115. I know we're on the same side...
so that wasn't directed at you. :pals: It was my mistake not to say so. I was responding just like your previous post of "compassion" wasn't directed at me. It seemed like a good place to rant. I thought I'd tell what is really happening out here. Some people don't get it. I think they will in time. When it's too late and the damage is done.

My union is not serving us at all. Only 3-4 people show up for union meetings. They don't care and don't understand. All they know is they pay union dues for a minimum wage job. They would rather have it in their pocket.

Our warehouse workers went seven years without a raise. They had to strike for two weeks but they finally got it! Altho, it's only $1.50 over for the next three years.

The CEO and CFO earn 1 million a year. Co-workers are shocked when I tell them. I hope to be in a better job rather than looking into organizing. I can't afford to stay their too much longer.


Thanks for your support. Keep at it!
