Years ago I worked in a distillery that was unionized. Like Sixate says,the place was filled with useless fuckbags that did nothing but get drunk all day and sleep.

The frustrating thing for me and others was that we actually had some pride in what we were doing, and wanted to be a viable part of the production.

The owners were not against us. They, like the rest of us who showed up and worked, wanted the union disbanded,not to fuck over those of us who wanted to work,but to lose the deadweight and push production to its maximum.

The owners were prepared to offer the same benefits and pay.There was a waiting list of hundreds of people dying to get a job there. The company was also offering incentives for meeting production quotas.This wasn't to be slave driven and dictated by the owners but rather by the employees .Ever here of sport stars getting incentives to surpass a quota? Same thing.

Unfortunately the union said it would strike.The owners said go ahead,we'll close down shop and go back to Puerto Rico. They didn't because they felt indebted to Canada for taking them in when Castro kicked them out of Cuba and stole all they had.In the end all the grade 6 educated fuckbags got their way and continued to earn $50,000 a year for their lack of effort.

I left shortly after since the environment and the union was turning a negative person into me.That was almost 15 years ago.I work in a couple of different areas now,mainly in a consulting role when my main gig is taking a break.In my experiences,the most creative,positive people who want to make a difference and contol there destiny never get anywhere near a union.
