Now that we own GM

My work week is 35 hours and my union constitution advocates a 30 hour work week.

"We hold a reduction of hours for a day's work increases the intelligence and happiness of the laborer, and also increases the demand for labor and the price of a day's work. We advocate the adoption of the Five-Day, Thirty-Hour Work Week and urge all Local Unions to put this into effect as soon as possible."

An intelligent and happy laborer? Unheard of!

I do miss the shorter days

Talk about corruption. You left out that the rank and file union workers don't have Congressional Offices with thousand of dollars in the freezer.

Well we are back to where it started the government is the problem Dem and Rep.

It amazes me that anyone has to point this out--scares me, actually. This isn't opinion. It's the truth.

You may be too young to remember life before unions. That's no excuse. Read a book, for crying out loud.

How about Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It may change your mind about unions.

 

[fenez]

Thats the problem... there are no dems. and reps. it is just the government against it's people, I laugh at people who actually still think that there are 2 parties...it is just an illusion.

Maybe tomorrow will be the day I climb the local water tower with a high powered assault rifle. Probably not but maybe.

That is hilarious!
We can take this subject up another time. I will be expecting answers to if you own or rent. And if you own, did you have the great union build your house or a non union builder. Which, to save face, I am sure you will come back with. I built it myself.

 

[fenez]

Unions don't build here on LI well not residential at least

 

[dumwaldo]

I rent. You woudnt believe the real estate market around here... OK truth be told I am just very irresponsible with money. My wife and I vacation a lot.

Oh by all means let's do away with altruism. Terrible thing, that....

Altruism is very hard to come by when money is involved.... most will do what is right for themselves

I don't believe anyone here has read Ayn Rand, I have met people that have read it and they still don't get it.

Thats the problem... there are no dems. and reps. it is just the government against it's people, I laugh at people who actually still think that there are 2 parties...it is just an illusion.

That is why I said Dem and Rep. other wise no one would get the idea that both party's was the government.They would have though I meant one party or the other or who was in power at this time.

Thanks for that pro-union sentiment!

 

[fenez]

Thanks for that pro-union sentiment!

I have worked both union and now non union and both have their merits.

I appreciate your views--truly. Just teasing a bit there...

Thanks, I don't mind a good ribbing.

I have met fenez and i bet he could eat a whole side of ribs so this looks to be an honest statement.

I definitely do and have eaten a whole side of ribs, as well as a few orders of fries

That sound better than arguing over stuff. We can just go stuff ourselves with rib and fries.

 

[fenez]

mmmmmm yeah I'll start the grill

I guess now wouldn't be a good time for me to mention that I'm a vegetarian.
