Unions were hard won on the blood of workers.
Every OSHA safety regulation the boss complains about costing him money has worker blood on it. It’s like electrical code, you may not like it, but adherence to it provides a market standard.
Workers made American industry great, not grifter CEOs who pretend to speak engineering, and don’t you forget it.
Your grandchildren called me the other day, by the way, so spare me the folksy veneer on anti-Americanism disguised as a work ethic.
No union? No way, Jose!

They'll retire as millionaires, not just with a retirement. > It’s like electrical code, you may not like it, but adherence to it provides a market standard. Union brings a lot of baggage with it. Sure the above is good but doesn't mean union can be the only way. > who pretend to speak engineering He's more of an engineer than you'll ever meet in your life, count on that. > anti-Americanism disguised as a work ethic WTF does nationalism have anything to do with this? Musk is planning to put "humanity" on "Mars". You think he gives a flying fk about one country or the other, or traditions and status quo? He cares about people, not Americans. This the most shortsighted comment I've read all week. > No union? No way, Jose! Will see amigo.
