Should have joined union clown

At diner listening to a fellow truck driver bitch. Because he has been denied ssi disability so now he is gonna get attorney to apply. Now here is a guy who hates organized union trucking he would try and trash the union, I’d mention you paying what 125$ week for shit health care high deductible and a 2% match on a 401k. And I pay only union dues 2 hours wages a month for health care and pension defined pension and annuity pension. You guys make to much cash he would cry, I’d reply you on same plantation as me my labor isn’t cheap I like working under union card.

So this morning at 61 he is crying to me how it’s not fair to be denied. I just replied you had chance years ago to work union and you said fuck that. I said you would have had around 15 years by now oh well I don’t wanna hear your victim pity act.

why someone wouldn't want all the good benefits a union provides just because they don't want to pay a little bit in Union dues. Guy must not be too bright or else some RWNJ brainwashed him.

Must have been listening to Faux Noise. Should have investigated union membership benefits for himself instead of buying the right wing propaganda. Union strong.
