Mentioning the fact that he can't be laid off is not interjecting the union into a thread. You saw an opportunity to take a cheap shot and took it, which interjected a whole load of crap about the union that had absolutely ZERO to do with the subject at hand. Then you proceeded to bring my name into the union conversation when you know full well I am not a union thumper.
I'm sorry I don't sugarcoat things enough for you, but if someone wants to know something about a company, I'm not going to blow smoke up their asses and let them be dissapointed later on. Bottom line, the guy asked about the Chicago area and seeing as how I am based out of this terminal, I think what I laid out for him is pretty accurate. But then again you wouldn't have the faintest idea what goes on up here, because you run city in GRL and that's the only aspect of this company that you have ever seen, and you think things are the same across the board. Newsflash: THEY AREN'T. I've run system for almost two years now and have been to every region other than the west coast.
Maybe if you could put your union fixation aside for a little bit, you might actually be able to contribute something to this board, other than typing out the same old three page anti-union essay that you do at least once a week. We get it, give it a rest. Hell I even agree with a good portion of it and I'm still sick of seeing it...
