Yeah, my union blue collar friends have a retirement, the non-union ones not so much, hourly pay is massively different in trades like sheet metal workers, etc.
Unions were hard won on the blood of workers. Every OSHA safety regulation the boss complains about costing him money has worker blood on it. It’s like electrical code, you may not like it, but adherence to it provides a market standard.
Workers made American industry great, not grifter CEOs who pretend to speak engineering, and don’t you forget it.
Your grandchildren called me the other day, by the way, so spare me the folksy veneer on anti-Americanism disguised as a work ethic.
No union? No way, Jose!
