Thread Name: BS: union busters
Subject: RE: BS: union
Having a long track record as one who has very limited tolerance for systematic greed, abuse of power, illegitimate or incompetent authority, violation of trust, and the exploitation of the vunerable, I have been through too many "jobs" to keep count of, and about a dozen abortive "careers", not to mention having been in trouble most of my life. Considering the way I am and pretty much have been all of my life, it is nothing short of miraculous that I have lived to be as old as I am. I've worked open shops, closed shops, Union and non; public sector, private sector, independant small business (will never try that again!) and etc.. mostly in the "Human Services" until body, mind, and soul were so thouroughly broken and burned out that I was good for little or nothing. Currently, I make "things" and just try to endure from one day to the next. I've seen greed, ruthless lust for power, and exploitations run rampant in "labor" and "management" alike, and for all the trouble I got myself into for advocating for the manipulated and abused, the Unions never did me much good of substance that I could determine. I entertain little trust for Company goon or union thug, and avoid as much as possible the company of either. As long as the human heart is susceptable to sin (alienation from Creator and others / the rejection of Love), evil in one form or another will permiate every institution of every civilization we might conceivably come up with. Always has, and until Christ comes back to kick arse, take names, and judge the quick and the dead... prob'ly shall ever be so.
