Drive-by

Ok. I am a non-union Employee at the Headquarters of a company that is 86% unionized.

In the big scheme of the world, for what I do, I make dick.

So, when we have our shareholders meeting and one of our union (extremely senior, extremely overpaid for what they do, easily outsourced but we as a company are too big of pussies to do it) groups is picketing on the corner, talking to the media, asking for equal pay and more headcount I have to resist the urge to drive by and throw something at them.

Preferably something heavy and sharp.

Seriously, this group probably makes, on average about $52 an hour, has flexible scheduling and very little responsibility.

This is one of those things where if i was king for a day around here I would outsource it and spend the money that we waste on these folks on a few much needed programs.

There was a time and place for unions. And some still provide valid benefit:
Coal miners need unions.
Hazardous materials plant workers need unions.
Railroad mechanics need unions.
Baseball players, pilots and these jerks absolutely do not.
