    Unions can be beneficial to some ?

    We were talking to a man that was in the Porta Potty rental business. He said that his rentals at union job sites are most lucrative for many reasons. The first reason is because at job that would take a regular contractor a couple of days to complete seems to run into at least a several months rental. They would also order double or more units than a non union contractor did. Another thing is that the union site has to have the deluxe units with the sink which is more profit. When the job was finally done and the rental company went to pick up the units there was porno magazines left in many of them and the occasional pillow and or blanket ! He said that when he pumped them out that many were full of more cigarette butts than anything which would suggest that there was a lot of rest time spent in there. The only dislike was that there were times that there would be beer cans in the tank. He laughed because the most popular brand was Bud Light ! !

      The rental guy also said that there didn't seem to be a lot of toilet paper being used which would imply that the Porta-Poopers were used more for napping than #2 functions. He found out that it was better to come to service the units at 5;00 because everyone on the site was long gone ! If the man tried to check them any earlier, they would all be full and he would have to sit and wait and wait for one to become empty. He asked a nearby foreman that was lollygoogling in his truck what was going on in the units and he said " I think they're in there beating off" [whatever that means] ...

              I just seen an advertisement for a union lineman and the starting pay was 49.60 an hour. 95,000 a year. Not a bad payday would you say.

                        In the real world, I know a non-Union linesman that makes more per year than your posted amount.

                              And the cost of living goes up everytime this happens so the citizens are covering the high wages. Thank us, for letting your unions make the cost of living go up so you all can boast! Yep!
