Are you voting to unionize the company you work for?


Or do you own a company and want to unionize it?



If you are working for someone and want to unionize his company,be prepared to suffer the consequences of doing such a low deed,building a business is no walk in the park,running an established business is the hardest thing you'll ever do,If you think your boss has it easy then you've never run a business,you can lose a $10,000,000 job for being 1 cent too high on your price,most do not give you the chance to lower the price to win the bid,voting to go union could put your boss out of business in a hurry if he doesn't know how to price and sell as a union contractor ,others will beat him out,and he will be forced to let guys go or worse close up all together.

He's the one who had the f*****g balls to go start an electrical contracting firm that just so happens to be providing you with a good living,if you think your pay is too low then go start your own business and you can make what you are really worth.

If you are good you will have unlimited earning potential , if your not good you will bankrupt yourself in a very short time.



If this is your business then by all means become a union company,,after all it is your business that you built on your own,,,Right!

Even worst is the ******s that wont quit putting quotes on something they prefer not to talk about. Or the ones that make jokes on the subject that some who posted want to talk about it.
What we can't take a little joking? You must be a union guy.

I've seen union shops confronted by free traitors, and summarily shut down my entire 40 yr work history

We've seen the crown jewel industries all degrade , along with the small towns they once thrived in, to nothing more than historical artifacts

We've seen entire communities who once had a decent standard of living due to unionization succumb to poverty levels, welfare, drugs, crime

And all along we asked 'why aren't you fighting back' ? of the unions
