Lately I've been thinking about joining a union.
I'm quite aware of the Conservative, or 'right wing' view of Unions...believe me I've heard it all for years...
But in reality, what I observe is that right wing jargon doesn't pay your bills, or garuntee fair or high pay or benefits, contracts do, not talk radio jargon.
I routinely have to work around those in the Union...and can say they have it much better than non union labor...much much better.
I've seen what happens when wages are left to be determined solely by corporations or shipping companies ect...and that is they always shrink for the labor class, and rise for the management class...every single time...
The workers, those who do the physical labor, their wages always drop...while management and other non essentials pay, always continue to rise...
Now sure, it's the same in Unions to...the higher ups get paid more...but at least the lower downs get a piece of it.
Where as when you work for non union firms or ports, or airports ect...there's absolutely no inscentive for the company to pay the workers more, none...cause they know, expecially in this economy, that if you leave, 100 others will take your place.
So that leaves the lowly worker with nothing to bargan with, and no one to bargan for them.
And I'm sorry, but as you get older you body begins to wear out, you get tired more easily, health issues arise.
And those who work for unions, have all that covered...pensions ect ect..
Those who listen to talk radio and say 'rah rah Rush'...aren't covered or protected by anything...
And when they loose their jobs, Rush and Hannity and Levin, and all the other pretend union hating talk show hosts, certainly don't send checks to their struggling listeners...
What a racket...expecially when they themselves are all in the radio union!!
AFTRA, the Union Rush, Hannity & other talk show hosts belong too.
But yet routinely tell their listeners that Unions are bad...while themselves raking in millions do to conditions and agreements worked out by the unions they're apart of.
Life is short, healthy life is even shorter...and unless one is raking in millions of dollars a year, you have a limited time in which to collect money for your future...
In your, our, waning days, all that talk radio rhetoric about unions being bad and socialist and Democtratically controlled, isn't going to matter...what's going to matter is whether or not you can pay your bills, stay in your home, and cover medical costs...and I garuntee you Rush Limbaugh and Hannity aren't going to give a squat how your doing, as they retire with no less than $40 million...they will have made their fortunes off of your emotions...
They, the rich, those with security in this world, are looking out for self, and maybe it's high time others begin doing the same...
So just maybe, maybe, I'll join a union...we shall see.
