To be blunt, you thru your union chose bigger pay cuts and reduced benefits for more people vs. higher pay and benefits for fewer people.

Like I said earlier -- if you really don't want the increase, then donate it to an organzation like a local boy scout troop or a night shelter for the homeless. Or you could increase your tithing if you're so inclined.

Keep using profanity and slamming people like that, and you may find yourself on vacation from the boards....

Hackman, you're damn communist. That explains a lot.

Wow Onefryer! I've been called a lot of names.... but never a commie!!! Fact is, you don't have a clue about me...... or for that matter, much else.

I thought all your manAAgement training taught you to be a professional? I guess not.

I've seen company bootlickers like yourself twist off for years, and its funny as hell.

Enjoy your 7 day retreat, and seek some stronger meds..... I'll miss you. 🙄 🙄

Uh, where do you think the concept of workers of the world uniting and fighting for equality came from? The Declaration of Independence?

If you're a died in the wool unionist, you're probably more of a socialist than you realize. Go read labor history from the late 1800's and early 1900's, and it's pretty obvious that there were extremely close links between the socialists/communists within the labor unions. That's one of the reasons it is so ironic that labor triggered the collapse of socialism in Poland, which was the beginning of the end of European communism...

Nowhere near as funny as it is for us to watch the unionists twist off and go at each other's throats. That's better than watching mobsters kill each other on the Soprano's.

It's funny that communism is being discussed because it's really the root of the problem within the twu. Read up on the Dies committee or if Decision 04 still has a link to it, maybe he can post it, some twu officers were thrown out of the country because of their commie activity. An old favorite book of mine is Trojan horse of America by Martin Dies, really gives some good insight into the commie theory. The twu constitution which dictates all that goes on within the twu was written by known communists and not much has changed because of the communist structure.

Now I have to disagree with writing socialists/communists like you did. Although we haved been taught to think of the two as one in this country, they are quite different. There are many good points of socialism, I can't say the same about communism. Yes unionism is much a part of socialism but the communist is a seperate issue.

 

[twuer]

That pure BS and you know it!!! You are staying put because you know it is the best place for you regardless of what your opinion of the TWU is. You just want something else to cry about!!!!!! We have proved you wrong and you just can't take it!!!!!


By the way, what % raises are the amfa members getting???? :huh:

 

[eolesen]

Totally agree that socialism and communism are separate concepts. Unfortunately, the lines are blurred in a lot of writing during the 1900-1930's, which makes it a difficult to separate them historically.

 

[TIME FOR CHANGE]

I AM STAYING PUT TO MAKE THEIR LIVES AS MISERABLE AS POSSIBLE WITH JUST MY BEING MISERABLE!

I totally agree

I wish the twu would sell the COLA idea to the company. Then may be we could really get a raise. 😛

Keep up the brain washing boyz. Now repeat after me

Yeah i've been reading up on labor history. I've read "In Transit, The history of the the twu" and I know Red Mike Quill, the founder of the twu was a undercover commiunist. I don't pidgeon hole myself in any one catagory.

You need to read "Comfessions of a Union Buster" and "Hard Landing". Its a frightful trip on how incompentent, ruthless, cunning, and greedy big business really is.

Believe when I tell you the backstabbing and dirty underhanded tactics by management on their own people goes unmatched by any stretch of the imagination when you compare unionists to a big business. By far.....

Its pure BS to a twu believer like you, but then, the truth always is.

How have you proved us wrong? That the twu isn't a company union? What?

AMFA hasn't given in to industry leading concessions with 6000 layoffs.

eeekk!!!, its a twu mouse running for the concession cheese..... 😛h34r:

The sad thing is that when it was run by the Communists the union really did make things better for the workers. Today the TWU is a business union, the only ones that the leaders worry about is themselves. "Members" are merely a commodity to the leaders who are willing to mark our labor rates down in exchange for increasing the volume of dues payers.

Give us back the Communists, the Fascists that we have now are worse!

Well I see unionists on one side and company unionists on the other. Ever notice how the TWU guys and yourself are usually on the same side of the arguement?

That's better than watching mobsters kill each other on the Soprano's.

Well now we know how you get your kicks.
