Had to join the Union when I first started in my current industry, so it was no big deal to me. I got to work the same 8 hour shift as the laziest man on earth and did 4 time the work for equal pay and the Union protected him. Then being in the Union cost me a job in Miami. The union then tried to get into my pants without buying me dinner first and finally, the tried to bend me over and go all prison shower on me.
Took the first opportuinty to join the "otherside" and haven't looked back. Talk about growth and opportunity? My Union did nothing but hold me back.
Unions are/were an important part of American history, but I'm not so sure there still exists a place for them in certain industries.....
I've been intimately involved with the union a time or two myself. Not as a member, but as part of the management team over a very large and disproportionately powerful union crew.
I was the loading dock supervisor of the distribution center of a large grocery chain. One of my guys almost severed another guys leg (almost killed him) with his forklift. After every accident you're mandated to take a drug screen. It turns out the guy was high as a kite (marijuana). So I fired his ass. Easy breezy right? Notsomuch. The union got his job back in 3 weeks. I was livid. "What the fuck am I here for then?!?", I asked my Operations Manager. "If the union can undermine my authority, and allow these guys to do whatever the fuck they want, then what am I here for?"
I worked there for about a year after that, but it became too much and I moved on. There were other incidents too. Just a lot of bad memories associated with the union for me.
