Default Trying to form a Union

They voted it out because they realized they had been lied to, and
were being screwed by the union. Things they had taken for granted were
no longer available like flex time, or being able to work in another
department instead of being laid off when the workload changed. No flex
time, they had to use time clocks, and were docked for being late. No
free meals to celebrate landing new contracts, and no bonus checks.





It is funny that I work in a shop with union plumbers, but the rest of the
shop is non-union, and looks to stay that way. The union guys are treated
like outside hired help, no keys to the shop, company trucks are left at the
shop, and when work gets slow, they get laid off. On the other hand us
non-union guys have keys, company trucks we drive home, and full use of the
shop after hours. Also when work gets slow, the boss keeps us around doing
matainance in the shop, what ever it takes to keep us around and a paycheck
coming.
