Quote:For myself personally, I don't "need" someone to do my bidding...I have plenty of experience in my current field and in others such as welding and shipfitting...I have been in several unions through the years and more non union jobs...I'm not a person who only believes in Unions, actually I dont care if my job is union or non union...If I change jobs before I retire, I will take a non union job or a union job, whichever appeals to me most at that time...Location would probably be the biggest factor but union or non union makes no difference to me
That's fine. I guess you have no regard to the cost of the goods and services you  pay for.  For me, that kind of thing matters, and here's why.

 

Back around the turn of the century, I worked at O'hare for United Airlines. One particular day, I was working, and saw a bumper fall off a luggage tug cart. Being an operations manager and working in the tower, I was responsible for basically everything on the ramp. I contacted the driver of the tug, and advised him what happened and told him to go back and get the bumper off of the ramp/ taxi area. His response was that it wasn't his job and wasn't his problem. After some back and forth, his ultimatum was for me to contact his union steward if I didn't like it. My next call was to ATC to stop all aircraft traffic through that area. Before my word could be relayed, a  767 taxied through, and the #2 engine ingested the bumper. It ruined the engine. The flight was canceled, and the ultimate cost to the airline ended up in the tens of millions. 

 

All of that could have been avoided if some loser would have taken 2 minutes to go back and clear a hazard from the area. It wasn't his job though. He was never disciplined, but it cost a lot of people a lot of time and money and hassle.

 

Perfect example of how unions protect and encourage non-action to the detriment of the greater good.
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
