Even around here it's noticable.Sysco drivers (non union0 work alone and unload a tractor trailer.Budweiser drivers (union) show up in a little box truck with at least two,sometimes three guys.We tease them when they show up...I ask them "Hey,who's the clipboard operator today"
Amen, amen, amen!
Although unions were needed, and indeed great things at one time, they now do nothing more than protect the slacker, and "over benefit" workers.
The sense of entitlement by an average union worker truly baffles me.
