4588686 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 [quote name='CatherineM' timestamp='1332536224' post='2406525'] Union presidents always get invited when he comes to town. I have no idea why he picked Cushing, Oklahoma for a visit. It's possible that is the only city in Oklahoma that voted for him in the last election. I think the funniest part was my nephew was the one who told me. He said he saw a familiar bald spot in the TV coverage of Obama's visit. I'm glad that is the one thing I don't take after my dad, the baldness. [/quote] At any point did Obama excuse himself for noon prayers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Of course, the UPS union did save my uncle's job. After 20 years of driving with a perfect record he did not write up a report when one of his tires ran over the corner of someone's flower garden. He got fired for it. The union got his job back.

r2Dtoo Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well obviously. Why didn't he write up a report? Because he didn't want to get in trouble for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Something similar happened with my dad. He almost lost his job and the Teamsters helped him keep it. In his case he had caught his supervisor stealing parts from the garage and selling them. I understand the confrontation included a tire chain.

arfink Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Lunch with Obama ==> fighting with chains. Interesting bit of flamebait this. On the topic of lunch with Obama: I bet it was a darn tasty lunch. Those Feds really know how to chow. On the topic of unions: it's important to have good unions. We mostly seem to have bad ones these days. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 [quote name='CatherineM' timestamp='1332536224' post='2406525'] I have no idea why he picked Cushing, Oklahoma for a visit. [/quote] It's because he partially reversed himself on the Keystone XL project. Earlier he got flack for his administration's not approving it, but he decided to "fast-track" the southern portion, because apparently Cushing is a major storage hub and apparently there apparently is no way to get the "bottlenecked" oil out of Cushing fast enough to refineries.

r2Dtoo Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Aloysius' timestamp='1332543335' post='2406627'] wow. methinks I smell a troll, actually my keen senses smell a stealth member trolling, but I guess I could be wrong.[/quote] You're like a bat trying to navigate his way through a cave with no radar at this point. People know that I've been here before and why I have a different name now. [quote]aspiring to be more than the mere peasants members of unions doesn't make you good, it makes you an elitist whose attitude would have a little trouble making it through the eye of a needle[/quote] Whatever gave you the idea that I think that? How about the fact that radar techs at airports can literally sleep on the job and still get paid because the unions think they should? How about that teachers can't be fired for failing students because the unions want to excuse them for it? How about the fact that union workers are forced to give all this money to unions with the supposed idea that these unions will protect them from the evil, greedy employers with their big fancy offices, when in reality all unions do is become their own evil, greedy employers with their own big fancy offices? I dislike and strive to be more than unions for that reason. [quote]whatever your opinion of the modern union's practices, your comment is ridiculously out of line and yes, I said it, it reflects an attitude that will not get you to heaven. Jesus had no kind words for people with that kind of attitude.[/quote] Since I'm no longer Catholic, I don't believe that your heaven exists. However, I do not recall hearing any sort of viewpoint regarding unions being mandated from Rome. Curious that you seem to believe there is one. I always thought you were smarter than that. [quote]the present state of unions leaves much to be desired, but their theoretical existence is in part a guarantee against servitude and slavery. a truly free people has every right to stand up and strike against the employer class, to have the power to make a collective stand if they so wish it. when that power is not protected, we risk losing freedom.[/quote] We have the government regulating business practices these days. The last thing we need with that are unions on top of it. Edited March 24, 2012 by r2Dtoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
