The 'Your heroes thread', by Property

[November Rain]

I don't know the salary or benefits of Branson's workers, but I applaud him on that statement. I abhor unions. I refused to join one when I was 17 and worked when it went on strike. FO. I gotta make money. To me, unions are just bullies that rape companies of their earnings.

I think Boon Mee has hacked your account, spoken like a real clueless non-sense conservative,

You'd have to have run a company to understand this, Bfly. IMO, unions are leeches.

I'm one of the world's tree-hugging liberals, but if I hadn't just greened Jet, I would have done for that first post. Unions were needed at the time of their formation, as the working man was receiving a real raw deal. Now, they're just a way of holding companies, or the public, to ransom.
I too 'refused' to join a union. When I was nursing I joined the RCN, rather than one of the others, specifically because the RCN wouldn't strike. There was an ambulance strike while I was nursing and I was the only one of my colleagues that was against it.
As far as I'm concerned, there are enough choices in Western countries today, as far as work goes. If you don't like your wage packet or benefits package, go find another job.
