Cha Chingly!

I gotta a lot of funny stories...One time my boss asked me to do a job, I told him to go f*** himself. A week later the big boss from Chicago asked my boss why the job wasn't done and I heard my boss say "I told him to do it and he told me to go f*** myself" lol .. I got a big kick out of hearing him explain that to his boss..

Another time my boss told me he needed something done, he told me everyday for 2 weeks and I told him we'd get to it...We never did it, then one day the big boss was in town and asked me why it wasn't done. I said nobody told me to- He was pissed...About ten minutes later my boss pulls up in his car and screams..YOU f***ED ME! YOU f***ED ME!!! YOU f***ED !!! what? YOU f***ED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol I thought he was gonna have a heart attack. Then I see my boss get into the back seat of his car- He thought it was the front seat... lol .. I said "what, do you got a chauffer now boss?" He was bright red...

does anybody actually believe any company would put up with crap like that?

Yes. And it is getting worse.

One time we hung a supervisor up on some plumbling pipes with cargo straps and we put a chair near his feet. He was kicking and screaming "C'mon guys, let me down". We were in the next room and a mechanic walked in the the supervisor says "hey guy, help me down", the mechanic kicked the chair away. lol That same supervisor used to sit in his office in the summer with a big metal industrial fan in his doorway. More than a few times I snuck around it and threw my coffee into the fan on my way out the door.

Good times- The great thing about working in a union shop? You don't have to suck up to the boss- You can just be yourself, and everybody's not pitted against eachother vie'ing for the boss's favor.

So basically you can be a worthless asshole and not worry about getting fired, got it. So in a public union where the ultimate boss is the US taxpayer, we have to pay for the worthless as well as the productive and the worthless has little fear of being fired. What a great cluster f#@k that is.... no wonder we can't compete anymore.

Are Americans supposed to compete with 3rd world wages now? Put an ad in the paper for a job that pays 89 cents a day and see how many applicants you get. The factories left not because we couldn't compete, they left because of NAFTA

The factories left, at least in part, because there were very few productive workers still in the US, thanks to the unions.

You're outta your mind...People here won't for work for $5 a week, but they will in other places and thats where the factories are..You see before NAFTA they could make a shoe in China for $2, while it costs $13 to make here, so when that shoe from China hit American soil we charged them something called a Tarrif, or import tax. In this case it would be $11 per shoe. You see how that evened the the playing field? At one time our government was completly funded by tarriffs...They did'nt have to tax us...NAFTA did away with import taxes..Good for corporations, bad for America...

Understand now?

And once again, you turn on your nieghbor...Your lazy nieghbor is the problem... lol

Now Teabaggers want to privatetise all roads. Why should people be able to move around for free? Someone needs to make money off us when we travel back and fourth to our crappy jobs, right?

NO FREE RIDES!

They also want to abolish all child labor laws and are looking into ways to put Fetus's to work.

Here's another great one..You won't believe it because looking back, I can hardly believe we did it. We'd get arrested now. In 1985 we stuffed a fresh outta college kid supervisor into a big travel kennel and drove him around in an open cart stopping to show everybody the "Ramp Dog" we had in there..Everyone laughed and laughed, and I swear when we let the guy out 15 minutes later he was froathing at the mouth. He had a clostrophopic episode and ran out of there like a carazy guy. Eyes buggin, hair messed up and screaming like woman. He quit shortly after that-

Funniest thing I ever saw
