You're garden is beautiful! Love all of our precocious plants!

Don't fool yourself. If you were union, you'd have to pay a livable wage and benefits and that'd cut in to all your money you're making. Small business especially lie to their employees. Unions are bad! They'll take money out of your checks! You are laughable to me now. Unions have the best trained skilled workforce in the US. Accredited apprenticeships, college accredited courses. What do you offer?

You see, that's where we differ. You keep trying to compare our net worth and I keep asking how you treat your employees. Nobody is more anti union than a small business owner, nobody. 105 year union contractor versus a 15 year rat contractor. This has become very laughable. Don't get me wrong, you are a very smart person and driven to build a company, I have no doubt! But to call me a grifter is such an insult. You have no idea what my work ethic's are. Not only are we a union shop, but we are an employee owned shop as well and treat our employees very well. When the company does well, we all do well. BTW, I'm getting a new 2024 company supplied truck this Wednesday, gas card, maintenance card too. In case you were wondering. My current 2018 truck is getting too old it seems for me to have any longer.

You want cheap labor plain and simple.

As usual, you won't answer, you replay Rant, rant, rant. Makes me think you don't offer you're employees benefits. Keeping profits for your ratty ass self. Hope you had a nice Mexican vacation. What vacation time do your employees get? Answer with something other than I'm a grifter for once. Or rant, rant, rant. Another hard question you will avoid. Rat.

One of the things I love most much is the giving back. Love to help other people that might need some help. Love that. I love my family, but I love helping people wo are less fortunate than all of us. I never forget about them. Ever. Most much? lol is that a thing?

Nice reply from someone that probably does concrete work or some other unskilled trade. The company I work for has been union over 105 years and counting. How long have you been in business County Club? Wondering. Please answer.

Waiting for your answer on this topic.

I get that and thanks for your comment. All of the benefits are included in the negotiated wage package. A very nice deal for our workers. No, there s no such thing as free. All of their benefit's are part of the hourly wage.

We all had a very nice time together! Thank you baby girl! Hoping you did as well with your family!

You as well baby girl!

It's a negotiated as part of our wage agreement. So no, not as a cost actually but covered in an employees negotiated wages. Unlike non union where they are just fucked out of health insurance and benefits generally. Or if offered benefits, it's coupled with a lower hourly wage. Once again. Our employees make 75 bucks an hour all in. 401K, health insurance, Dental, Vision and Retirement. Can anyone here meet that for their employees that are nonunion? If so, I'm waiting to hear it. No? Crickets. I thought so. I get so sick and tired of employers telling their employees that unions are bad for them. Bad for their bottom line. They don't like to share money for certain.... Truth be told unions are very good for employees. In regard to trade unions, it's very good for the employer's also. The have access to trained and experienced employees that have been though a 5 year training process and can produce to excellent levels. The company I work for has been Union for 105 years and counting. And it's an employee owned company for the last 7 years. What does that tell you? ESOP plans, better health insurance, better retirement. No, nothing comes at a zero level cost. The thought of that is absurd. It's just some companies care about their employees and some don't give a shit. I'm here to stick up for the some that give a shit about their employees, unlike so many that don't care. You are right. Nothing is free. Somethings are worth fighting for. Like a livable wage, and a 40 hour work week and paid holidays. Time and a half over 40 hours of work? Paid time off for bereavement or the birth of a new one. Accrued paid time off because everyone needs a week off here and there? Got it! Taking care of a loved one who is in their last stage of life? Do you really think big business pushed any of these as laws? No, I don't think you are this uneducated. Not at all. It's the party you hate. One guess. I'll give you a hint. It's the party that Votes against it's best interstress all of the time. Year after year. When I was a young man, many YEARS ago, I listened to my employers that told me how very bad unions were. Then I started asking why? The more I asked, the more they told me that they would take away from my take home pay and they would access me money from my take home pay. Which is true, they do that. What my employees didn't tell me is where I would take home a 50% plus pat increase and full benefits, see above. Employers hate unions because they cut into their bottom lone. PERIOD.

He seems to have a very precise understanding of me despite his 82 posts here. That's very laughable to say the least. Another troll. Like the 5,000 other trolls we've had here. He missed your comedy in your last post obviously. I thought it was funny AF!

As usual, when offered a "kind of tough question" and I repeat "kind of tough" you run and hide. That's your MO. This is where you are wrong. Union membership in the US is growing. People want a say in what happens in their jobs, and this scares the shit out of rat employers like you. It cuts into your profits. You have to share and you don't like to share. You don't like that at all. Most European countries have a better cost of living versus us in the US. Access to affordable health insurance, a good retirement. Why? 90% of them belong to a Union. Here in the US 10 to 15% Union. And everyone here bitches about not being able to afford retirement. Me? been in the Union for 30 plus years. I'm going to be happy and FAT in retirement. Good for me. YAY! I made the right choice despite what many employers told me to "be careful of" or, no they will fuck you over. Employers have one thing in mind. Making as much money as they can. Think about that. Making as much money as they can. Paying their employees less because obviously they can do that without a collective bargaining agreement. Bottom line, you you don't give a rat's ass about your employees. And they are uneducated and don't know any better. You will respond with "this is too long and I didn't read it or some other BS. I'm sure. Piss off. You steal from your employees. Above is my previous response that you ignored with one of your piss off responses. For your review of course. One question, how many paid days off do your employees get? Qurious here.

You are always the voice of reason here and are the calming person. You are loved by many here for that. Much respect, much love back you. I never take you for granted. I value our friendship inside and outside of our hobby. Hoping you are safe and sound today and tomorrow. Love you!
