IBEW Local 613

Apparently everyone in this thread thinks they're better than everyone else. If you like where you're working stay, if not go somewhere else. It's that easy. No sense in running the other side down. My experience with 613 is great. I know others who hated it. To each his own.

Mine has been pretty good too. I have heath insurance, good pay, and a good retirement. Union or non union you shojld judge a person by they're character and workmanship not whether they belong to a union or not. Ive seen ****ty union and non union workers all around.

I love unions. If it weren't for them I wouldn't make a fraction of what I make annually and I'm non-union! Can't beat that!!!

Hahaha this is getting good. All those haters of unions out there, that's dont support them while they drink a pbr beer or eat some nabisco cookies gotta realize "union made". And a whole lot of other things. I am not giving an opinion on my stance for unions or against them. Just trying to give perspective. You can say that you are completely against or for unions but no one I know can live that claim. At the end of the day if you can look into a mirror as a man and provide for your family, union or not, I take my hat off to you. But, for all you naysayers and hater out there, **** you.

AMEN!



Captdave, I usually agree with a lot of your opinions/positions, and ALWAYS respect your right to express them, but I gotta' wonder...Have YOU ever WORKED in a Union Shop??? Please, do tell us, as we'd like to know where your opinion on Union "Brotherhood" originates....mikey357

I have had union guys work for me.

One we hired as a sub in the month of August and asked "will this job last through Christmas?". My brother's response was priceless. "Christmas?! Are you f-ing kidding me? I hope this job doesn't last until Thursday." He and his apprentice were slow; damn slow. I worked circles around them solo. I asked him what did he do everyday when he was in NY. He said "We got to the job at 7 before anyone else, found the dirtiest piece of **** we could find, smear it all over my uniform and drink coffee until lunch. When the bosses show up see us covered in grease and smoking, they assume were are on a break. We looked like we had been working. Then we went to a bar for lunch from 11-1."

I have seen union guys brag about double dipping. They were working side jobs while they were being paid to be in reserve or whatever the contract calls it. On the other side of the coin I know guys who told me they were yelled at for outworking everyone else.

I believe in free markets. employees should have the right to organize but companies should have the right to wholesale fire those who walk out. Employees should have the right to decide whether or not to join; not an issue here but a huge one in places like MI.

Speaking of MI, the UAW killed Detroit. Why would any automaker open a shop in MI?

For the most part I reject all of Karl Marx's beliefs.
