The benefits of working under a union card.

They been busting freight on union dock a break bulk summer job before college this fall. The usual bid is a 03:00 start today on six punch they took 06:00 they both are tired I was up and packed their lunches for them two Dagwoods sandwiches four puddings cheese pepperoni sliced and crackers four microwave soups and I cut up cantaloupe for them. And I made them breakfast so we could sit and eat together we been lacking on that with my shift and theirs.

Any time after 8 is time half anytime after 40 all time half and I’m not sure. I told them cuz it’s Sunday you two maybe double time so check with union stew not sure the contract they work under is different than the one we have here at buster brown as a road man. Yep Hoffa junior the trumpig of teamster presidents sure fucked up the master freight contract with that we all use to work under one contract Hoffa junior belongs in the Fed prison like trumpig.

Anyway I told the fellas this morning if it’s just time half you’re gonna net around $2072 if your contract is giving double time then you guys be around $2400 for this week. I tell them bank your cash I’m writing tuition checks and they will.
Not bad coin for two seniors who cyber school and will be graduating in couple weeks then off to university in the fall.

1. Woot

I do eventually want to finish a degree. However, if I tried dock loading work I am almost positive I would eventually forget the controls and start knocking crap all over the place and do an accidental wheelie in a forklift. I must be supervised.

5. Some terminology used must be specific to trucking industry

But I’m glad to hear about people making a living wage doing “blue collar” work. Unions are great and I can’t believe how many people buy into the RW line bad mouthing them. Years ago I worked in an industry in which the unions were losing membership, meaning there were fewer union shops. But as long as there were some around the pay at non union shops stayed competitive. As there were fewer and fewer of them, pay throughout the industry suffered.

7. That's funny, didn't know that.

Of course he was the one who busted the air traffic controller Union.

Speaking of them, they are required to retire at 55, right? Why can’t we put age or term limits on politicians? Get some fresh blood into the government.
