Union Joe. Never met a union he didn’t like.

Kind of like Hunter & cheap hookers.

IN my younger years-—I was forced to belong to 5 different unions...including the UAW & Teamsters.

Had seriously rotten things done to the membership by the
staff’.

WILL NEVER BELONG TO ANOTHER UNION.

BIDEN WANTS EVERY SINGLE JOB IN THE USA TO BE UNION-—EVERY ONE.

I was in the Teamsters when Hoffa was on trial for STEALING OUR PENSION $$$$$$$.

The union ADDED $1 a month to all our dues to PAY FOR HOFFA’S LAWYERS.

Sorta like paying for your spouse’s lawyers in a divorce.

Those workers just took a paycut and they don’t even know it.

Jo Jo is “PROUD” of them. Just in time for LGBTQD Month. How did he know they were all “gay”?

>> Unions are good

Not really. But I don’t GAS regarding the private sector.

It’s the public sector unions that must be outlawed. The taxpayer is not represented in the negotiations.

I agree with you there. Politicians NEVER have the taxpayers best interest in mind. On the left, they represent crappy u joins and graft. On the right, they represent coronet capitalism and graft. The taxpayer gets the shaft.

Despite my general dislike for unions, I feel the collective bargaining is perfectly legit within the private sector — providing there’s no thuggery.

I’ve been self-employed for 40 years working 70 hour weeks on average. The union concept simply runs against my grain.

I have worked with members of your union. All excellent workers and dedicated to their craft. I also believe the union runs some of the best apprentice and training programs in the country.

These are not Apple workers.
These are glorified sales people.
I bet they are going to join SEIU.
Originally “Janitors for Justice” who used the same justification in Silicon Valley.

Only 7% of the US workforce is in union. That is good thing. If Apple “wokster” workers want a union then go for it. I look at Apple as a Chinese manufacturer anyway. It would not be the end of the world.

How are the unionization efforts at the Chicom Apple factories coming along?
