UAW On Strike

[jamil]

We can have so much fun with this.

Do you get a rise out of Otis?

Eh. I dunno. That's like a dad joke.

 

[Ingomike]

But. I know for a fact that Mike is not right all the time. He's wrong about HOA's. And he's wrong about documents. Oh. And bike paths.

A broken clock is right twice a day…

What makes it different? The ability to climb that ladder without being in a union. The owner is a union member because he had to be to work that trade. Further, there is no great impetus to unionize private law.

He did post a link to some lawyers wanting to form a union at a law firm or whatever. If they did, guess who is never making partner?

 

[Creedmoor]

Enlighten us.

Googles your friend.

Does Fain not know the difference between revenue and profit? One couldn't prove it with that video.

A 21% pay increase...and they want more...

 

[jamil]

Okay. So what does Fain want?

And what's a fair share for stockholders?

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

He’s made big promises to the rank and file. He’s got a show to put on first.

I'm telling you. There is another option that the UAW socialist/communist leadership has not thought about. That is all the new plants in Mexico that the big three are gonna be building when it is cheaper to do that than pay the wage increase over the life of the contract.

And you can thank all of us for that generous income.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this. You want medical, dental, vision and death benefits after you retire?

Yes, we were guaranteed this because of the contracts. The new hires don't get it anymore but then again the Company kicks in a lot for their retirement and benefits that I do not get.
My wife works for the school system and she gets bennies if she pays into it.

Oze, you don't get anything from your employer after 30 years or more of employment?

 

[KokomoDave]

I did post that I was self employed for many years with welding, fabrication, doing sanitary pipe tig and other work in factory's, plants and distribution centers. and I got into Industrial Maintenance in the past 6 years or so.
So with my working years and the different employment I have done, yes I've worked in a huge amount of buildings. And I will say it yet again, my ex works as a International Union Law Attorney, Her Father and the other 4 siblings are Union Law Attorneys, I worked as a Union Mechanic, my bestie of 14+ years has a law doctorate. She has spent many years doing HR and Union Contract work for companies that have a Union workforce. Hopefully you will read this and understand what I've posted for what ??? the third time...

And whats a bad ass? So I choose to enlist in the USMC, I earned a 300 series MOS, and when that was over I spent 5 years working in the private sector. A few years later I took off work for a year and a half and did a solo sail for 30,000 miles. And in the next years or two, I'm gonna do it again with my Thing 2.
Most folks dont choose to do those things. But I do have a kid thats sorta following with a few family traditions.
I chose a different life than most have, good bad indifferent. Your opinion really matters not to me. As I woud hope that mine doesn't matter to you.

I post just like I talk, with a factory voice. I change not if we met or when I'm speaking with one of my Mothers. I

A funny thing was said to me when a few of us met for a reloading swap meet awhile ago. Two members and I were talking and laughing and one that just bought a few boxes of ammo from me said, I would have though you would be more over bearing than you actually are in person. All of us laughed.

Excluding those here that know and have met me,
I'm quite certain that I have done more for other members here, than they have done for me.

I know you! You just love my pile of wrong handed holsters...

 

[Creedmoor]

And you can thank all of us for that generous income.

And again, what does the company/union you work for contribute to your pension?

 

[Creedmoor]

I know you! You just love my pile of wrong handed holsters...

Even for them being retarded, My jealousy with that pile, truly has no bounds.
It was a Matterhorn of fine leather, on the table and continuing to the overflowing tubs on the floor.

 

[KLB]

And again, what does the company/union you work for contribute to your pension?

That is such a stupid retort.

 

[Creedmoor]

That is such a stupid retort.

Zigg asks me.
How much did your employer contribute to your pension?

So I ask for the same from Zigg when he asks me what my employer puts towards my pension, And I post what they pay,
And my request, is a stupid retort. LOL

 

[Brad69]

I retired at 44 with a pension and full medical for myself and dependents.
Some guy's retired at 38!

Non union job.

No Union is needed, others negotiate for the Armed Services employees.
Many earned and earn that pension when enlisting as a teen.
