You are absolutely correct in your assessment that the company would use the "scabs" to their advantage. I know that having the non-dues paying freeloaders represent themselves will never happen, RTW...

Most apprenticeships are filled through the bid process by current employees working in other classifications. Your best bet is to register on the company website and monitor job openings for an...

Both of the previous replies were right on the $. First of all this legislation should be called the "Freddie the Freeloader Act." Even though they don't pay a dime of dues the union still has to...

With several states enacting RTW legislation and the recent talk about a national RTW policy, I wondered just how many PLC members actually understand the law?

I travel 120 miles round trip to attend my units monthly meeting which is held on a Friday night and very seldom do I miss one. I learned early in my career that it all begins at your union meetings....

You are getting about 10% of the members attending your monthly meetings which seems to be the norm for the majority of locals. Our members have become comfortable and with the real sacrifices made...

Though I feel that the "best team" won the BCS championship, it's time for somekind of playoff. Let's start with the top 4 BCS schools playing each other. 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 then the winners playing...

Chalk this up as "experience." Hard to believe a contractor would not live up to what they had promised :rolleyes: Seriously, next time involve your reps and get it in writing.

As new union members remember to work SAFE (the only dumb question is the one you don't ask) give a good days work for a good days pay and attend your union meetings. To answer your ? AL about why...

I guess we will see come January. Working men who support Republican'ts, un(f#^@ing)believeable! No wait, I did say "working men." Now it makes sense.

Work safe and give 8hrs work for 8hrs pay is where it's at Brother. Good Luck.

And you sound elated DH. All I have to say is any working man or women who votes for a Republican't needs their f^&$ing head examined!

Worked on a GC crew in the late nineties and everytime we went to the division yard for material there was always someone sleeping in their truck. Never seen any of them actually working though I'm...

Do you like to "work" or sleep in the truck?

When asked: What does Labor want? Samuel Gompers, the first President of the AFL, is often misquoted as saying "more." The full quote is as follows: "We want more school houses and less jails; more...

The debt ceiling should be abolished. If the men and women we send to congress can't manage debt in it's annual budgeting process, then they should put in controls that have "teeth" without playing...

I know that the U.S. government has a spending problem that needs to be addressed but this BS with the raising of the debt ceiling is nothing but partisan politics. Our republican hypocrites raised...

2012 will be here before we know it, and what a year it will be. (Notice I didn't say good). If we as union members don't rise to the occasion and defeat our enemies we could be in for some rough...

Being a good union member means helping brothers and sisters that need assistance. Sounds like you been wronged, but of course don't know all the details.

Just get tired of all the worthless BS, and the fact that I'm working 6-10's is the reason I haven't been posting. Also I enjoy intelligent conversation and I love to talk about LINEWORK. This site...

Instead of a third party how about a new faction within the Democratic party that has the "balls" to kick the living shit out of the Republican'ts and the teabagger pussys. We need leaders that are...
