I work weekends I work holidays I have healthcare provided by my employer that is at a good price because I 'put in my time' Safer?....that depends on what dumbass co-workers are on the schedule that day
unions 'provided' the fulcrum through which political parties are able to garner votes and $$$
I also worked 'weekends' and got paid 1 1/2 overtime for Saturday and double time for Sunday. I worked holidays and got paid holiday pay plus 1 1/2 overtime. I had employer provided health care at reasonable rates. In spite of OSHA and safety committee input, there still were injuries that were preventable. Unions provided all these benefits. With out a union, we'd have been no better than a WalMart worker. |
