I am all for competitive business and fair business....and i think unions are not good for business.

In my youngest days out of college, i have worked union for a publically traded EPIC company. The bottom line, i was hired to do a job.....if i didn't do it above and beyond what the company expected....they should have run me. But, that is how i am programmed....work my tail off and don't need to hide nor pay for "protection" for a job. If i don't like it, i move on.

I can say because it was a Phillipino crew. The Phillipino consulate has made a press release. And if you tell me that language barriers are not an added risk to whatever you may do for a living, i encourage you to go work in Corpus or Brownsville TX for a month and then come talk to me. Let me know how well you comprehend the Spanish version of the site orientation or the safety video.

Bottom Line on the Language barrier. I worked as structural fitter for 14 years probably 10 of or more I had Spanish Speaking workers around/with me. If I had to tell one that what they were about to do was unsafe/not productive, dangerous..... I could get my point across. I chose to learn some Spanish so that I could communicate with my helpers and make it easy on myself.

Anyone that thinks there is a need for a union nowadays is an idiot. Unions were important back in the early 1900's when there were no labor laws. Employers could work a man as many hours as they wanted to and could reduce wages at will. If you don't believe it I suggest you watch the documentary called "The Men Who Made America" - now those were some ruthless SOBs. These days a union man will just as quickly tell you that "it's not my job" and continue to sit on his azz. Now these dumb azzes wonder why they are out of a job. Look what happened to those idiots up in Detroit all while southern auto manufacturers thrive and their employees prosper. I have no use for unions - their time has long since past.

Here is another example - all the volunteers from Texas and elsewhere who went up to Jersey and NY to help with the hurricane - guess what, they can't work because the unions are protesting their non-union presence. What a bunch of idiots.

I'm a SR measurement specialist

And if I lost my job I could guide full-time and still make over 100k a year doing that ...

But since I have 13 years in my trade I could just about pick were I want to work any day of the week

I have had no less than 5-7 job offers a year

So y'all do know only 11.8 of the American workforce is Union right. Well that may go up after Wall-mart employees get done.
