[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 1983423, member: 524"] I work in a large oil refinery that is union. I was a member for many years until the union said " We all need to support Obama" I said count me out and I quit the union. I see the same thing some of you talked about at your work. We have coworkers that have retired but,stay on the payroll . We get tired of that too. Management in the past has fired people for various reasons and the union has gotten some of them back. If management's case is bs or they don't have their ducks in a row ,they lose. Unions are required by law to represent everybody covered by the contract member or not. Some on here have complained about safety at their job. I work in a very dangerous industry. There have been many refinery fires in the news this year. We had a very good worker killed and two good workers fired because of a guy that they should have never hired.Unions over the years have made the workplace a lot safer by striking over safety issues at other sites. I can tell you this ,the refinery I work in is the safest,most productive,and most profitable of the 14 Phillips 66 refineries in the country. I'm glad I work at a union site but,I don't support their politics. I suggest this to people that hate unions. Don't buy union made goods like gasoline,motor oils,LNG,LPG,diesel,or heating oils.
