dude stop adding full paragraphs to my statements...
You are changing what I am saying to FIT YOUR AGENDA then trying to prove what you changed as wrong...
You are reading all types of shit into it...
So you can read it CLEARLY.. I am done responding to you since you cant take what I say at face value.
The Brickmason union in Memphis ALMOST DIED, FACT!!!!!!! because they were ripping people off.
FACT
Do your research. It may be changed now but 10+ years ago the UNION IN MEMPHIS WAS DYING BECAUSE THEY WERE BULLSHIT. FACT.
Then throw in the mass immigration and boom, the Memphis Brickmason Union is nothing more than a joke. And that is still today right now. They have no power in Memphis because they dont have enough MEMBERS to make a difference. FACT.
Here is a question I asked my Union Rep...
I have to work 600 hours before my insurance starts, that is 4 dollars an hour out of my check for 600 hours. At the end of 600 hours I will have paid in 2400 dollars. Where does that 2400 dollars go to? At what point do I get it back, or applied to my insurance costs?
He wouldnt answer me, got in his car and drove away.
I have not changed a single comment you made or only used partial statements you made , every last quote i took of yours was a full comment & not altered , feel free to show me where i altered your words or their meaning .
You blamed your union for severe wage drops & i pointed out the union members who voted to approve the wage drops are to blame ,not your union , you didnt like that , too bad because its truth .
You then implied by clever wording your union Business Agent was driving a Cadillac off the sweat of your labor , another claim i proved false & you didnt like that either ,i pointed out your union rep is paid the exact hourly rate as you & not getting rich & you didnt like that , the truth hurts & you cant take it , again too bad because i posted the truth exposing your distortions & clever wording you used for shock value .
You then tried blaming construction unions for all your troubles working union construction instead of your states overwhelmingly anti union Republican leadership who's dominance of Tennessee allowed illegal immigrant workers to dominate the workforce , therefore driving wages in the shitter , you didnt like that because its truth not shock value comments you try to pull off blaming the unions instead of the illegal immigrants.
The insurance your bo hoo'ing about because you have to have 600 hours to become part of the plan is a standard deduction used by all construction unions ,you were made aware of that 600 hour requirement well in advance before you started apprentiship school but now you try to make something nefarious out of a standard plan buy in , its what helps keep insurance costs low , now im understanding exactly what you were blubbering about saying insurance hours dont carry over & it all points tword your work ethic , not the union being a scam .
I read up on your unions insurance plan this morning & know all the particulars now, the insurance rip off your claiming is this , a new apprentice is given 6 months to aquire the 600 hours needed to become a member of the insurance plan , for arguements sake & for those not familiar with construction union insurance lets say your 6 month 25 hr a week buy in starts in january & includes feb,march,april,may & june to work the 600 hour 25 hr a week buy in , if at the end of your 6th month you cant manage to work the back breaking 25 hrs a week you forfeit your 1st months hours , in this case januarys hrs, then your given july to get the hours needed , if you cant get it by july then you forfeit feb hrs & are given August to get the required buy in hrs , this is done for a very good reason ,which is to discourage the huge amount of workers who only want to work part time, just long enough to get a full unemployment claim , then sit at home loafing & taking advantage of other mens ball sweat to pay their insurance while they enjoy their unemployment.
I finally figured out what all the whining was about , you never qualified for insurance because you didnt work 25 hrs a week for 6 months straight , again not working 25 hrs a week is your fault not the union , both my brothers in law got their 600 hrs within 90 days when they went union, ones a sparky & the other a plumber & both now work for my son .
The $2,400 initial payment needed to get the union insurance gets the worker better insurance than even a UAW or Government worker , i have $1 Million per family member coverage for any disease , UNLIMITED hospital days , unlimited doc visits , unlimited specialist care , 12 chiropractic visits ,$5,000 burial benifit , $1,000 per family member dental per yr , all with ZERO co payments , our prescription coverage is unlimited & does not mandate generic medicines that are worthless & we only have a $40 max co payment ,local #5 brickys insurance is much the same so say again how horrible union insurance is , its 10x better than any of the Obama care plans your most likely covered under now , construction unions offer the absolute premium insurance plans & thats a reason why you have to pay $2,400 buy in to the plan , the reason its paid with working hrs vs cash is so the unemployment slugs & cry babby loafers dont run the insurance fund into the ground by working little & spending much.
So far ive proven all your anti union LIES as the propaganda they are , your hatred of unions stems from poltical beliefs & one other big issue , it sure sounds like you didnt work many hours being that you coudnt acquire the 25 hrs a week 600 hrs within 6 months to activate your insurance , ive seen that happen to many a journeyman where they dont get worked alot , assbusters who know their trade & reach high production levels are given preference & work lotsa hours , the cry babbies who spend more time bitching than reaching high production levels dont work much , all those times you were on the ground questioning your union rep, why oh why wasnt your insurance activated ,the other brickys were laying course after course of brick , but im not implying you were a loafer or whiner .
If you dont like reading my paragraphs exposing your twisting the truth for shock value then dont post lies or perversions of the truth in these forums , you dont even have to respond, just know any anti union lie you spew will be challenged & backed up with facts .
