All of the companies I have worked for the last 40 years are still in business. The last company I worked at was making 2 billion dollars a year for profit after paying union wages.

    BBQ Posted: The people you did the repair/ installation work for overpaid because the union needs to turn a profit
    Some people are against unions and for me that's fine but, to belittle someone because they worked for a union to me doesn't make much sense. If I was fine with paying dues to have someone negotiate on my behalf why does anyone else have a problem with that. I mean to be honest it paid off for me

      Because all middlemen add unnecessary cost to the end product or service that the general public pays for whether they believe in unions or not.……that’s what unions do…..middleman strong arming to get what they want.

      To answer the belittling comment ……It would be like someone belittling someone else’s political beliefs. Why does that bother anybody enough to do that? They aren’t affected one bit but find the need to belittle?

      It’s a trick question but hopefully you’ll see the point in it.
      Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

I came to work on time, I worked when I got there, worked OT when needed, I wasn't one to call off work so, I figured out early on I didn't need a college degree. I just needed to work hard and show up to work
          I'm buying that. Gotta give you credit when credit is due. But unions in general suck.

          Some contractor or whatever paying threw the nose for phone repair service. Government or what?
          If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

            Belittling is just another sign of someone who has been defeated. Union dues are for expense that the union acquires. May it be for lobbyist, strike fund, lawyer fees, college funds, Family picnic, etc. Never have I received dividends from the union because they made a profit.

            BBQ have a good night and have a good day at work tomorrow. The grandchildren are getting out of school early tomorrow and the wife and I will be watching them. We will be playing kickball, baseball, and riding dirt bikes. Have you ever seen an old man playing kickball? My neighbor got a good laugh yesterday when they got home from work. I kicked the ball and was running to first base when my grandson threw the ball at me to get me out. I ducked and the ball miss me, but I lost my balance and fell and landed on some landscaping rocks. Everybody got a good laugh from it, even me.
            Haters don't really hate you, in fact they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be.

                      You wouldn’t have ….those luxuries, trips and back door incentives are saved for the bosses and their families.

                      That was above your pay grade.

                        Your kickball story is a lot like your 4m story….everybody gets a good laugh.

                        Hope you didn’t hurt yourself or the landscaping rocks…..congrats on the grandkid time.

                            BBQ you keep bringing up that top brass gets those type of benefits and any reason why they shouldn't. It's no different than a CEO of a company having 3 houses a Yacht and a Private Jet. That' the way it works.

                              Like I said they must not have minded that they had to pay more. They could have had another phone company do their work but, they didn't.

                              Like I said it's all different now with VOIP. Most companies now do it through their own IT employee's

                                Because the union isn’t a business and isn’t designed to turn a profit……those words were from you and SS.

                                CEO/Owner of a company takes most of the risks and should reap a higher percentage of the reward…..the union boss assumes zero risk and is supposedly there for your benefit.

                                Big differences there if you really believe what you’re saying about the union not being a broken, corrupt,unnecessary business.
