  1. My best friend is gay. Didn't know until a year ago. Then again I don't think he really knew until recently. He doesn't have a lisp, likes cars and guns, and is honest and reliable. If packing fudge makes him happy that's his choice. If he were princess boy it'd be a whole notger ball game. I can't stand the flamer flamboyant fags, and I'd be willing to bet there's a lot of gays that hate that shit too.

  2. Would you guys love your unions if your pay was down to the free market scale?

     

    Fatty, you said... "If I leave, it doesn't mean anything, 2000 guys leave., it means something". Sounds like extortion to me...

     

    Fatty, you said... "not the companies dollar". Meaning that you do not care about the company you work for or their success which feeds your family. I take real pride in my work. If at any time I feel underpaid for what I do, I am free to leave at any time as my employer owes me nothing aside from the wage we agreed on for my services rendered. I do my best to make sure that my company is successful so that I have a real argument for further wage increases based on my work. I do not need 2k others to negotiate this with me.

     

    You speak of union pride. Where is the pride in being overpaid simply because you are part of a gang and not your personal merit?

     

    Fatty, you said... "I am proud. I made a good wage. Got a BONUS (not required by the union). My small company made a 2 Million dollar profit and 3 bosses got new cars. Wait I'm wrong. I'm damn proud".

    Imagine the profit the company would have made had you and your 2 thousand gang members had not extorted the extra 40% pay increase that the guys that were too drunk and stupid to join a gang are making.

     

    Fatty, You sir have not done the unions any service in this thread. Your thoughts confirmed what I have always thought about them.

     

    Saigus, This thread may not have gone where you intended. But IMO, it has served as much, if not better purpose by confirming the leftest, entitlement mentality of unions and those in them for those who may not have known.

     

    Fuck Colt. They got what they deserved. I'll vote with my money on this one and take it elsewhere. I don't want to contribute to the crony capitalism gang.

    I didn't think I came off leftist or entitled, I wont take this personal, but I think its an unfair blanket statement.
  3. I guess every union is different too though. I just joined one, and I don't think I'll stay in it forever, but I'll be taught what I need to know in my trade. I see some here have said it near impossible to fire a union employee and that might be true, but the company I work for will hand you your walking papers in a second. Our HR manager keeps records of all employees, and if the hall tries to send a shitty worker according to her records she says no and asks for a different one. Sometimes unions are good, sometimes they suck and sometimes they are down right atrocious. I guess it depends on the region the trade and the particular union. I'm just gonna put 3 1/2 more years in so I can make journeyman, and decide from there.

  4. GC wasn't my first choice. Was originally looking for a Cherokee but allnpf them are complete rot boxes or 220k miles or more . I checked out 8 of them last Monday and no dice. I haven't bought the GC yet gotta go test drive it and get a price. Was picked up at a dealer auction by one of my customers, he knew I was looking and is giving me first dibs. I'd rather pay to rebuild the diff or tranny in that than in the bronco, which the tranny is starting to shudder and the diff is singing on the highway. And the ford needs a steering gearbox fenders steering column brakes windshield, not putting that kinda money into the truck. This shop also offers a warranty and its one of the oldest shops in town and a good rep, if something breaks hell take care of me or I'll burn his garage down. =) j/k
