I once had a good friend and we hung out a lot. I worked at a GMAD plant for two Summers years ago. I got him a job there and times were good. Excellent pay and very low expenses meant lots of partying.
My father was in management at GM but my friend bought into all the crap the UAW was peddling. He walked the pickets and developed a "Screw Management, I want more! Workers unite!" mentality.
He was like this up to the very day they closed the plant. I had since moved on to greener fields but he spent years there...spouting Union BS and getting sucked down into the drug culture that was rampant at the place.
Haven't seen or heard from him since. I've kept tabs on his ex-wife and hear tidbits. I believe the Union mentality had a large hand in trashing his life.
“I believe the Union mentality had a large hand in trashing his life.”
Unfortunately....I think this is the rule rather than the exception....
You can’t cure a born Gimmie.
