I need no rat bastard union.
It's just another hand in my wallet.
There's a very good reason many People refuse to vote for union contracts as well other things voted on:
The contracts have too many pointless stipulations, new regulations, etc., and voting anymore results in nothing gained as the results have already been decided and will be initiated regardless of vote count.
I've NEVER been in any union and NEVER WILL and regardless that some current and FORMER union members may claim "you know not of what you speak", well, too bad, for I know enough to form my opinions.
GOOD LUCK, bend over, say AHHHH!!!
CK, alot of ppl share your opinion, however the union works for us at Sysco, I really can't imagine what they would do to us if we were not represented, one of the best things we have is the progressive dicipline, in other words, they can't just up and fire us for screwing up once, everyone messes up, such as having an accident, they wanted to drive our insurance through the roof, the union said no, they bargained for hours on that subject, wound up getting us a better deal, had we not had our job stewards and the union reps there across the table from the company men and their lawyer, sysco could have just made that decision and there wouldn't have been a thing we could have done about it.
Your opinion is your own to have, this subject has been debated on here a thousand times or more, bottom line is, it works for us and even the guys that choose not to join are enjoying the benefits of the unions hard work, thats right to work for you.
I do take a bit of offence though, why would you come on this thread and **** all over something that I am proud of? Your opinion was unsolicited, there was little to gain for you to come over to a thread and take a shot like that, especially on a thread that has so many union members posting on it.
CK, you know I respect what you have to say, and I consider you a friend, but what you posted was in poor taste, it would have been better posted over in the union non debate section.
For the record, I didn't bend over, I don't have to, I have rules, and so does the company, we both have to follow them, its not one sided here. Ask the guys at sysco AR, they fear for their jobs on a daily basis, management does what they please, here at sysco OK, they can't do that, thank God!
