NWI INGO General Post - Part 5

[melensdad]

I see what you're saying and I'm kinda the same way but I will respect a line if one is formed.

I view it as a dispute between the employer and the employee.

I do not view it as a dispute between the employee and the customer (me).

As a customer of a product, I buy/replinish the product when I need/want it, not when an employee wants me to buy it.

If I go to buy the product when the employee is upset at his employer, that is not my problem. If the employee then scratches/spits upon/blocks my car as I pull into the parking lot then clearly the employee does not want me as a customer . . . except at his personal convenience. His convenience is no concern of mine.

My concern is to fullfil my needs and the needs of my family.

So if I go to get my legal product, when I need/want it, and I am thwarted by a group of disgruntled employees, then the likelyhood of me EVER GOING BACK is slim to none. F'em. They injure me (my car, my ability to shop, etc) and I have no problem injuring them (by no longer buying said product/service). Now if the employee chooses to kiss and make up with his boss, he may still end up out of a job because of the way he treated me.

Its my money, I will spend it as I wish, and I choose to spend it at stores/with services that value me as a customer.

 

[jedi]

No, how about CUSTOMER, the one you should treat with RESPECT.

If you don't want me at your store/shop/business today then why should I ever come there and pay for your product? And if I don't pay for your product then you will never make a living. How about you not bite the hand that ultimately feeds you?

You got a beef with your boss, that is not my problem. You make it my problem and I'll go shop elsewhere and you are screwed.

But in the case of Culver's on Ridge it's not the current workers that are striking/boycotting the business. It's people (carpentor's union) that did not get the business in the first place. So it's not an internal fight.

It similar to use boycotting "Cheaper Than Dirt" for their flip-flopping on 2A at least in my mind.

Oh you young lad.
You will soon learn that daddy (melensdad) and mommy (jedi) seldom agree. mommy 95% of the time will just disagree cause it's daddy that stated something.

True that!
However the owner of these Culver's (per the flyer) went before the Highland board for 'tax credits' and the board wanted him to use "prevaling local area wages for workers who will do the construction" (ie. probably means use union members) and he agreed to that.

Said owner per the flyer backed out on that agreement. He could of always said no i don't agree with that and I'm sure the highland board would probably not have given him the tax credits.

There in lines my issue with this. He gave his word and he broke it so if his word is not good enough then f**** him!

Each person is entitled to their own opinion and how they would conduct a business transaction. With myself being in the Labor Field, I WILL ALWAYS support any labor disputes. I know how companies will say one thing and quickly renig on an agreement. How is that fair? The town supposably gave them a tax break and Culvers backed out the agreement. It's gonna make it hard to do business with the Culvers guy in future towns now see that his lack of honesty is showing.

[actaeon277]

Only day off, and I'm at work for a physical. Answering a stupid questionnaire. 5 pages on questions about a respirator I don't even use. The rest would be simpler if they asked about changes in the last year. I don't remember when why family members passed, or when I started certain meds. I'm rapidly losing patience.

But when Culvers applied for the building permit it could have been an approved general contractor they hired and then the general contractor hired the sub contractors. So is Culvers responsible for who the general contractor hires. It would be like me hiring a lawn care company and telling them only midgets are allowed to mow my lawn. Just my thoughts , which really mean nothing in this world.

35 Lego Mega Constructions You (Probably) Haven’t Seen Before

How about these Jedi xD?

some of these builds...

 

[melensdad]

... The town supposably gave them a tax break and Culvers backed out the agreement. It's gonna make it hard to do business with the Culvers guy in future towns now see that his lack of honesty is showing.

There is ZERO evidence that Culvers backed out of any agreement.

All we actually know is that Culver's contractor did not use this particular union.

Perhaps they used a different union and still paid prevailing wages! That has happened before, will happen again.

Perhaps they used non-union and paid prevailing wages. That has also happened many times before and will happen again.

IF Culvers backed out of an agreement them Highland would not have to give them any tax break. Where is the evidence that Highland pulled the tax breaks? There is none. So if Highland is honoring the tax break then its very likely that this is a simple case of one pissed off union that didn't get a job because some other union, or some non-union workers, were paid prevailing wages.

It amazes me that people make so many assumptions without factual info. If it comes out that Highland pulled the tax break then its likely Culvers didn't pay prevailing wages. That is still legal.
