When are you people going to stop blaming everyone else for our own mistakes?
yes my union has done good
i go to every meeting
i ask
i tell
and there are members that actually care
more that me (in some things)
i don't blame MY union
i am MY union
its just like we are learning (about time)
all unions are different just like our pensions
are that communication alone is like seeing you kid graduate kindergarden eh
Our jobs, our pensions, our middle class lifestyles have all went overseas. We run straight to Walmart with our paychecks every week and buy every thing we can there never caring where it's made or from what country it comes from and then wonder why the factory down the street is closing. Oh that's OK i never liked that old factory in my neighborhood anyways. It didn't matter much in the 70's and the 80's nobody paid much attention but now their all going to China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Mexico and so on leaving us holding the bag to pay the taxes the factories use to pay for our schools, roads, police, fire and on and on. But instead of looking around and trying to support Made in the U.S.A. I'm going to blame Hoffa or my Local Union (who by the way is buying Made in the U.S.A.). Wake up you guys, we are the last chance to save this country from ourselves. We still have the best jobs around and we can still buy from each other and turn this around. If we demand our clothes to be made in Tn or NC or Tx somebody will start making them there. Start looking at the tags. Stop blaming the people that are trying to help us.
