Sorry man I thought you were in Florida for some reason. But yeah if a union affords good workers protection why would you be against hiring good workers? And as far as prevailing wage jobs, they are bid accordingly you make more money your workers make more money so it 's not like if you bid low you're not making a nice chunk of change for yourself. :shrug: Do you post performance bonds on your jobs?

I'm not against hiring good workers.  I just don't think union workers are better and they are definitely whinier.  And then there is the issue of the fact that I'd also be paying union bureaucrats and funding their political contributions to scumbags.  Nah.

No.  I do new residential construction and remodeling.  Some small commercial occasionally.  I looked into government shit a while ago.  No fucking thanks.  It's fucking ridiculous.  Just as an FYI I won't do big commercial either.  Because they are done by a bunch of Donald Trumps who demand shit and then declare bankruptcy.  He has fucked more people than Bernie Madoff.  At least Madoff only fucked people who willingly handed their money to him.  I wouldn't piss on Trump if he was on fire.

I have to bid for all my jobs

When you aren't goofing off like today.

With trump's billions, he is doing much better than you.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

But, in case you weren't aware, that's how the real world works.

In a unionized environment you have rights..  I've yelled and sworn at my supervisor and I didn't get so much as a warning :shrug: the only reasons you guys are giving to be anti union are: paying dues, getting out of work/ not having to work

I don't need a Union because I'm not a slacker.

Everyone I know who is union does it because they can slack off on the job and get paid way more than they are worth.

So you'd rather do more work for less money?  I don't see the logic

That's deplorable! You should've been fired on the spot.

Why do you assume anyone has a problem with dues? You kinda just pulled that one out of your ass.

Fuck it, let's all smoke crack and get welfare checks!

I'd rather be honest yeah. 

Its a matter of work ethnic.

Most people have terrible and inconsistent ethics,  that's why there are unions.

I never had an apprentice program and I am a master carpenter.  Business owners do not get to work a 40 hour week.  They don't get time and a half either.  They don't get paid leave or paid vacations.  They take risks and usually get rewarded but sometimes they fuck up a bid and have to work for nothing.  Nothing, in case you didn't know,  is less than minimum wage.

If you don't like the terms of employment with me you are quite welcome to fuck off back to the pub.  I'll get somebody else.




congratulations.  you must have had a skilled guy teaching you.  I am a journeyman plumber, and i also didn't go through a union apprenticeship.  I got lucky to have a very skilled plumber teaching me the trade.  Not everyone is so lucky.  Here in L.A. it seems like more than half of the "plumbers" are being taught to do shit wrong.  They don't know the difference between a vent 90, and a medium sweep 90.  i see guys hook up drains with no fall. etc.  That wouldn't happen if they were union guys.  just sayin.  Also, i know its possible to underbid a job and end up in the red, because i've done it.  But i learned from it, and i have a feeling that you don't do that to yourself too often.(you seem like a savvy guy).  i would bet that most of the time, you as the owner, collect the lions share of the dough.(even after paying a decent wage and all the insurance expenses etc.)
Finally, i've seen you say that youre a master carpenter, but i don't know what that means.  For all i know, you are a "master" framer or something.  hell, framing is like laying carpet(a monkey could learn the trade in 6 months).  Then again, you could be a finish carpenter or a cabinet maker, which would require a respectable amount of skill.  I prefer to assume the latter, because most of the framers i know are dumber than a box of rocks.

So that one person's argument applies to all of us? What are union dues? $20? How cheap do you think we are?

Trump is a serial bankrupt who was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.  Guess how many times my companies have filed for bankruptcy.  Trump has probably fucked more people than Madoff.

When I had my book in the heavy equipment operators union dues were 45$ every quarter. I could kick myself for dropping my card but I started doing new constructions and remodeling and made bank for a few years.
