Here’s the biggest part..

We can’t win AI with Wind and solar.
We can’t end coal!
We have to build back America with American workers! That’s union and non union workers. American workers.
Can we be honest no one cares about Ukraine
What we all should care about is American production.
I made more because in my line of work companies were investing! It’s been 4 years and all the plans except for buccees ( non union) was actually built.

Stopped listening when you said you’re a union member. You might as well be on welfare. Take your handouts/socialism elsewhere.

If someone actually said something about how they will have an affect on people being able to unionize, my mind would explode.

You are an absolute idiot with no knowledge of American history. Maybe read a book and have some respect for people that actually unionized to make your life better today.

Explain to me why it makes sense economically.

More akin to economic terrorism.

You know how many union members want work, faith, and family? Attacking me isn’t the answer. You should see the Democratic Party doesn’t have a hold on Americans because of how they get work.

We go to work just like everybody else, we just have representatives that negotiate better pay for us than non-union guys.

What part of that is terrorism, you fricking retard?

You sound biased. If only I was overpaid compared to what the market says I should be.

Thanks for passing on the costs to us consumers and making it harder to hire.

No I follow American history. I know the coal mines and the union busters.

I also know that there illegal immigration keeps going…. Saw it for myself on the job and in my former line of work( military) actual Americans will be fighting for crumbs when immigrants will get big loans to take American union and non union jobs.

I can about American workers. Don’t care if you’re in my local. I know plenty who aren’t. They have their reasons. I want them before immigrants getting penny’s on the dollar.

That's a well thought out and rational conclusion. Holy shite.

I'm personally a Union member (and the biggest MAGA supporter out there--as are 100% of the baws I work with). We work for a Fortune 100 company, and all of our craft positions are unionized--there is no split between represented/non-represented workers. So, in your world, I should have rejected their job offer when it was mentioned that my work would be done under a union contract? Having just survived the 2008 crash, I was not in a place financially to reject just about any kind of job. The fact that it came with extra protections and high-end pay for the market was a bonus, but I was down to either filing bankruptcy or getting a job like this one.

Based on your extreme and unhinged ideas about union members if you make over minimum wage you are grossly overpaid.

Look, if you believe in fixed wages for your labor, I’d recommend voting for Kamala. She has your back, comrade.

Judging by the mental capacity you've shown here, you are overpaid, even if you do nothing.

I'm actually subbing out for a non-union contractor because they can't find enough people, but our customers are free to choose non-union shops. They just keep coming back to us.

Duhhhh, the unions got us a 2 day weekend. bullshite. Companies were offering it before. Unions are for protection of shitty workers and the leadership. Everyone I know who has been in a union and worth a damn were totally frustrated by their unions protecting the losers among them. Frustrated as frick.

You like many union members have no say what the higher up union officials do. They negotiate on behalf of you but at the same time donate your dues against your will to the democrats. The leaders of the uaw sold out their membership to get subsidies for the electric vehicles. Knowing that that mandate would kill the auto industry. But hey their high paying job is safe and if your union is like mine. These frickers never seem to be up for a vote to the general membership just the local assholes. Tell
Me where I’m wrong

If you started your own company would it be a union shop? If you said yes you lie and are one of the reasons why our country is in the shape it is. Oh and you lie
