Re: Headline News Thread
I'm not a union hater. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan of them, but I'm not actively out to get rid of them, which is a bit different. JJ and MNS both stated valid reasons on why they like unions. Fair posts.
It depends on what angle you see them as, and therefore, some different opinions are going to come out.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Originally posted by Slap Shot View PostI worked at UPS for 8 years and rarely had any issues with the union guys. Sure a few of them were malcontents that would push buttons to see what they could get away with, but when called to the carpet they would ultimately get the job done and at UPS we didn't eff around with inefficiency. I didn't envy any of those guys from Thanksgiving through the end of the year either. I did ride-a-longs often during the holiday season and they earned every penny we paid them.
I was a seasonal driver one season.
I'm still scarred.
It wasn't the physical aspects as you get used to it. It's 100% mental as it feels like the truck will never be empty. You've done hours and hours and look back and the truck is still full.
Delivering packages at 9:00PM to nicely decorated, warm homes is a lonely endeavor at this time of year too.
I'm amazed at what those people get done in this short window.
They wanted me to consider going into management and I declined.
Oh yeah... and I was a Teamster.
For 5 weeks.
Brothers for life though.

I worked at a Hostess warehouse as a fill-in schlepping loads and building scaffolding one summer. It was a family-owned facility. We actually had a really good time.Cornell University

Frankly, if you're not angry about what this group of thugs and thieves has done to this country, you haven't used any forethought.Cornell University
