You know nothing about my personal situation or my protection other than what I've told you.... My job is not secure, that's why I went to midnights and work a part time non-union job during the day, which I like 1000x more than my regular job. If I chose to work a 40 hour week at the part time job I would absolutely make more money than I do at my union job, but I have the freedom to work that job whenever I want....... The only thing that I have at my union job that I don't get at the non-union is insurance, but that's not as good as is sounds. My insurance is about the only thing that keeps me there, but the company went against my contract, changed insurance coverage to something that fucking sucks dick, and guess what my union did about it? Nothing! I even tried to get a lawyer on my own to get something done, but because I'm in a union a lawyer won't touch it. They all said that I need to go to my union and have them take care of it. If I had a contract, without a union, I could get lawyer, and get it changed. We could also walk out and fight to get our insurance back, but the worthless union workers are all stupid fucking potheads who are broke as fuck and their lives would be wrecked if they missed one day of pay. I have no need to go into further detail of my personal life because quite honestly it's not anyone's business.

BTW, I have breaks at my other part time job, and I get treated a million times better, and the quality of people I work with is nothing like all the lazy drunken pothead losers that I'm surrounded with at my union job.... When I get certain things taken care of I'll quit both jobs and move my ass away from here. Until then, I'm in the position I'm in because of stupid choices that I've made, and I'll never blame anyone other than myself for the position I'm in. It's not the union's fault and it certainly isn't the governments fault. That blame is on my shoulders, but I learned my lesson, and I won't make the same mistakes twice. No pain no gain.
