Doesn't have a **** thing to do with the GOP.

Has to do with the workers. It was a Secret ballot.
No Union intimidation....the WORKERS Voted what they wanted, in Secret...and THAT was NO Union.

"Secret Ballot" is the Trick reppy....That way, ya really get to know what the people want.

Your 100% correct in not argue with the man,he is anti union and thats his right.....a union wouldnt be for him anyway....he would complain about that like he complains about every little thing that crosses his mind....and Im not sure any union would want him as a member.....thats unless they like guys that take their own American flag down because of things that happen in Washington in which he disagrees with....Ive never heard anyone begging him to join and thats a good thing.:D

I dont know about that Mr.Swamp....its like a grand jury....nobody is allowed to know the facts except for the people in the room.....so I would have to ask...........what are you hiding?:D

[Old Line Dog]

Your 100% correct in not argue with the man,he is anti union and thats his right.....

Yes I am anti union. I've never liked to walk "Lock step"...and all that "Brother" carp, is just that. I enjoyed workin for companys...that when a worker wasen't worth a Carp....his a$$ was Fired. Not so with the "Brotherhood". Well fcuk that.

I've seen union intimidation...up close and personal.
Sorry. Let both sides "Talk their Siht".

Then hold a Secret ballot,....and let the chips fall where they may. AND...that's exactly what happened.

Union don't like secret ballot...they don't know who to.....

Secret Ballot, be the Honest Vote of the people.

[Pootnaigle]

Umm by defination the secret ballot s foe cowardlyfolks with very little foresight. union or not you are gonna be ";ockstep" with either the employeer or the brothrthood

Ain't no "Coward" folk bout it poot.

It's none of your, fcukin business How a person votes in a Secret ballot.

Like I said...let the union spew their carp...let the company spew their carp....

Hold the secret Ballot!!

How come Union...has so much problem with a "Secret Ballot"?

I know. They can't track....who votes No.

[Old Line Dog]

Umm by defination the secret ballot s foe cowardlyfolks with very little foresight.

After re reading your post...I really can't believe you actually said that.

But...On another note...I CAN believe you said that. Cause you union people, are just fcukin NASTY SOB's.

Secret Ballot is For Cowardly Folks huh poot?

You a card carryin communist, ain't ya poot.:D Well...maby just a Marxist...:p

[Pootnaigle]

Ummm No But if I have an opinion bout which way I am gonna spend my vote I aint skeered to let enybody know bout it. Mite even touch on the whys n wherefors too

[Old Line Dog]

Well...you didn't USE to be scared...you old Fcuk. You're retired... I was never skeered neither. Always spoke my opinion, just like you.

Nowdays...the intimidation factor of the union AND the Company...is negated...by the "Secret Ballot".

Why you union boys got a problem....after ya spew your siht, and the company spews their siht...Let the Secret Ballot, make the decision?

YOU ain't skeered to let everybody know, you're a union boy.
Some people...might be skeered to say they don't Like union....

"Secret Ballot".

Sorta like voting for the president..ya know poot.

Ya want that Siht PUBLIC info too??

[Pootnaigle]

Umm name me any knda way the union can intimidate a workers vote n I'll name you a dozen ways the employers can

[Old Line Dog]

Like I said poot...both sides..."Intimidate" all ya want.

NOW. Hold a SECRET BALLOT!

You union guys...just don't like..."Secret Ballots"...where people can actually express their REAL opinions, do ya.

Employees listen to Union siht...they listen to company siht....

SECRET BALLOT!! You union fcuks don't like that do ya.

[reppy007]

All is fine Swamp.Im happy that you stand by what you think.but help me with this.....your no fan of Walmart....thats a non-union job....I wont say all,but they have a great amount of idiots working for them....employees with no pride,employees that aint helpful,employees with no what-so-ever future,unless your in upper management.Look at other stores and their employees appearances look professional,they are helpful,and know about products they sell.......at the non-union walmart all you hear from an employee is that they are new,or I dont know.....and finally we are out of this Mr.reppy.....they dont attempt to look in the stockroom.....from my experiences the best walmart employees are the greeters......at least they can tell what your walking out with........and they always ask me to show them the retirement residence that I stay in.....in which I reply,dont rush it.....your have your turn soon.:D

[T-Man]

VW let the UAW pitch all the union they could to those workers, equal to the information that, that Senator pitched also. The workers voted to not unionize., same way the teachers up here in Wisconsin opted out of the Union.

It just looks to me, the way of the union, is going away.

[Pootnaigle]

Umm If'n that happens it will be a sad day fer Merica n everbody innit

[reppy007]

I agree Mr.Poot...being in a union means several different things....your able to have a contract written down and signed,an agreement if you will.....without that you have nothing else,so a company can tell a guy for years and years that he will be getting a raise......that raise never comes cause there is nothing that states he will....no agreement....no nothing.....that means not $hit.So these people just screwed themselves.....when they realize what they did it will be too late.....and they can blame their own stupid a$$es.....even my attendant is a member of the union:D.....all I can say is .......OHHH WELL!

[Pootnaigle]

ummmmmm Swimp prolly will secret vote us both outta the ole folks home

[reppy007]

ummmmmm Swimp prolly will secret vote us both outta the ole folks home

Well he just might do that Poot,it wouldnt hurt me a bit cause I love being outside looking in instead of inside looking out.....saying all of that, knowing the Swamprat like I think I know him.He would even go farther and secret vote my loyal attendant out as well.But the old attendant is smart.........He has a contract,and an agreement,so he is safe.:D

[Pootnaigle]

Umm my onlyest attendant is my doggie dog n he aint gotta card n if he did he wud eat it, jus like he duz my dinner mosta the time.He fer sure aint skeerda makin his vote known n he iz adverse to timidation of eny kind

Yea,but he's ours..:(..one of us..:mad:..even if he is anti-union.....guess we kind of adopted him.

One good thing about the Union, is your attendant Rep, could screw up and give you the wrong meds at bed time causing you to have night mares or worse, and the they'd fire him, and the Union would fight to get him back so he could screw up a few more times and the union wouldn't be short on dues so the Union ties could find a better more expensive rest home where that don't happen heaven forbid :cool:

Don't get me wrong Reppy, your attendant is probably getting top wages with little responsibility, just so you don't check out on his shift. Or he'll get three more days off.

You say without an agreement you have nothing else? Of course you do! You have your Merit and your work ethic. And There are many Non-Union companies in America (Millions)that do take very good care of there employees. Neither of my adult children belong to a Union but they do pretty well. I think we'd all agree a Union has it's benefits but there are many members that wouldn't make it in the private sector.

Hey Rob you know and I know that Unions have their problems,your right when you say there is lots of good non-union hands,and some good non-union companies......alot of the stuff I put out is meant to get the swamprat going....and it does......I sort of got him in the palm of my hands.....just in a different way :D

Exactly. "Of COURSE you do"!! Your Merit, your Work ethic, AND Your Pride as a person, and A Lineman.

Ya don't need some organization takin care of your a$$. There are also Non Union...Brothers. It's called, "Brothers in the Trade". And, we been doin just fine out here without union.

And yeah....I've seen "Union brothers"...that got busted out of the union for a year...because of "infractions"....come to work on a Non union contract crew.

Pittiful sight to see....them getting back in shape, and actually doin LINEWORK.
