Re: Democrats trying to socially engineer the suburbs with "Infrastructure"
In a 4 person plumbing company should the owner CEO make 100x’s what one of his 2 other plumbers or even the new kid that carries around materials? No... but when your decisions effect the income and livelihood of thousands of employees and the profitability of a multi-million dollar per year company, yes, yes they certainly do.

Re: Democrats trying to socially engineer the suburbs with "Infrastructure"
This is a big circle jerk and neither side will concede. Bottom line. If you don’t have the ability to express your worth to the person paying you, then a union is good for you
If you don’t have strong desire to succeed and drive to be great, than a union is for you. If you do t mind working twice as hard as the guy next to you, for the exact same pay, than a union is good for you
Yes, some unions have better than average benefits. But let’s be real. For lax to claim anyone that benefits from someone in the past negotiating, they should pay. That is just boneheaded.
With that logic, ever worker should be paying a fee for everything they get in life. We should be paying a fee for the guy that invested the tire. And the guy that decided we need home owners insurance. Or a fee to the guy that came up with the idea to wear rain jacket in the rain.
The main issues a majority of Americans have with unions is the shake down approach. You want protection from your store burning down, you will pay me each week to live here.
Look at all the school teachers that are forced to pay union dues. And I see it every year. Those union dues go right to marketing campaigns that mail phoney talking points about how evil republican politicians are. Why should every school teacher be forced to support one party rule in politics?
Unions were good 100 years ago. But today, they are no different than a street gang that Shakes down a store owner for the right to have his store in that neighborhood. You don’t want your building to burn, you better than a union workers. And when I say thank, I mean pay me

Re: Democrats trying to socially engineer the suburbs with "Infrastructure"
Not at all. I even stated that guys like Beezos and Gates and Jobs kinda get a pass on this rant. But even those guys ...100X more than the average worker? I just think that’s a bit over the top.
But clearly ...I’m in the minority so ...fuck it. Carry on

Re: Democrats trying to socially engineer the suburbs with "Infrastructure"
So if 50.1% of the employees vote for a union 100% must join and every single person getting hired after that must also join.
How about I don't join the union and negotiate my own wages and benefits? Suppose I get 97% of what the union does but still come out ahead because the union leeches don't suckle at my paycheck?
