frick the UAW.

Many moons ago I used to bartend at a restaurant next to a UAW Ford plant.

Their workers would come in on their lunch breaks, and proceed to get completely wasted. Then they would go back to work, drunk.

Who would ever buy a car made by these idiots? Not me.

Not only that, but they were the worst customers ever. I'd have rather served nothing but "can I speak to your mananger" haircut ladies and Canadians, Indians and other bad tipping demographics nonstop than these jackasses.

They also had a huge sense of entitlement. Our restaurant had a Ford employees discount for them, but we took it away because these assholes were extremely disrespectful to our staff, rude, and didn't tip. When the resaturant finally took it away they all would come in and throw tantrums and say they were going to file a union grievance against the restaurant. Then stomp their feet, tip nothing and leave saying they would never come back. They'd come back a week or two later, do the same shite, demand a discount for the fact they were a Ford employee, and when we'd say no, they would throw a tantrum and claim their union had a contract with the city to require all restaurants within a certain radius of the plant to offer discounts for Ford employees.

I ended up quitting this restaurant because of these assholes, despite it being a good place to make money. A Ford employee tried to free roll me and I chased him out to his truck. He said he refused to pay his $78 tab(which included 3 double Grey Goose and Tonics) because his drinks were too "watered down" which I called bullshite on. Since this was the 3rd time in a month I had a walkout(we got comped 2 walkouts per month), I had to pay it out of my own pocket. I quit shortly after because I couldn't deal with Ford employees anymore.

frick the UAW. frick American cars. I'm all about buying American except for cars. GM, Ford, Dodge, all pieces of shite. Japanese cars are superior.

Im going from 40-60 hours next week at my union job because we are behind.

I legit give them 60 hours of scoped work every week while my peers struggle to give them 30, so rather than punish the lazies the common sense approach is give them 20 hours of overtime instead.

Unfortunately nowhere else in town is going to give 35 days PTO and cheap insurance. What's a lad to do but complain about the lazies?

I just don't understand why they can't get good benefits AND enforce productivity. Make them earn it for the sake of Pete.

You are a pretty shitty shillbotalter.

If you want to be effective at controlling this board then slow your roll. Starting 30+ threads in your first week already blew your cover.

I have some very bad news for you then, very few cars from Japan are sold in the US, they are all American cars.

I have no problem with Mazdas. I'm considering pulling the trigger on a CX5 this summer.
