You've Got A Giant On Your Side??????

Can't support that one. Giant has an obligation to it's shareholders (if any) to shop and get the best prices out there. It's not like they're going to another country. Most times unions open thier mouths and quality goes down the tubes. Chrysler employees average $75.00 per hour including retirement and health benefits. Yet the quality of thier products sucks. And they're getting ready to go on strike for more, more, more. The japanese are bearing down on them like there is no tomorrow. Look at the bottom of that flyer - union! Bet your a** they'll try to organize a march in front of the construction site. It will be comprised of unemployed union carpenters who won't work for less than $30.00 per hour and will sit around and bullsh** for 15 - 20 minute out of every hour cryin' about how hard they have it. Look at what the unions did for Dresser and Crown. Thier greed is making union reps wealthy doing nothing and leaving unemployed workers in thier wake. I hope people wake up soon.

Agreed. If there are people willing to travel away from home to work for less that the locals are willing to work for, than the locals are asking for TOO MUCH! Unions are what helped drive most manufacturing right out of this country.

They're not travelling to work for less. Not at all. The average wage in that part of Jersey is much higher than it is in Delaware. These union reps are LYING. They are trying to get the local carpenters fired up so that they will organize and affiliate with thier organization. That's how they operate. They piss people off - get them mad enough to ban together and organize. Much like groups of people banned together and formed torch carrying mobs in Medievil England. Then they talk them into picketing non-union job sites and make it difficult for people who just want to go to work to actually do so. They'll have a few meetings to keep the sh** stirred up and then they will tell the loudest and most vocal of the crowd to talk the rest into paying dues in order to keep the union people around and give them guidance to become more organized. As some companies give in and pay astronomical salaries to people who aren't worth it, these same people become even more lazy. Less work gets done for more money and the company will shut down. All of a sudden these "Union Carpenters" will be unemployment collectors and the union is outta there. They collected dues and rode that horse as far as it would go....on to the next region!

Also....let's keep in mind that local 2012 (listed on the bottom of the flyer) is an Eastern Shore local that is a member of the main union council located in .....Philadelphia. What else comes from Philly besides cheesesteaks? Organized crime!
