I think we all should belong to a union.Then it would be fair working for all.I am not against unions but let me say this.I haul into some construction sites some times were its all union workers.If you was laying there burning to death  you better pray because no one will help you.Its not their job title.We was hauling asphalt to a contractor there and the forman of the contrator told us if any one ask what local you belong to tell them you working for us.I got my load off and start around the building a guy stops me and ask who i was.I told him i was hard hearing so could he get close to me he say no.In a second another man came out and said leave him along and he leaves.He look up at me and said  you better leave.I did but what this tells me about unions will stay in my mind.I belong to the teamsters years back when i went to freightliner dealer here and it only broke the man that owned the dealership.I found out that workers at the building site was all from out of state. But TeameterGrrl as for as vaction and pay and insurance you know well that the rest of the non union works help pay for those.And if we was all union then you would not have nothing on us.This job site problem is not the first site that we have problems at.About three years ago we haul for two years off and on to a retirement center being built by union help.There is a man that meets you at the gate and tells you to move over and waite for some one to walk you and your truck to the site.There is a curve half way down and that is as for as he takes you.Now he walks away and you may set for half hour till some one else takes you on it.Meam time you just sit wondering if your going to get unloaded or not.I have alot of liberal freinds but your not one of them.

Where? I've never seen that happen.

It's called affirmative action.

I am a minority and proud of it!    I'm a 37yr old white English speaking male, I graduated high school, have some technical & college type training, enjoy working, and don't wear socks with sandals!    I've done the same work since 2001, I mostly hand unload 11-17 stores a night out of a 53' trl mostly off a lift gate.     I have split   nights off, and yes I like my job!     If that dosent make me a minority I'm not sure what does.

While this thread got off the topic of talking about a modern day hero defending what needs defended from worthless people. I thought this would go good.

I don't get the problem, Obama sends jobs, union jobs out of the country and he is hero for globalization, Trumps stops the exodus of union jobs out of the country and even brings some back and he is bad for the country ?? did I miss something ??? in the entire universe the Muslims are the top dogs in terrorism, they put people in cages and burn them alive, march gays off roof tops, rape women and Obama invites them to this country and it's a great humanitarian gesture, Muslims don't like us, why do they want to come here so badly ??? Trumps stops them and says stay in your own country and lets see if your a bad guy and Trump is some kinda horrible person for not allowing a gay hating, women hating , American hating person into this country, once again what have I missed and why are liberals and the unions against the man that is doing them the most good, are they that stupid ????????????????????????????  teamster turd wake up, your going well beyond sounding stupid
