Another Union Hater

I read this post last night but could not respond because he posted on the non-union forum. I was hoping that a mod would have moved it over here so that some of us slow, lazy, inconsiderate, arrogant, pompous union workers can respond.

Now let's get one thing straight from the get-go. I have had good and bad experiences at union and non-union stops alike though not proportionately. If this is an unfair generalization, let me know why. My experience, in my ten years of driving, has led me to not even consider working in a union environment. I don't want to be part of this miserable, exclusive crowd where "buy american" seems to mean, buy our overpriced, inferior quality products so we can keep our overpayed, cushy jobs. These people will vote along a party line according to their paychecks without regard to social and moral issues that, frankly, are more important and will ultimately chew up our pay in the long run. They are the slowest, laziest, most inconsiderate people and I loathe the load that begins or ends at a unionized company.

You may brand me as a crybaby of sorts, but I think that my opinion is objective and I am curious about the thoughts of other drivers. Unions are not pro American as they were decades ago; they are pro union. This they make clear, in part, by the way they treat other American drivers, the way they vote, their arrogant, pompous entitlementality, and their rage when they don't get their way.

Good grief, where to start!?
He says he is curious about what other drivers think, but obviously not enough to put his union bashing on a forum where we can have constructive debate.
I'm too slow and lazy to type any more.

I believe you will find the same slow, lazy, inconsiderate, arrogant, pompous workers in non-union employment also, maybe not as many, but there are. I'm in a non-union company, and we have our share of those. There may be more in a Union, but that's another story.

How about 1 of you guys that are eligible to post on the non union forum asking tstom to come over here so we can find out more about the union companies that he hates so much. Maybe, because he is new to the Truckingboards, he just started the thread in the wrong forum or else he just wants like minded people to agree with him & he doesn't want to read our opinions on his topic.
