My boss tells me it's the JSF maintenance team. Contract is up for renewal.

You'd think they'd be skilled workers with somewhat unique skills that could negotiate their own benefits and pay without the aid of a Union sucking up part of their paychecks..


I thought Unions were for the unskilled and under educated that couldn't market themselves, and paid someone smarter and better looking do it for them..

It would be easier to be sympathetic if they weren't being douche bags this morning, making sailors, government employees, and contractors for other companies late for work.

We are in the same union, but a different company. Other than pay increase they havent done crap. IF anything our health insurance premiums have more than doubled, the rules regarding personal time has gotten ridiculous, and it is impossible for the company to fire worthless idiotic employees. The union was voted in 2 weeks prior to me getting hired, so I cannot say that I voted for them. I do know one of the big campaigner for the union when I first started is probably the most worthless lazy humans I have ever worked with so your comment does seam relevant.

My grandfather was an organizer for the Teamsters from the late 30's to the early 60's. I'll give kudos for the Local as they worked for him, too, and got him a 30 year pension.

My dad was a union man, shop steward, too.

Both if them counseled me against the unions as I was gaining my manhood. Both were disappointed at the way that the Bosses got rich, like the Owners got rich.

My dad was a union president and a representative for the international of AFGWU, he was quite upset after their union had to merge with the Steel Workers and they seemed more interested in who you was going to vote for than anything else.

I think we should join their picket line with signs like..

"I have a JOB and I'm PISSED!!"

"#######s HIRED me!!"

"MY 5 hours of work in an 8 hour day is UN-ACCEPTABLE!!"

"My ATV's, Boat, New house, and BMW are NOT enough!!"

Or at least talk to them to find out if they are actual employees, or people the Union hired to walk the picket for them.. I mean, can't expect primadonna's like them to actully BE outside and protest can we?

Well, from what I've heard, many in the union crossed the line and they have enough qualified mechs to continue with critical program and flights.

I think this is not going to go well for the strikers.

Same here. Is the Navy enforcing the strike or something? Taking orders from the Union to force employees to use gate 3?

Or does the brass fear those union members who enter the gate will get into some mischief on base?

They asked me yesterday and again today. I guess I look shifty, as noone else in our office had been asked.

All LM personnel must enter through gate 3 or lose their base privileges. So I' hear.
