    A lifelong union guy telling a business owner how business works, lmao…..I’m familiar with those scenarios kid, I watch lifestyles of the rich and famous too.

    Regardless of any of it, sounds like we all are doing ok we just took different paths to get where we wanted to be……I just hit 59 1/2 years old which means I can now get at some savings /investments without getting whacked or penalized so in essence I guess my pension just kicked in and I can be on easy street like you guys from now on.

    My dad had me selling watermelons on the side of the road when I was 9 to make money for my first surfboard…..I’ve worked in the same industry since I was 23 right out of college and have owned a small side business with my wife and kids for the last 15 years….I’m familiar with hard work and how business works.
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

      Generally speaking, most everything ss12 posts backfires, one way or another. Like I said, he’s not very good at this game, or kickball for that matter.

          I don’t think it’s aired in like 20 years or something like that……I’m sure you watched it unknowingly back in the day on one of your bi-hourly breaks in the company break room,lol.

          Sounds like we are all doing ok, everyone can be thankful for that considering what kind of shape the world is in these days.

            Hard working business owners are doing ok, just not as great when DJT was the president!

            Facts are facts, when will the union members step up and fire the idiot boss in the White House?

              Probably after they get back from break……unless it’s close to pre lunch break.
              Then it will probably be at the mid afternoon break.

                True story........when I started my first business in 2000 i picked up a customer who informed me, he was retired from our local electric company (which paid very well), that he now works for the Teamsters down on the docks. He proceeded to tell me that he made $28/hr to ride around on a golf cart and fill up the three water coolers on the dock. He said it took about 3 hours, and his words...."i f'ed around the other 5, because i knew the union wouldnt mess with me"!

                And they wonder why!!!

                  Record profits for some businesses so, if it's record profit for some wouldn't you they are doing better than under Trump. I'm not saying they didn't do good under Trump but, if it's record profit for 2022 you just might have to Give Joe some credit here at least for those companies but, I realize you're not programmed buy the media you watch to give Joe any credit.

                    BBQ 3 breaks 2 - 15 minute and one 30 minute. The only ones that mainly took those breaks was the old timers for them it was like clock work but, for us guys that was younger we never cared about breaks. Did we take breaks sometimes yes we did but, if you've been in the steam tunnels terminating either copper or fiber for a couple of hours you wanted to take a break from the heat.

                      So he worked for the union or was an employee of a company who had a contract with the union?

                          I'm trying to figure out what the Rat's trying to say. It's up to the company to provide you work. The union has nothing to do with that part. Why would the union mess with him. They would have no reason. Again the union doesn't provide the work.

                                Bro, this isn’t third grade civics…….we all got it. You’re just trying to drive something in a different direction.

                                If I can clarify I’m guessing he meant his bosses couldn’t eff with him because of union protection…..but you knew that already.
