Quote: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.
 

That happens far too often in union shops.  Here's another example that happened to my son.

 

He was only on the job for a short period of time.  He's a smoker, and the smoking area at that job site happened to be near the dumpsters.  He noticed that a trash can near his work station  was full, so he pulled the full trash bag out and replaced it with a new one.  While he was doing so, one of his co-workers asked him what he was doing.  He replied that he was going to take a smoke break and empty the full trashcan at the same time since the dumpsters were near the smoking area.  The worker replied that they "had people for that" and that it "wasn't his job".  My son shrugged it off and took the trash out anyway.  He got reprimanded for it.  When he told me about it I explained to him that that's the way union shops work.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
