The Teamsters have been on strike since July 1 after rejecting the company’s offer of nine percent raises for all union members over the next two years.

It's been three years since I had any raise at all and I'm damn lucky to still be employed in the O-conomy. These people can take a flying leap at a split part of my anatomy.

I doubt the Phelps ever released a German Shephard against mourners either. Like I said, almost human. Those Teamsters deserve a special place in hades.

They are on strike because they rejected a nine percent raise over two years?

They ought to try a private sector job....

I just got a two perecent raise...which was the maximum....

Don't recall Phelps sorry crew ever stooping so low as to picket a child's funeral, do you?

I know they were scheduled to do the Amish school girls murdered by that POS here in PA a few years back, but they agreed not to when Glenn Beck had them on his show.

Very classy move by Beck.

Yes the Westboro cult made threats to picket the funerals of the children who were murdered in the Nickel Mines Amish School shooting but they were a no-show. They also made threats to picket the funeral of a PA Mennonite family whose 7 children died in a tragic fire.

They also threatened to protest the funeral of a 9 year old victim of the Moore OK tornado.

http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/05/17722-hundreds-of-motorcyclists-guard-funeral-of-9-year-old-tornado-victim-after-westboro-baptists-threaten-protest/

I am not clear as to whether they had the balls to show up or not.

They used to actually show up at a lot of funerals, the funerals of our military service members KIA, and those of “celebrities” or of any funeral including those of innocent children where they might get media attention. They still show up at some places now and then like at rock concerts or movie openings but the back lash against them over protesting at funerals has pretty much shut them down.

Now days, they simply make the threat via the internet. And I don’t think they have enough funds anymore to make all the cross county trips the threaten to make, plus the fact that people in the community and folks like the Patriot Guard come out en mass to counter protest them and keep them far away from the grieving families.

Pretty much true across across all private industry. I got 1.8% because I fell a few points short in my evaluation. Seems I have trouble treating the libtard a**holes in the company with proper respect.

Big decision: Do I want 0.2% less money? Or do I want to kow-tow to scum?

Yup...every one of my (report to) employees got between 1.5 and 2.0 this year and were damn glad to get it...

Union scum, no different than street gangs other than they don’t shoot rival union members by the hundreds. Too bad!

Raise? I had a 5 star performance review and no raise this year. Not to mention spending $1500 per month of after tax income to work at the location that is 900 miles from home. The contract ran out before next was awarded. I’ve been burning vacation since May and taking leave without pay to stretch what remains. The only good news is that I’ve been home with my wife and pups for more than a holiday weekend for the first time since June 2009.

they own the judges.

you get no job without a letter from a precinct captain.

essentially unions have to broken via proverbial baseball bat. The pensions are the sole union power and the members are too stupid to realize.

I should be so lucky!


Is this 'union' based in Detroit?

But what is the FAG connection in this incident?

Welcome to ObaMao's America and hope you find your next gig soon.

My younger brother is in the same situation, just finished his current contract at the end of July. He has enough savings and temp work to get through until the end of the year.

After that, I've told him he can move his family in with me if necessary. We're empty nesters now and have two bedrooms full of stuff which can be disposed of or moved to a storage locker.
