Explain to me why a person does not have the freedom to think for himself and decide for himself whether he wants to be apart of a union regardless of what the majority think. According to you there is no freedom and its believe what we believe or else you will pay the price. I thought this was America not Russia.
Unions: As American as Apple Pie.
He worked for a Union Shop. He was part of a Union.
The Union went on STRIKE.
He weaked out and crossed.
Your dad is a SCAB.
A Union represents many people. Your dad thought his "needs" were more important than everyone elses. That is not a principle that a Union works on. Quite the opposite. Unions use Unity, Pride and Strength to lift EVERYONE up, not just one. Also important to note is that Unions just don't materialize on a property out of thin air. Companies that have Unions need/deserve the Union. The employees vot the Union in through a Vote
(DEMOCRATIC).
In a room of several hundred or thousands everyone couldn't possibly speak simultaneously to reperesent themselves. That is where a Union comes in handy to "speak" for a membership through votes. Your dad's Union voted
(DEMOCRATIC) YES to a STRIKE. The Union didn't just wake up one day and start one.
Your dad failed to grasp that fact. Your dad is a SCAB. He committed the ultimate selfish act.
Anyway Goober... enjoy FLEX. The chat has been nice. As you get older, you will most doubtably add experiences to your person. You perspective on things may change, it may not. It really doesn't matter to me.
We have a STRONG UNION over here at NJA. We have Brotherhood. If I have a problem, a Brother has my back. I know I have suppot and it feels good... so does my paycheck.
