CannonFodder posted:Are they in a "Right to fire anyone at any time as long as they find a good excuse" state? It's called "at will employment" and should not be confused with "right to work." AWE means you can be fired for anything at anytime. Republicans sold this concept with the notion that this frees up both employers and employees so they aren't bound to a contract they don't want, but the reality is employee side was already at will and this just stripped worker protections. Right to work is union busting and means that you cannot be forced to pay union dues. Once again sold with a disingenuous notion that unions are robbing you and people should be able to opt out.

A ton of union workers in my work group working the cushiest, most protected jobs I have ever seen believe this tripe. America is dying of dumb.

I don't mind the way unions work in the building trades. It offers a good way to add skilled labor when you need it without having to carry a full-time employee on permanent payroll, while at the same time permitting you to just send a cancerous individual back to the union hall if they suck. The optimal way is to keep the best of the best on payroll without ever laying them off, but it sure is nice to have the ability to add and subtract labor that has a baseline set of skills whenever you need to.

The Wisconsin Democrats are horribly run. When Walker had his recall election they put up the same guy he had beaten to become governor in the first place.

Plus for us in nuclear, it’s a good way to ensure you’re only allowing certified labor on, which meets all our federal requirements without having to do crazy background checks on everyone who touches our soil. Basically someone to sue.

I'm up for this promotion that would put me on night shift permanently, but give me 4-10s and a 15k promotion. I'm thinking of turning it down because it's non union. Being a union member is the best.

Basically someone to sue. Yeah, the way trade unions handle certification requirements independently from their signatory employers is really clever and incredibly useful. OHSA 30, lead and heavy metal blood testing, pre-approved background checks for schools, nuke plants, various other secure government sites are enormous hassles that I'm glad are already handled for me.

Be proud. Those are real accomplishments that you earned within the framework of your community. It's not a stretch to say that my union has made me a better person.

Oh yeah, what we really need in this country is stronger and more unions, but  at ever getting the narrative changed back to "unions = good" after the century of character assassination and knee capping by conservatives.

I think a lifetime of being shat upon by corporate master has instilled an openness to unions among millennials. Though there is that unreachable group of older folks. For some reason voting for Ronald Reagan led to a lifetime of doing whatever it takes to rationalize that decision.

Tbf, the unions did a good job of knee-capping themselves between the mafia and Teamsters collusion, their inflexibility during the collapse of the steel industry, their entitled behavior in the auto industry, the air traffic controllers' hubris in defying Reagan at the apex of his p olitical power, and the their continued lovely optics in heavy road construction. Still not deserving of the loathing they get from conservatives tho

Well, that and police "unions" that aren't unions at all. You're definitely right that unions haven't done themselves favors, but even still, they're better than not having one at all.

Unions, like many organizations, have a lifecycle and are the most valuable early on. Later in their life cycle they run into a lot more problems because they have to always be pushing for more and those in charge are ever more disconnected from the regular worker. Basically factories in the south desperately need unions and Detroit unions probably need to refresh.

The longer weekend helps so much for getting personal projects done and actually relaxing to some video games all for the cost of sitting at a desk 2 more hours. Hell I'd probably do a 3x12 if I had less responsibilities and stupid meetings

I've worked 4-10s for 8 out of the last 10 years, and while you poor saps get up tomorrow and trudge to work, I get to sleep in and relax. And on Friday, jeans. Muahahahahaha.

Just crack the lid on the crock pot and it'll steam off some liquid. Did you drain the fat after you browned the meat? If not you'll wanna spoon some of that fat off the top before you eat it.
