So the union wants to take their jobs away from them for their own benefit? How nice.
Quote:Unions have gone into bat/represent those workers/backpayers pro bono
And yet they still refuse to give their hard earned money over to the unions. How ungrateful. No wonder the unions want to burn it to the ground.
Quote:why if their situations were remedied by Unions would expecting them to contribute later on at a pro-rata level depending on their length of stay & how much they worked be a problem?
In my experience unions are great at overstating their status as a saviour of the common man. For the most part they just create unemployment.
Quote:That's your fault ... or were you a shyte worker?
I was young and did not know and did not care about minimum wages. He offered me ongoing work at a certain rate and I accepted. I could have walked away at any time.
