This is the kind of crap that makes people want to buy imports. I say fire them and give the job to some one who actually wants to work.
our bikes are imports
Exactly my point. I try to buy American every chance I get, but I always find myself leaning toward imports for automobiles and motorcycles.
Oooooh...somebody's in trouble. I don't think I could kill beer like that when I was in college.
I don't think it's the lack of tax breaks that are causing companies to go overseas. I think it's more this kind of stuff right here. Then things like taxes and such make it a no brainer.
Why have workers that are 2-3 times more compensated with a third less effort and integrity?
Well I have one import car an import pick up and a domestic suv Ford escape. both of our bikes are suzuki... I buy what ever is most cost effective for me. And that is not always a domestic product,, but i do love seeing people with vehicles stickers saying out of a job yet keep buyng foreign,,, there is more foreign parts in their vehicles than they think,
this is what gives other unions a bad rep. i am an IBEW local union 271. im proud of our union. we dont tolerate that crap.
as for the union protecting them that is bs as well. fire them and forget em. these unions need to stand up to the members at some point. now they are going to bring alot of bad rep and publicity to ALL unions. we wouldnt be here today if it werent for them.
What INTEGRITY ? I've never met any Union member of a LARGE UNION work shop with integrity. They're probably there, I just have NEVER met one. I was always getting what they didn't have to do, rather than what they would do with QUALITY ! Kinda like when I would hear someone under my Command say; "THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOVERNMENT WORK". It would send me BALLISTIC ! And SO Sorry lease: to the one who uttered those words
FYI My Union Brother.
As you know, the Union was put in place for a very good reason, however, the UNIONS get bad raps because of people like this.
BUT,
what is NOT EVER relayed to the public, and even some Union members, is that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MANDATES that ALL Union members are protected equally.
People always say, why are they protecting these deadbeats?
They HAVE too!
Federal Law says so.
