no, the entitlement part comes when you believe that you own segments of work...that you don't have to compete....then the picketing...

Its not one man dictating, its many men, collaborating. Which is worse? Many electricians here collaborating to raise the wage, or the business roundtable collaborating to send the good jobs overseas?
You cons get upset by the union, but I know you're more upset by some punk doing a service change for $900.

And then the next generation thinks they're entitled to the same pay as you, but without all that hard work.

This thread will end badly and very fast I predict

You may call me a rat or a "right wing nut case" but that still doesn't change the fact that you have your head up your ass
This is something new; pre-emptive insults ! It sets the tone of any response !

Great. I'm looking forward to getting a piece.
My bud says I should hit up the tnaboard. But I've never paid for it in homeport, so it would be awkward.

In this order.
1) Union
2) Non-Union
3) People doing service changes for less money than number (2).

The big difference is I get stupid junk mail from Union Plus Credit Card once a month. They can't take a hint that I don't want the stupid card.
