. No wonder, woman are turning lesbian. No real men left. Don’t like it, talk to the boss. Agree new terms or pound sand. I totally believe what you said. Gen z/ millennials a bunch of pansies without grit.

 

Most of the growth in union membership is with government employee unions, and that is only because the bureaucracy keeps expanding. Starbucks, Amazon, and others will most likely close the facilities that vote to unionize. Things do get a bit tricky with that though. The Labor Department gets to define what a "bargaining unit" is for a given company and there is no statutory standard. So the Biden Labor Department could simply define the whole of Amazon to be a single bargaining unit, or they could define bargaining units to be each individual distribution center. Doing one could risk losing the vote to unionize while doing the other could risk having each DC that unionizes get shut down. And this is all before the courts get involved.

 

Speaking of a lack of testosterone...

 

Just wow. That's the attitude companies and corporations have been spewing for decades.
Now we are in a time where Americans (especially young) can barely afford housing. In some places they have to roommates just to get by. At the same time, corporate America continues to post record profits. Those profits were made off the backs of those workers who can't afford housing.
Underlying issue: during the last administration the DOL was stripped of a couple of regulations, and a lot of regulatory power. With only a couple of bats left in their bag the DOL decided to swing them mightily. I read the DOL hearing findings every week. When it gets that far companies can't win. Ask Starbucks how many anti union motions they have won since 2021. I can tell you, it's ZERO. Young workers now are starting to turn to unions to have any kind of voice.

But you just want everybody to be sheep. Do as they say or hit the door. Let the corporate philosophy of #### the worker profit ahead full, reign supreme.
