Pinwheels

Its come to my attention that we have a LIVE one in Bld 811!

A real paranoid-schizoid case is brewing against the freedom fighters. Last week someone left a few pinwheels around in building 811, gifts to salaried, non-union and union workers alike. There was no message or secondary intent for these gifts, just a simple act of good cheer.

Then the buffoonery started. Some hot-air blowing maroon came around and noticed the pinwheels on some desks and he became unglued! This was an unprovoked open harassment of the union! (yeah right) And he was going to stop it!

So he went to a Department Manager and DEMANDED that somebody be disciplined for this. This was total disrespect of the union, and an intolerable condition! He showed a picture of some union website with a picture of what looks like airplane tails in a circle around the local union's symbol.

See for yourselves! Click on the article's title "pinwheels", and see if their page provokes delusions. Anyway, this is the most preposterous idea I have heard in a while, so I HAD to mention it here. This guy is feeding on self-induced or union provoked paranoia and he has made a monkey of himself.

I hope the people who were harassed as a result of one man's kindness go to HR and report the case. Maybe they should go to security too, and report the kooky behavior of this union primate...you never know if someone is coming unglued these days.

As for our party, we discovered the union’s paranoid schizophrenia has helped generate an idea for our cause. We might just use the pinwheel like we never imagined. We couldn’t make this stuff up in our dreams! It’s just too funny!

Time for Teletubbies, time for Teletubbies!

Featherless Chickens

Welcome back from vacation everyone! 2009 puts us within sight of a union free shop. It's been a fun two years watching the tough union guys frown at us as we go about our business testing products out on the lines. I wonder how they reconcile that in church? They've challenged us to stop whatever it is we're doing. "Stop making anti union web sites!" " Stop wearing T-Shirts and hats!" "Stop wearing those offensive buttons." "Whaaaaa! I'm gonna tell HR on youuuu!" (sob) And they did. And HR told them to shut up and stop crying.

It seems like our side has won the debate by de-chicken. IAM Lodge 933 lacks any leadership capable or willing to confront the opposition in debate. The union has chickened-out of a debate by not showing up. Once in a while we'll get the token slogan or two on the blog, but we haven't had any debate on this site from the opposition. Why? IMHO they are featherless chickens. They are flapping their featherless wings around the company squawking up a storm doing a whole lot of nothing. They can't handle the heat of debate.
-
Their officers can't write a convincing argument to represent. They are unwilling to represent themselves, they are unqualified to represent me, how do they think they can represent you out on the manufacturing floor? One way you're getting represented is the increased taxes on your salary.
-
The three percent raise you get this month is gonna get offset by a negative margin, right about the time the union negotiated contract let your medical costs soar. They raised your dues because we got smart and quit. Now they demand a bigger share of your check!
-
You either support the union, or you reject it for a more practical alternative that doesn't include taxation without representation. The union's argument for keeping a bargaining contract flies about as well as a featherless chicken. I choose to side with the majority of RMS employees and go for the deal that salaried folks get. Oust 933!
