That's the difference between me and you I guess, I'll piss off whoever I have to to get the most out of any job, or anything im involved in for that matter.Or because my union fucks me and it's not worth it to piss of management, HR, AND my union to get... a 10 cent raise.
Essentially, you're a dumb motherfucker with no life experience or you were born with a fucking silver spoon in your mouth. Either way, get fucking bent.
I've used lies, intimation, deception, manipulation and risked termination more times than I can count to get what I deserve from employers and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Workers have far more power in this country than you know, but keep blaming all you problems on your shitty union and employer, you'll definitely get the raise you want that way!
