I agree about the sh!tty unions. At ___ where my dad works, he is constantly under pressure to complete projects on time (as the manager for electrical engineering at his corporation). Then, when the designs go out to be built, they have foremen that their sole job is to make sure that the workers are not working longer than the limits imposed by the unions.
The unions somehow negotiated a large percentage of all jobs must be union. Once, an engineer that worked directly for my dad went out to inspect a project and noticed a set of outlets all wired with the wrong polarity. It was terrible work. So, he started rewiring them himself. It would've taken him about 30 minutes total. However, a foremen noticed what he was doing - and even though he was in charge of the project, the foreman kicked him out and yelled at him saying that the work had to be union. So then, he had to file some papers, get a signature from my dad for work proposal, and turn in a request to repair the job - even before it was finished building! It took the union nearly 3 days to get around to the 30-minute repair job and because of that, the project was 3 days late.
Yea.. I HATE the unions.
I mean.. doctors' union? YGBFKM!
actors' and actresses' union?
GRRR.. and yet, I think there should be some unions where there arent:
Walmart workers union (for the little guys.. the ones that get paid $6 an hour to mop the floors and clean crap up while cashiers are making upwards of $12 an hour)
Best Buy employee's union (maybe to fight for commissions so that the employment quality goes up a little)
