Is there a legal way to keep working through a strike user? I just want my paycheck.
not sure man ive never been part of a union either but i wish you luck.
Leo Stewart
>Is there a legal way to keep working through a strike user? Just keep going to your job? I don't get striking but it's not like those guys can you stop you working. If you're striking do you still get paid? If yes, fucking why? If not, how do you afford to be on strike?

Yeah they have their bass, but for the most part unions are good
Julian Myers
MFW a union worker just wants to take it up the ass from his corporate masters instead of fighting alongside his brothers and sisters.
Pussy.
Evan James
They will either attack you or your property and after the strike get you fired by lying about you.
Evan Cooper
Don't you make 80k working for a union, I have been trying to get into one because non union private companies are jews
Juan Wood
Legal, yes. Smart, no.
You can still show up and work, but expect your car to be destroyed when you go to leave. Also, when the strike is over, you'll be fired. Sad truth of it, but there it is.
Don't you get strike wages with your union?

Look at this retard and laugh everyone. You only getting paid what you do because of the union. And do you have any idea how much those benefits would cost if you had to pay for them privately?
William Jones
>tfw union electrician >tfw when getting paid $1000 to not work thanksgiving and the following day
Im OK with this
Matthew Williams
>not being interdisciplinary >not having under the table side gigs
the reason trades are so good is because they are the most direct route to working for yourself.
Econ 101 user. The people in unions are paid better but everyone else is worse off and unemployment is higher. Instead of paying 2 nigs $12 an hour to fix your sink they pay one $24 while the other one will now rob you

At least your cost of living is lower along with your dollar going farther.

There should be something called an "employers union" where employers get together to set maximum wages and stuff, and negotiate with the labor unions from even footing.
Oh wait.. antitrust laws.
I guess that makes sense because employers' rights aren't valuable right?
Leo Gomez
They're unemployed cause they're black
Hunter Young
How do antitrust laws prevent that? I am a woefully ignorant peasant.
Joseph White
They let a government break up companies that control "too much" of their market, or prevent mergers that would give a single company "too much".
The reasoning is valid: monopolies are bad for an economy.
But they turn a blind eye to the most important monopoly: the unions, which monopolize labor.
Robert Reed
I was fired from my last job because of a union rep making up some bullshit about me so you can take that "brothers and sisters" shit and shove it up your ass
Owen Bailey
Story time?
Adam Ward

go get another job

I really, really wanted to become an electrician, but the union scumbags black balled everyone out during the last recession. You had to have an apprenticeship, therefore you had to be sponsored. And if you weren't a nephew or something you were fucked
Now I live in the northeast corridor and people in NY and Boston say unions up here are basically modern day feudalism/sometimes literal birthright
TL/DR - If you don't compete on the free market, you are nigger-tier. You should move to Tennessee or something, OP. Some user told me unions aren't a mandatory thing there
Benjamin Bailey
That sounds fucked, they shouldn't even have that power though?
Connor Morales

Jeremiah Williams
This. I'm in Cali, some of my coworkers are idiots and want to have a strike but they wanna get rid of the Union. All I want is my check, I'm fine making what I'm making for practically just walking and breathing.
Jackson Martin
I don't know man.
The way they have control over that field in particular is because electricians have to be licensed, I think by each state. And to be eligible for the license you have to have 6 gorillion hours of time as an apprentice, which basically amounts to several years total. You can't just go to college or trade school to do it
The way it went was a builders union would sponsor you, and basically pay you minimum wage in year one as an apprentice, more in year two, and so on until you reach the license wage at the end of year 5. And at the end of that, you got your license and an associates degree, which they also pay for, and you are part of the union. So its a whole big thing.
Its a pretty sweet deal. Its sucks that its so hard to get in. I think HVAC and stuff like that is way easier, because there isn't a lot of union involvement with that
Joseph Robinson
just end all laws that enforce unions let them gather and negotiate tolerate no violence or bs arrest all protestors zip tie and fine keep em in woods until fine paid any questions?
Landon Bell
>tfw never wanted to join a union Then don't join one?
Nathan Young
He probably doesn't have much choice in whatever industry he works in.
Ethan Cox
Don't you go to a college for apprenticeship? Sounds messed up only local companies do, its definitely a conflict of interest
Carson Richardson
OP move to Utah, it's right to work, cost of living is way down from Cali, hardly any niggers outside of Salt Lake City, nice Mormon girl tits to stare at, and jobs aplenty.
Josiah Brown
Alright guys, I was for Hillary first, but now that I've seen the Nazis supporting her like Gaga, I think it's for the best if the Supreme Court confirmed the results. k
John Cooper
Enough, enough, enough! I'm a member of the alt-right and I can't even support this guy getting the nuclear codes. Seriously this has to be reconsidered.
Camden Johnson
You are forced to in some places.
Levi Carter
What other countries have unions anyway, are we the only one?
Kevin Rivera
There was a time when America's voice acting industry HAD to be unionized.
Could not work if you were not. Which is kind of ironic.
Union vs corporate was supposed to be a balancing act. And it was great until Unions started tilting the balance too far in their favor and suddenly they became the corporations...
Lucas Sanders
lol
Zachary Ross
What are service countries are there?
Nicholas Brooks
Membership is mandatory. I don't even understand how this is even a thing.
Levi Smith
My only issue working for the union is some of my coworkers are lazy fucks because they know it's almost impossible to get fired
It promotes lazy and hostility with management so nothing gets done.
Other then that though, unions are great
John Parker
>It promotes lazy and hostility with management so nothing gets done.
Yeah, I hate this part.
Bentley Price
Yes. You would take courses for a few hours on tuesday and thursday nights while you were apprenticing. The union even had a partnership set up with a local university to have the instructors actually come give the classes at one of their sites.
Like I said, it was a huge thing and virtually impossible to get your foot in the door without knowing someone.
