Bernie Sanders makes a major endorsement

[TC Talks]

Bernie never had grit, just bull....

My dad worked in the foundry for 40 years and still came home and ran the family farm for his parents. Now that is grit.

Nothing wrong with either life of those choices. My Grandfather started a factory, employed may hard workers. His father was an onion farmer. My Great Great Grandfather was an elected leader who brought many people from Russia when he migrated.

I know that Bernie is a very hard worker. He is also a lawyer. Just read his biography, he supports unions like the one your dad was in...

Bernie probably worked with audio’s dad. /sarcasm

My dad was a hard worker, but he was annoyed with the druggies and the complete slackers the union kept their getting jobs back after they were fired. He felt they were a danger and bad example for the rest of the workers that showed up on time and did their jobs.

I researched it while he was running for President.

I'm the hardest working guy around. I get out there - climb towers, change blowers, repair circuits, etc.

There is a lot of other dud Senators too, but they don't claim to be for the working man with a chicken in every pot.

That's really not the flex you think it is... Ever hear the phrase "Work smarter, not harder."?? If you're the one doing the manual labor, you must be at the bottom of the employee totem pole; you should get an education to receive a promotion and direct others to do that manual labor for you (and make more money doing it).

The law requires the Union to represent all members equally. The druggies and slackers need our representation more often than do the good employees. If we can protect them, the good employees have nothing to worry about.

That’s not how it works in practice in some shops. The steward may fight harder for some than others.

During my career I fought equally for everyone. Most of them didn't need me to fight for them. There were a few cases where I really didn't want to win the fight.

Like the guy who was fired for defrauding Workers Comp. He injured his knee at work and was off for a couple of weeks. When he went back to work, after about 15 minutes, he was down on the floor writhing in pain. It happened evry time he returned to work. The Company believed he was faking it and hired a Private Investigator to follow him around and record video.

They got him water skiing, dirt bike racing, playing tug of war, shingling a roof. They had the goods on him and called him in to the plant to meet. On his way to the plant, the video showed him stopping at McD for lunch. He walked in, picked up his order and ate in his truck. When he was finished he opened the door and tossed out his trash into the parking lot.

When he arrived at the plant, he got out of his truck and was on his way in, when he suddenly rememberd. He ran back to the truck, grabbed his crutches and dragged himself into the plant. The Company fired him. The Union filed a grievance. The grievance went to arbitration. Before the hearing commenced, the Company offered him three month's pay to drop the grievance and resign. He didn't accept their offer.

The hearing went ahead and, with the overwhelming evidence they had against him, he lost. I didn't lose any sleep about that loss. Of course he filed a complaint against the Union at the Labour Board. Said we hadn't fairly represented him. We successfuly defended ourselves against the complaint, but it took a lot of time and money.

So he never learned about the complexity of people. Fortunately, you found the Lord and the mandate to love your fellow man.
