I thought professional warmonger was?

He had more time than you think. He also had a badass opportunity that beat what the RR had. He was never bitter about the RR or the job he did. Just scumbags like what you sound like. He got one year's salary and had a job paying higher. How do you think he felt?

I love assumptions that show dumbassery.

thats not even possible! the railroad is the best job ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god bless

Yeah, because seniority is so much more important than him being reliable and hard-working.

This piece of shit is nothing but a union drone. Seniority and pay is all they understand. That is why he'll be pushing an engine the rest of his life without going out and seeing just how much his real potential (good or bad) is. That's OK, though. The RR needs drones like him. He makes a decent amount of money for what he does and it makes him feel like he's a top NFL draft pick. I'd say the union did its job.

Yep I knew your pops was bitter. Only reason someone would take a buyout in 1990 is because they didnt or wouldnt have enough senority to hold a job after the merger. No wonder you and your dad hate unions. Remember its not the unions fault your old man didnt hire out sooner.

Jesus Christ, you've got more presumptions than you do brain cells.

Why do you keep bringing up pay? Are you even reading anything on here, or do you just post another union-sucking thread?

BTW, my father took an early buy-out in 1990 and got a higher paying job 4 days later. He's got RR and military paying him these days, though. The biggest problems he had with the union was that it worked harder to keep unproductive people in the workplace and wouldn't let management do its job the way it needed to. Either you understand or are part of the problem.

But haven't you read his posts? If you take out the bloated union salaries, companies wouldn't lower their prices. Don't you know that companies' greed is the only factor driving price?

In that case, the other countries deserve all the work they are getting.

You mean people that understand what unions today are all about. Yes.

There was a time when union labor served a purpose and it was a necessary tool in the workforce, but today it is only used as leverage against employers to squeeze everything it can out of a company, making everything cost more and take America out of the competitive workforce as employers flock to other countries.

Congratulations.

It doesn't but I get tired of all the shit talking. Yall act like union members should be ashamed of themselves because they make a decent wage. The funny thing is the same people that talk the most shit were raised on union incomes.

When did I ever complain about my pay. Im paid damn good and Im proud of the life I provide for my family. Maybe you should tell your mom and dad to stop cashing those railroad retirement checks each month since this bothers you so much. They do away with the unions and he wouldnt get shit. Im sure the railroad and the union provide a damn good life for your dad and family. It couldnt be that bad if he stuck it out to retirement.

Why does every conversation on this topic turn into you telling everyone either to not buy things shipped by rail or to not cash checks from a union shop? You act like either of those things have to do with the discussion at hand.

As I have said a hundred times, I think unions only make sense when the workers they represent are exceptionally skilled and involve jobs where many people can be killed if someone fucks up. I never understand when someone in the airline pilots union insists on calling a grocery store worker their "brother" or some fuck up they work with their "brother". I worked with a lot of people in three different union environments, there were a significant number of them that I wouldn't bother picking up off of the side of the highway, much less call them "brother".
