I fucking hated dealing with the union employees. So lazy, bitch about everything, hate doing the job i asked them to do, but if I'd try doing it for them, or just help them because they were getting blown out of the water with work, they'd file a grievance on me. I'm sorry i tried to help, holy shit. I "stole" work/hours.... work and hours that they were too big of pieces of shit to do a lot of the time and hours they wasted by going to take a piss 10 minutes after break just got over. Even when we'd try to give them recognition they complained because the could only have one hot dog, a bag of chips and one pop. I'm sorry we had 300 other employees to feed on that same shift. Finally we just quit doing it because we were sick of hearing their shit when we tried to reward them
That's why i did a lot of paper work and documentation because not even the union could protect them from being fired when I showed up to hearings with a stack of on job observations that showed incompetency, poor work ethic, unsafe acts and refusal to fix discussed problems.
Fuck unions
Oh and Tyler, you honestly think teamsters are the ones paying for your benefits? The company is paying for them, the union isn't paying for shit for you. The union there didn't even get the benefits for the employees to begin with. Your union stewards are the most crooked people you'll meet. They get paid off so often just to keep the supervisors out of trouble. Your pay raises aren't shit really. All the money you pay to the union each month, pretty much goes to the vacation funds of the heads of the teamsters union. They actually wanted me to tell you thanks for the new Benz too. And really, your job security isn't as good as you think, if your supe wants you gone, he/she just has to do some paper work, it's just most are too lazy to do it. I've seen union employees that have been there over 30 years lose their jobs just from some of the paperwork the supervisor did on them.
God I hate unions
