LOL Union Members I agree with raise this that my situation is not the norm, however it's much more common, especially in road construction than most people realize. My situation is what happens when the pendulum has swung too far in labor's direction Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members I used to make 200k+annually. Now I'm making 65k. I've got a house and 3 boys under 5, so I've got many growing costs. I've downsized significantly in both my companies. Still losing money. I'm doing 1/5th the annual revenue I was 5 years ago. When I am profitable again, I will hide as much money as possible to pay as little taxes as possible. The government already takes too much from small businesses, especially in IL. I've been working on an exit strategy since the first day I went union. Unfortunately, I've had many setbacks. Some due to unions, some due to economy, some due to poor ... Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members While that may be a problem, the real problem is allowing the government employees to be forced to pay dues to any union and having the government collect the dues on the unions behalf Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members It was never MY CHOICE to deal with the devil. From 1974 to 1999 we were non-union. Then I joined the company in 1999 and the unions were all over me. If I had any idea, I would have never entered this industry Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members That trucking business could only do business non union companies on non union sites. There wouldn't be enough business. Unions also threaten employees and convince them to quit or do favors for the union. Sabotage equipment, make up stories about labor situations. Many have tried to go non union on a large scale and they all fail in chicagoland. I'm speaking strictly about asphalt and road building Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members Aggregate miners, trucking companies, railroads. EVERYONE IS UNION. Nobody crosses picket lines. If you cross a picket line, the unions threaten their members with loss of pension, physical harm, arson and the union also threatens family members. I've personally dealt with friends who were put through this Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members I own the company. If I wanted to get construction materials, I had to sign with the union. You can not get materials from non-union sources in Chicagoland. They don't exist. The union sets 1 picketer out in front to picket you and you can not get the material. The first time this happened, we tried to trick them with games and driving long distances for materials. Did this for 4 months til we figured there was no light at the end of the tunnel. This happens OFTEN. Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members Unions absolutely can force an employer to unionize. It happens every day. It's happened to me TWICE. With 3 different trade unions. That's how its done in IL. The MAJORITY of the time. Especially in asphalt paving, where it's 100% of the time. Posted in: Off Topic |

LOL Union Members Union workers in states that are not "Right to work" are forced to pay dues if they want a job. Also employees are forced to pay dues in the case when a union forces a company owner to unionize. These employees are then forced into the union and must pay dues, if they want to keep a job Posted in: Off Topic |
