I can tell youz dudes ain't never been, sat, or discussed upper union biz whore da difference between da shop steward and da vice prez. By no meanz am I defenden bad runnen unionz. Lord knowz dare been a few. But, like any organized structered groups wih an agenda to represent utters. Dare are sum different rules and bilawz dat have 2 bee recunized. Like da UAW and da medical wurkers union. To bee whore not 2 bee. Wurkers choice 2 vote on it. UAW wurkerzs voted not 2 limit dare strike ass da medical wurkers put limits on theirs. I was a membeer of 3 different unionz and da were all differant. Sew letz snot bee readen beetween da linz.
Story. I wurked 4 a cumpany out of Cleveland, Tenn whom da carpenturds wanted to be unionized. They has dare ralliezs 2 vote union and I had my reasuns not. Da gov got involved like day shud 2 make da voten legal. Wit no threats whore attributes towardz utters, cheaten. Witch dare waz. The union 2 bee voted in was carpendurez. I was an asbestos wurker. No ass best us involved. Dat meanz I would have 2 join da carpendurez union. I am not a carpenture. Sew da whole cumpany wood be union. Been educated in bizness law I waz 2 repreesent da non union side of facts. All da trades groin union wood mean all trades would be represented by their trades. In turn, we would all luze our jobs to an established on da bench, 2 say. Member of dat trade. I wood looze my job 2 an asstablished out of wurk member of the assbestus wurkers union. Their local waz, or is, in Knoxville. I lived in Chattanooga, a 115 miles away. 2 join da union, I wood have 2 spend 4 ears apprentashit, go to school at da local, bee told what 2 do by sum 1 that did not have ass many ears in da trade as I. Pay would be 1/2, pay duez, travel, go 2 school non pay. For what? 2 get fired by da local whore sit on da bench, laid off, and get paid 1/3 rd of regular pay. 1/2 bi 1/3 is nuttin fer pay. Then travel 2 Knoxville, dues, no pay, ect. Nope. 8 earz ago da same union, but local 69 out of Tampa, Fl, asked me 2 do da same. But, hired in ass a mechanic, top pay, chiller instructurd to da apprentices, all benefits. I wurked 1 day and quit. Job sucked. I waz asked 2 cum back any time. Nope.
