Miller Lite displays “union made” on their cans.

So I quit drinking it.

If you truly are trying to make the best possible choices, drinking Miller Lite would have been nixed much earlier in your decision-making tree for reasons having nothing to do with the fact it’s Union made.

Ftr, I think collective labor bargaining in the US is run by shitheads and has terribly exacerbated the problems they blame exclusively on greedy capitalists.

Didn’t know this was a thing

So by that logic, federal and municipal office employees need unions too? Ostensibly so they aren't subjected to undue pressure?

First responders and government employees are civil servants subject to protections well defined for such employees.

Give me a break.

Found a leech.

[sarcasm] I know, the government has done such a stand of job of ensuring people have a livable wage that matches the rate of inflation in this country [/sarcasm

That's none of govt's business. Unions are protection for the shitty workers.

Amen. Only idiots do dumbass shite like that.

I'm not well versed in the history of unions or anything like that. All I have to go by are my personal experiences. I work a good bit with salt mine union workers and I can tell you without question they are the biggest bunch of cry baby losers I've ever met. It's hard for us to complete any job down there because of all the breaks they take. Let's say break starts at 10AM, they have leave what they're doing 20 minutes early to drive to the break room and get cleaned up before 10. So basically that's an hour down time every time they take a break. They will also intentionally break shite on the machines they are running just so they don't have to work that day. They just sit there and wait for a mechanic because the union says they don't have to attempt to fix anything.

Another time we were installing a fire alarm in west Jefferson medical center where the electrical contractor was union but our fire alarm company was not. They would steal keys from our manlifts and all kinds of other shenanigans when we were not there.

I have never seen grown men, other than union employees, act like this.

It's part of the old Chamber of Commerce / country club Republican ethos, which is rapidly dying.

Those moral midgets have cried wolf in the face of every regulation since the end of the Atlantic slave trade. According to them, we should all be paying $200 for a hot dog now, because of the ADA.

Sounds like in your collective bargaining agreement you have not properly incentivized your union workforce by cutting them in on a share of the profits???
