Yeah, if you live in China.

It isn't 1920, and there are many laws to protect people. If people are dumb and let someone take advantage of them I could care less. They deserve it. Unions served a purpose once, but they don't now.
Unions can be good, but 95% of the time they're complete shit. I'm part of a union and I don't like it. My union protects all the lazy fucking drunks and potheads who get high at work and do nothing. The other guys who don't get high sleep half of their day. Do these lazy fucking pieces of shit deserve a decent job making a solid paycheck and great insurance? Hell no, but the union protects them and creates an us against them mentality that makes me want to vomit. I have been fucked over numerous times by my union. I would go into detail, but the important thing is my union cost me nearly $10,000 this year.

And on top of that they take $50 a month from my ass.
If I didn't have a union my employer could get rid of all the losers and I could get a raise. I'm limited to my contract right now. What's bullshit is there aren't 6 guys combined that I work with who can produce like me, but I can't make any more cash than the lazy fuckstains that I work with. I could go on and on about how much I hate unions, but I don't feel like typing out that much shit because it's just gonna piss me off. Once I get some bills squared away I will quit and get a job where there isn't a union. This is my one and only union job. I'll never do it again.
