NJA size

He has nothing to do with it. I was stirred up about this the minute the company announced it.



Of course I enjoy all of that when I'm at work. But make no mistake, this is how I make my living. Blue sky and travel don't pay my bills, and companionship doesn't fund my retirement.

if NJA gets priced out of the marketplace, you won't be able to pay your bills and fund your retirement, it seems to me. Unions create the sclerotic businesses they then blame management for.

Posted by me: So you are OK with unilateral changes to your hard earned money without your agreed upon say in the matter?

Response by G4: Yes. It seems small beer compared to how good the job is.

Really? What more can be said? You can lead a pilot to the promised land but you can't make him think...

BTW...I've immortalized your quote below...I have to say that is a classic! Scope...It ain't your daddy's mouthwash...

if I represent myself, and you represent yourself, then 100% of your and my choices are presented to the company. Much better than a union, in my opinion.

You said it right here. This is the problem with your philosophy. and you are dumb enough to come on here and say this crap

"Yes. It seems small beer compared to how good the job is."

Does he really not understand that many of the things that make the job good for him cost the company money? They would cut those costs in a heartbeat if they could. If the majority were like G4, it would not be such a good job.

Starting with the 401(k) match altogether, just like the company did with the non-union employees.

I have to admit, this is a lively conversation. Which is good. I would like to point out, in the US union membership is VERY low, especially among non government workers. The reason is, Americans don't like unions and their philosophy of envy and zero sum thinking and coercion and intimidation and groupthink.

The problem with my philosophy is my philosophy?

 

[fischman]

I'm so ashamed. How could I be so callous and cold and mean?

Because you are being paid to be.

Someone is not getting their money's worth in my opinion.

He's going to have to "step up" the sophistication of his tactics if he hopes to convince a modicum of our membership to abandon our union.

Oh my God, I have been found out. I am a Spy.
