At the top levels, unions are infested with parasites who have seldom (if ever) walked on the floor of a shop, picked up a wrench, operated a lathe or have even opened a lunchbox in a company cafeteria.
But they’ll show up at the union meetings in working clothes with ballcaps, making like they’re just good old boys. This guy Hoffa is a case in point. Isn’t the whole idea of a union supposed to be working men and women banding together? How does that figure when you have a scion of a obviously corrupt official inheriting his position in the union?
It’s frigging bizarre that they never seem to get called on that.
Freaking amazing isn’t it? My husband recalled today the union guys showing up at his shop in the late 80s/early 90s in designer suits, Italian Leather shoes, and silk ties... Talk about “out of touch”, and then they claim to understand the problems of workers? What a joke!
