DAmn right, unions are garbage. Get a real job and protect yourself. The reason the auto industry is in such shambles...UNIONS.

Garbage employee's can bite me.

Something you may have overlooked is that in many areas garbage men are the same people that drive the snow removal trucks. In NYC they use garbage trucks to carry the snow to the river. That doesn't change your situation but it could be an explanation.

All for a part time warehouse job, 20 hours a week. I'd hardly classify myself as fat and lazy though. I get up early and work pretty hard. I'm trim and in way better shape than any of the flabby soft office people I know.

Yes and you UPS guys can ship a item in 2 days versus some other shipping companies I know.

The Union doesn't design those lousy cars and they don't run the companies into the ground that's management.

You're right, damn JAW! Oh wait, you mean UAW, doesn't matter that almost every autoworker in Japan is unionized, where most of their manufacturing takes place (I hate to break it to those who harp "... but they have factories here!" Yeah, they do, but even if you add every single one of them up, they still have less than half of what the smallest member of the big three have. The auto industry is in such shambles because people don't want to spend money. The big three are in shambles because of how poorly they've been run. Ford is the prime example, because they started restructuring and redoing their line much earlier than the other two. Who actually asked for a loan and who just said "just in case?"

Usually the garbage truck is contracted by the city. I doubt they are even union but what does that have to do with you living in a shitty city. 3 weeks without garbage pickkup LOL. Are you in Iraq?

Yes, who pays the bills? Do you pay them directly? Does your Homeowners Association pay them? Does your city pay them? Did this payment get delayed for any reason (city ran out of money, etc...)? That would explain this...

I'm in a union right now as well, and what is sad is that many of these people are incredibly hard working, but the union prevents them from getting work done more efficiently and earning more money in the process.

Unions are a blight on this country.

They do however raise the cost of doing business, meaning more attention is spent on employees than on the cars.

The Big Three aren't a charity foundation, yet the unions consistently treated them as such.

UPS wouldn't even come down my road. My Secret Santa gift came when the UPS driver parked at the end of my street and walked his ass 2 blocks to my house :cool: I saw him walking away and found the package on my porch later. I shoulda tipped the guy.

Anyhow, the garbage truck got stuck in front of my house in the snow and ice on Friday. It took him 10 minutes to turn around and get out and that was with chains.

If you don't like Unions and what they've done for the Working Class in this country, imagine wht it would be like working 7 days a week.
That's right... Saturday and Sunday ( as "non work " days) are brought to you by UNIONS.

You goddamned kids , think you know everything, you don't know shit.

Nah...REALITY is that CORPORATIONS are the worst thing to happen to the working class of America. Unions just give the working people some leverage in bargaining with them.

You realize that all cars on the face of this planet are created equally as shitty as the next.

We used to need unions. We don't anymore. In fact, the UAW is what brought GM down. Unions need to be kicked to the curb.

No...bad business decisions are what brought GM down...and unions are still in need today, just as they were 100 years ago.
