I have personally experienced this. <br /><br />There are certain acts such as theft which will get most people fired. But unions do frequently protect bad employees. <br /><br />Union employees are usually great. It's the leadership that stinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-31850619384435221152012-04-14T18:09:16.888-04:002012-04-14T18:09:16.888-04:00But, the hourly worker must conform to all of the ...But, the hourly worker must conform to all of the other facets of the unionized workforce; there is no protected class, they simply do not pay dues to the union.ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-3076058072066927972012-04-14T16:13:28.793-04:002012-04-14T16:13:28.793-04:00My brother-in-law is driving me crazy.

He is management and has never had a union job but did work for a union company once. He left when they wanted to move his job to Philly and his first wife did not want to move. I asked if unions are the answer, why did he go into business for himself and not to continue to work for a union company. He kept over riding me, that he wasn't in the union. <br /><br />Unions are not the answer. Unions are the reason that America is so uncompetitive in the world. Stubborn man. I'll keep at him.clb2012nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571313989422710229noreply@blogger.com
