You see Aerospace employees

I see future 99%ers.

 

I see union workers.

 

I see future unemployed idiots.

 

I see idiots who should be fired but won't be because the company will be to worried about the impending racial disrimination lawsuit.

 

It's hard to believe people would jeapardize their job in this economy. Iditios.

 

I agree that these idiots should be fired but that doesn't seem right. What if some dude who doesn't get drunk and stoned during a break wants to grab some fast food?

 

I'd be checking the labor laws in ol Michigan on that one. Sounds like a case of indentured servitude if someone is prevented from leaving premises while on unpaid break.

 

The unions will use that to make sure they get paid to smoke pot and drink at lunch.

 

Having eaten (once) within the confines of a plant at the union operated cafeteria it is not an option you wish on someone

 

Pretty sure you cannot be "imprisoned" in your place of employment without being on the clock in MN. If their lunch period is paid, not a problem, but if I have to punch out for lunch, I can't be forced to be anywhere until it's time to punch back in.

And the lobbyists can get an amendment to the Clean Indoor Air Act and get a Reefer Room added to all businesses.

 

Too inconvenient.
Won't help the economy.
Don't get to use EBT card.

 

Just to pass on some info to those of you that never got to enjoy the union experience, there is another side..

I was a member of the Laborer and then Carpenter unions back in the mid-80's. For starters, if you showed up on a job and didn't produce, you were sent back to the hall and put on the bottom of the list. You got 1/2 hour for lunch. That includes the time to get it if you didn't bring your own. You got a 15 minute morning and afternoon break...that was when you got to smoke. All the rest of the time you worked your ass off.

Funny thing was I spent most of my time at GE's Appliance Park, which is a city unto itself (has it's own zip code). The people that worked the lines worked pretty hard but the maintenance men were worthless gabage in my book. Basard's would drive their scooter up to where I would be jack-hammering out the foundation for a new press pit and watch...ALL DAY LONG.

Oh, and GE had excellent cafeteria's!

 

Fixed. :up:

 

A friend of mine was a corrections officer at the local jail. There the union required them to eat lunch in the cafeteria every day. The meals were prepared by inmates...eventually they changed the policy when inmates were caught spiking meals with cleaners and solvents.

 

Oh, I totally agree. It just sucks for everyone else.
