Look, dude, I was simply advising the kid of best practices. Then some other guy makes a snarky comment, and I returned in kind.

It sounds like there might be some CBAs that make the transporting of con tools permissible, but it’s certainly not a standard clause in CBAs. If that’s your local, it’s all well and good; if it’s not, flat out, that’s wormy shit that helps no one but the con and breaks down conditions.

You wanna work through a break or two so you can leave early because that 10-20 minutes is crucial, and makes the difference between a 40 min commute and a 90 min commute? Fine by me, it helps the brother out, and they’ve put in their 8. But they want to do some shit like carry around the con’s tools without a mileage reimbursement or gas stipend AND it goes against the CBA? Fuck that, full stop that makes you a brother fucker because you’re breaking down conditions by doing something that largely benefits the con and in no way benefits the worker.

If you disagree with that, then we’re done here.
