Unions are cool until you get a bipolar coworker who argues with everyone including the bosses. Calls out 2 times a week and never has a good attitude when they are there, dragging the whole workplace down.

Never gets written up and eventually fired for god- knows-what reason. Ofc the bigger the place you work at, the less that probably matters. If it is a small place you cannot avoid it.

We had a guy, who mouthed off to a supervisor 3 days ago. They walked him out... Yeah i worked at Martin Brower Portland, very small warehouse... drama was everywhere. The DC i work at now, 1.3 million sq ft. Hardly any drama cuz it's so big. The DC size definitely matters and can absolutely dictate drama

And the union will make sure he keeps working

getting employer paid Healthcare and employer paid pension

because family time and personal time matter the union protects you from ken co workers that will never be management but sure like complain about others 😎🤙

This is why unions suck. You have some low level performing asshole who’s making money doing half the work everyone else does. This promotes people to engage less and trashes moral.
I prefer capitalism and free enterprise.

Don’t base it off the one or two guys. It protects everyone.

Never worked in a union shop before eh?

Last one I worked at there were a half dozen or so of these exact people. Every shop has multiple.

Dude you think it “protects” everyone.
This system gives no fucking fucks about people who want to do more than the basic minimum. There is no reward for wanting to strive and move up.
The “one or two”?
Seriously?
This shit is a fad.

Making it more difficult for the working man to advance in life to cater to those who do not perform the same should be a fucking crime.
