We have the virtual time studies, I've requested over and over a manual time study and they say they won't do it anymore. We have the GPS on the boards too so they know exactly where we are at all times.

How many think ALL unions should be dissolved? Meaning no unions at all in USA.
If it really bothers you about scratching or not, just tell them to come ride with you or lock you in. That has stopped allot of the current harassment about over/under. If I got locked in, id have to slow down at least an hour and drop my spors a couple stops per hour. Remember there are over 340 methods we should be following every day.:biggrin:
I've thought long and hard about a civil response, but here's the deal. I have a long term plan for my retirement. I know approximately when I want to retire. My spouse and I have calculated what are expenses will be during retirement, when to pay off our house, how to get our kids through college etc.,, base on our estimated retirement income. I work hard for my govt pension. A calculation that was determined by those officials elected to represent the citizens of the state. I don't see those member of the legislature or elected officials taking a hit to their pensions and health care. So why do any of you think it's okay to take a jab at me for an agreement I made for the salary, pension and health care with the state that I work hard for? Whether you work for the state or a private company, if you don't like the salary, pension and health care of the job you're working, then you need to figure out a new plan to fulfill your long term goals. It is your responsibility to figure out your own long term goals, not mine. This great country affords you the opportunity to reach as far as you want to go, but my asparations (sp?) stop at me fulfilling my responsibility as a state worker and hoping that the state will keep its end of the agreement when I plan to retire.

and you might even see a worker out working past 3pm..........
This should definitely be in the political forum IMO.
And to answer your question, CA plans to borrow the money from the Federal Government, who in turn plans to borrow the money from China. So make sure you guys keep buying Chinese! It's more beneficial to us than buying American these days...in a roundabout sort of way :biggrin:
Ive been in the UAW for 11 yrs and have seen the pros and cons of being a Union worker. Yes they spend alot of time protecting people that should not be protected. But if not for the Union, I wouldnt recieve the wages or benefits that afford me and my family the lifestyle we live. There is not one company out there that looks out for its workers believe it or not. I am not overcompensated in my pay or my benefits. I wish everyone could have what I have. But with all the Union busting going on, I'm afraid this great job that I have will be short lived. I dont understand how the working man can bash Unions. Do you not want better benefits or better pay? These are things that my Union have negotiated for me and that I enjoy. Sorry I dont know much about the public sector and can offer no info on that. But I will leave you with this. My company has been laying off hourly people here and there for the last few years. Those Union workers knew who they where and when they would be laid off months ahead of time so they could be prepared when the time came. I cant say that for the 150 non union salaried personnel who came in one morning and got kicked to the curb with no notice at all. My question is who would you have rather been. I know who i would.

i believe they call that shirking the work and you wonder why society has a bad taste for unions.
I am one, that thinks goverment work should be out sourced.. Private companys should have the right to bid on jobs, Such as Grading county roads.. I Would bet you if this would happen the roads would be smooth as glass,,, and you might even see a worker out working past 3pm..........
political ? i cant help all the answers are .. no one here has yet to give the right answer . and yes unions are ponzi scams .
Hey killer, I went back and reread your opening post and I'll be damned if I saw a question mark anywhere. If you want specific answer's you should try composing a specific question. Not that it's gonna get you what you're lookin for anyhow.
Without offering my any of my own opinions on unions, you're right. This thread isn't the "honest question" the OP claims it is, its a poorly disguised way to antagonize union supporters and it shouldn't be in a "Place for off topic relaxed discussions * No political or religious threads *"
