so you're suggesting we do away with bargaining rights? i think that's step one. it would help to be competitive when you don't have to pay someone $70/hr to stand around and do nothing while reporting you if you tell him to do some work, right tdongz?
also, let's give employers back the right to fire people, starting with "teachers".
The unions in Chicago are sickening. Tradesmesn (plumbers, sheetmetal workers, carpenters, etc) should NOT be making around 6 figures a year. Historically, the people that went into the unions were the drop outs, guys that couldn't afford college, didn't want to go, burn outs, ...etc. So now in a recession all these fucking guys are laid off and collecting unemployment...nobody can afford these assholes.
On Saturdays ...which is doubletime in the union they'd make $80some bucks per hour. You can't run a fucking business like that and sustain it.
I know PLENTY of union guys from the soutside and for the amount of work they do versus their paycheck is fucking retarded.
I knew a guy that worked twenty some years on the assembly line at the Ford Plant on the south side. Fucker would screw the headlights in cars and get paid over $40/hour. You're telling me that to screw head lights on a car should get paid $40/hour ? That's crazy.
Teachers too, they bump up your salary in your last 4 years and then take the average and base your pension based off that. I know a retired teacher from the city that is making $80K this year being retired. That's not a bad fucking salary for ANY JOB.
