What union?
Unions seem like the best gigs if you live in a city with a lot of big commercial or public infrastructure jobs.
It also seems like union workers of all trades are basically just glorified laborers. Take the union's approach to concrete work for example. You have 'carpenters' for the forms, 'ironworkers' for the steel and 'cement finishers' for the finishing of the concrete. All of these guys are only skilled in one part of the process and that one skill is really pretty narrow. Like can you really call yourself a carpenter if all you can do is set forms? An experienced non-union concrete worker can usually do all 3 of those things.
Or what about electricians? Half of the union electricians wouldn't even know how to wire a 3-way switch because all they do is bend conduit and pull wires. Are they really electricians or just laborers?';

I mean even cement finishers it's sometimes a stretch to call them that because like for instance the guys that do the freeways out of concrete just get those huge machines to do the finishing for them
yet we still call those people cement finishers
union labor is kind of a joke, it's hard to imagine that they get paid so much';

I think unions are necessary to protect the common working man but, Jesus some of the work I've seen union workers do is atrocious. Not even so much a job being lazily done as "what the fuck are you smoking?" Kind of work';
'>>2787747
can't wait till they make unions illegal
unions were useful in the past to initiate worker's rights movement, but now all it does is protect shitty lazy workers and needs to go away
if you don't want to work for your wage then you deserve to waste away and die in the streets';
