I work with very competent engineers who are members of my same union. We work long hours, sometimes weekends, when the company needs it without complaint. We're in this thing together. To me, it's your attitude and frankly awful language used to describe your colleagues which is the problem. We're all human beings, all of us. We all deserve dignity.

Right, the problem is me, and how I describe them, not their poor behavior and gold-bricking. I haven't said anything at all about their worth as human beings. What I take issue with is their behaviors - laziness, ignorance, deliberate stupidity, and the idea of being entitled to employment regardless of your contribution to the value of the employer. Unions protect the worst kind of people - occasionally they can get it right, but it is clear to me that unions are an inferior and woefully insufficient tool for labor issues. In the US, at least. I've no doubt many other countries get it right. We don't play by sane rules in the US.
