wonderful. do you post off-topic bullshit on other boards, or just this one.
>>2787750Do you always get molested by everyone or just your stepdad?
>>2787747What union?Unions seem like the best gigs if you live in a city with a lot of big commercial or public infrastructure jobs.It also seems like union workers of all trades are basically just glorified laborers. Take the union's approach to concrete work for example. You have 'carpenters' for the forms, 'ironworkers' for the steel and 'cement finishers' for the finishing of the concrete. All of these guys are only skilled in one part of the process and that one skill is really pretty narrow. Like can you really call yourself a carpenter if all you can do is set forms? An experienced non-union concrete worker can usually do all 3 of those things.Or what about electricians? Half of the union electricians wouldn't even know how to wire a 3-way switch because all they do is bend conduit and pull wires. Are they really electricians or just laborers?
>>2789591>screw some 2x4s together to make a square>"carpenter">slop some rebar down into the square>"iron worker">cement finishersyea ok i'll buy thatthe other ones tho fuckin lmao
>>2791534I mean even cement finishers it's sometimes a stretch to call them that because like for instance the guys that do the freeways out of concrete just get those huge machines to do the finishing for themyet we still call those people cement finishersunion labor is kind of a joke, it's hard to imagine that they get paid so much
I am a glorified button pusher that makes $38hr. Saturday 1.5x Sunday 2x. Comfy.
>>2792146I think unions are necessary to protect the common working man but, Jesus some of the work I've seen union workers do is atrocious. Not even so much a job being lazily done as "what the fuck are you smoking?" Kind of work
>>2787747can't wait till they make unions illegalunions were useful in the past to initiate worker's rights movement, but now all it does is protect shitty lazy workers and needs to go awayif you don't want to work for your wage then you deserve to waste away and die in the streets
>>2787747based union worker man
>>2792741>I think unions are necessaryThat's because you're retarded
>>2787747Why are you posting some jungle asian (Filipino?) ladyboy. What does that have to do with unions?At least post an image somewhat related to the topic.
>>2793118>business owner gets to have entire departments to improve their negotiating ability (legal, hr) >but YOU aren’t allowed to form your own pseudo legal and hr departments
>>2787752kek
unions end up being full of mongoliods, anyone with ambitious leaves.
