Torch: Y’see, I get why the PO is being a bunch of dicks. They are trying to do what it takes to survive. The mail business is going the way of technology and getting away from paper. There will be no mail eventually. The problem is the union. If PO managment had it their way, they could rearranage the company as they see fit to try to make money. As much as I get what’s going on, they still entered into a contract. I still believe a man is only as good as his word and it’s disappointing that PO managment can’t honor their’s. As for the Union, well… I’m a conserative. I don’t like hanging out with a bunch of people who think they are owed something, like they have a sense of entitlement because they put on a uniform and deliver the mail. I believe that success comes from hard work and dedication, not holding an employer hostage. I think unionization takes away the drive for a worker to try and be a better employee while, at the same time, creating a power structure that seems more interested in how to spend my dues and attaining more power within then looking out for my best interests. And that includes defending scumbags that should lose their job for being stupid but don’t because there happens to be a liberal arbiter who will always side with the union.
There are so many problems within the union. And there is so much anamosity from PO management about the union that the friction that is making my life a living hell right now.

And I don’t know why you’re totally against unions. You see how you’re getting screwed by your company. I am thankful the teacher’s union is able to bargain for us as a collective. Without a union the company has much more power than any individual and will take advantage of the individual due to that imbalance. In a perfect world I might agree with you, but in our own ‘Paragon City’ I am not so inclined.
