GreenGiant2 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I haven't seen any polling of Temasters since the last presidential election, but I've seen recent polling that shows the majority of union members supporting Obama and his reelection.i think the polls are showing it, just look at what wisconsin wants to do, i think more states should do the same. then thing may start to change. give the power to the people and not just a person.gg2 1 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

slpwlker Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Look at what the unions have done to Gm. At 1 point in time you needed them. That time has come and gone. Do like Wi and some of these other states have done or are trying and let the Economy fix it self. Look at pro sports, look at teachers unions. You can't fire them. And there are alot that need to be fired. or put in jail. I guess coming from a right to work state I look at it differently. Never been union and have no intentions of going that route. What do police and fire need them for. There jobs are safe as they are needed.

David Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thats OK being in the minority, as long as you have the right to your own judgements an beleifs as a person,an not be influenced by someone who tells you who you should vote for? I voted for who I believed was the right person for Pres. and in this case. I thought Obama was not qualified for the job. I voted like I was going to hire the guy; So I looked at both of there resume, an Obama wasn't showin me to much of any thing! so I tossed his in the trash, an voted for J.M the war hero. Ok now.... almost three years later; an now we have a track record to to see how well Mr. Obama has done? Who's in the minority now?? Sorry Teamster Brother, but your in the minority on this one.

41chevy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Our local combined dealer, Mack,Pete and Volvo( used to have K.W. til last week) is now an adventure. Went to buy some filters. I walked out with nothing. But actually enjoyed the time wasted.The "highly trained parts marketing proffessional" was to busy texting and had to ask 4 times what it was I wanted. As I was leaving the "service dept greeter" told me to come back soon. Only when I need a good laugh I said.
