[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 957901, member: 61136"] Im not offended, but. I used the word haters 'cause when this subject comes up. There are many that ready to say and use their experiances, to proove that unions are destroying our economy. I dont believe it or never will. Do I think some unions pushed too much, yes I do. I dont know about those on this board that are union discenters(nicer word, spelling maybe). Those in my world here that are. Are most of the time mangment or as my B-inlaw(same age and yrs of service as me).. He works for a chemical division of Celenese. They pay very well, including benifits. "No union involved". If it wasnt for the no kin clause. I would have used my instrument skills there. We tried. FYI, I worked for a Chemical division of Mobil. My whole package was about $40perhr when I retired. Had to strugle through negotians for it. Mobil is a large company. I was a full service tech. Educated in all areas of proccess control and enviromental. Not just one, as some techs are. My B-inlaw as a general mechanic(OJT, no ED required. His package was always $15 to $20 more perhr. His retirement package almost twice mine. One of those companies that apreciated labor, I suppose. Intresting fact is. His last few years. He took a managment planing posistion. Now he hates unions. He didnt until then. What I said in second paragraph. I could have moved on I suppose. By the time I realized there was better pay out there. I had too much senority and vacation time to flush, IMO. Didnt want to start over. My bad. I probably would have quit if we didnt have a union in "my plant". You can say I should have moved on. It was my shoes though. Im just showing a comparison of 2 major corporations in the chemical industry and job types. [/QUOTE]
