My IQ is in the top two per cent of the population, so I don't expect everyone to understand things as well as I do and my feelings aren't hurt by internet name callers. That is why I am here giving free advice to the less mentally endowed. I do thank ROADY for thanking me for helping to pay his retirement. If given the choice whether or not to join the union in the 4 union jobs I have had, I would have said no for many reasons, one being I do not like helping someone like Barrack Obama getting elected my situation does not require a retirement plan (one that seems to be failing) I am already semi-retired and can go full anytime, also I am double covered on medical already. I have a great trucking job with a family owned company ( I get paid what was agreed and work the schedule agreed to), even the owner gets out and drives a truck a couple days a week. Many were brainwashed growing up about union jobs and ignore how worthless the unions have become, if you need the retirement and the medical and get it then great, we don't all need it and should not be required to participate. Took the jobs because they were the best I could find at the time, unfortunately they did not stay that way. Slim66 taking a withdrawal card is not quitting the union, I am still in good standing and can come back anytime as I have done in the past, still have retirement credit. Don't call people who are brilliant, dumb over the internet, makes you look stupid. Someone made a statement about how his standing on a picket line is why we have AC in trucks and how grateful we should be, to me that is stirring the pot, high seniority workers against low seniority, that is why I entered this thread. This is the super moderator insinuating I am stupid, read it and ask yourself how smart it sounds: "[Look...you are "Free (to be) Dumb and I am free to tell you how are dumb you are sounding. You must have been in a closed shop state if you were "forced' to pay union dues."
how are dumb you are sounding- good goof
Telling people to get off this forum and not listening to people who you do not agree with is how you end up believing in things that are not true. You think you know it all and only believe the things you were told as a child and told by the TV,(it is easier than thinking and doing research). Stick your head in the sand and you believe that an open fire can melt steel and cause three skyscrapers to disintegrate and fall straight down.
