[QUOTE="SDarkRage, post: 1470972, member: 3492"] Not all of us Gov't emps are union nuts. Some of us still value hard work and doing a good job. But I'm also a wage grade and not in mngmt (I speak my mind and make people feel bad for not doing their job so I'll never get promoted). At Tinker, 90% of the people that are in the Union, joined because they got into some kind of trouble out there and believe the union can save them. I'm happy that the union finally got a back bone out there and stopped defending the drug users. They won't even represent them anymore. We had a supervisor selling pot and pain killers... .gov investigated him then fired him. Union refused to represent, he tried to sue them for it. That didn't go anywhere thankfully. My ex-work leader is a Union lackey and she was griping at me one day for not joining the union since everybody else in the shop had... I asked her if I joined, who was going to do all the work? :respect: I finally got the transfer I'd been asking for. I'm not pro or anti- union (for the most part), but for the life of me I can't figure out what good our union is at Tinker. They can't strike or demonstrate, nor bargain for wages. That takes all the sting out of the union. So whats the point besides somebody is making a lot of money at $1 per hour off of 10,000 or so employees. Thats a lotta demp. [/QUOTE]
