Unions Wednesday, Mar 23, 2005 6:28 pm

I have another gripe:  unions.  It was a good idea in the beginning.  Protect workers' rights and stuff like that, but I think it's changed a bit.  Just look at the news.  Union bus drivers in NYC went on strike for some reason, so hundreds of thousands of people that work in the area were without transportation all because some stupid people were unhappy with their working conditions.  Or look at the NHL:  the multimillionaire players couldn't agree on a salary cap, so the entire season was canceled.  Or how about the ultra-fascist teachers union.  In order to work at a school, you must be part of the union.  But union rights don't apply to everyone in the union.  Teachers have the whole summer off.  Secretaries and administrators do not.  However, if there's a contract dispute or anything like that, everyone is involved, not just the affected parties.  There was also a union at Schering-Plough.  It was so stupid that I couldn't unscrew something in the plant because I'd be violating the unionworkers' contract.  I mean, this is ridiculous.  It's obviously gone too far.  To solve the problem, I'd like to start a company of a bunch of normal people who are willing to work for a living, and have them apply for a bunch of jobs as soon as stupid union people go on strike.  Like the bus driver example, I'd restaff the whole crew of people that were on strike and hire a bunch of hardworking people.  That's really what it comes down to.  Many people in unions just don't want to work some long ours and stuff like that.  Welcome to the real world, idiots.  While you hide under the protection of your stupid little union, everyone else on earth works for a living, sometimes working long hours and making less than they should.  That's how life works.  So if anyone wants to join my anti-union, let me know.
