i dont hold the entire union resposible for 1 idiot!!
i have stated many times that i wish i were union and i definetly understand the benefits of the union. unfortunately because of dipshits like the spitter, many of the guys i work have a bitter taste about unions and wil not hear of joining even though we are at about 2/3 of union scale right now.
"You would also come to understand that non union guys actually drive the wage rate down."
if ya actually think about it why would someone not want higher wages? the correct answer is that something has happened so they would rather take a lesser wage than be associtated with any group even if they are "smarter". i guess this is all in how you look at it i understand both sides of the fence. i would try to organize my utility except it is full of union haters!! i have never looked down my nose at union guys, i judge a lineman by his ability and personality not the card in his pocket. so in my opinion that may not make me as smart but twice the man you are!!!!!!!:confused:
