Quote:I think that is the point.  Unions seem to me to not promote true team work.  A job needs doing and everyone chips in and get the job done.  Union mentality seems to me to be "not my job"  "talk to my steward"  

 

For example, last week I assisted facilities maintenance in trouble shooting an automatic door.  Not my job but I have expertise and experience that they do not.  To me it is the right thing to do.  Also a little bit of paying it forward.

 

It's just common sense.  Liberal and "union think" is that it's not their job and they are against their employer and only care about their job and benefits.  They don't care about the actual job or the goal of their employer, they only care about "what they get".  To them it's such a bad thing that someone took initiative to empty a full trash can because it "takes away" from somebody else's job.  They don't understand that a simple act like that makes everyone's job easier and makes everybody more productive.

 

I personally cringe when I hear somebody say "that's not my job", especially if it's a trivial task that takes just a couple of minutes of their time.  To me that's not a team player and would be one of the first people that I would let go should layoffs happen.  It's essentially veiled laziness.
