Ease up on the unions, pal. If I don't miss my guess, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're like a lot of people who enjoy our modern 21st century world, and have no idea what role the unions of the late 19th and 20th centuries played in getting us here. Do you even know who Walter Reuther was, or why the river rouge bridge is important? I'm gonna guess probably not. Try google and learn.

As Janet Jackson so eloquently said, "what have you done for me lately?" I doubt there are many that will argue that unions didn't once serve a very important purpose, but all they've done in the last 20 years is guarantee a high school dropout $40 an hour to press a button on an assembly line. And although I am simplifying the problem, I am not simplifying that much.

I only see one problem with this. You need to add about 40 years to that. Other than that...dead on.As Janet Jackson so eloquently said, "what have you done for me lately?"

This thread got way off topic didnt it?
That being said, Im a union pipefitter, and I would trust a union pipefitter or union eletriction doing work for me before Id trust some fly by night outfit that "learned " their trade piddling in their garage.
I work for a major utility company, this past week I was in a 6' deep hole with shoring welding on a gas main that had 200lbs of pressure running through it, do you want someone thats had years of continous training or a company that hires off the street welding on something like this outside your front door?
not all unions or union members are lazy*****
In a non-union shop, the lazy can be (and usually are) fired for poor performance. In a union shop, it takes an act of God to get someone terminated. The weak are protected, at the expense of you, the hard worker.You are equating union membership with quality, and I think that is a slap in the face to non union individuals that take just as much pride and work just as hard as you think you do. That is elitist thinking and that is actually one of the problems with unions and its membership
the same as equating lazyness with being union ? because some union members are lazy we all are? by your statement you are slapping me in the face.

Show me where I said union was lazy...You are equating union membership with quality, and I think that is a slap in the face to non union individuals that take just as much pride and work just as hard as you think you do.
