Work
 

So after working at the same place for 11 years and no pay raise for anyone in the last 5 years I was let go by my former employer just before the holidays.
The old company was sold to a national company

I would love to drop there name here and tell everyone not use them BUT I'm taking the high road on this one and won't go there.

Thanks boss man,:yak:

I'm in a union now and getting paid twice my old rate:rtfm:

thank god for fishing and we can erase those terrible people out of our minds for awhile, how bout those poor bastar** who put in thirty for there pension to get the boot before they can get one check :hang:.
:claps: :claps: to you

I'll say this much...don't fall into the trap that the "union will take care of you".They won't.

That sucks about your old employer Frank, and just before the holidays !
I'm pretty sure I know the name of the old company!
Hope things are better with the union!

Also, I'll be dock mates with you this year at Capt Cove!

I worked for an Auto Dealership group based in Worcester and begins with an "H" for 24 years. I earned and was promised a manager's position at the store in Marlboro. The position , and my job with it were eliminated. I was transfered to Worc., as a tech in a union shop. They had useing the contract against the help down to an art form. Am I bitter? Hell yes.

Cool !! did you get your slip number yet ??

I am so looking forward to this year let's hope it's a good one:soon:

Very few peole or employers are loyal these days. When your lucky to find one, let him [ or her] know you appeciate him [once again-or her].

14 years at one job.

Looking to get the f out again.
Everett?
I grew up there.
Right up the street from the OLD cycle shaft.
Not the new one.

I'm working right now.:hang: Project plan due tomorrow or my arse.:(

It all depends on what union you belong to. I have been in the same union since 1968. I have NO PROBLEM with the union I belong to. In fact,I make more money retired than I was making while working!!
I am a RETIRED TEAMSTER!!! Great Union!!

I'm near Glendale Sq. Been here quite a while - originally from North End.

Im burned on unions. my granfather was a truck driver for over 35 years. when he retired they told him he didnt qualify. he was sol. never under stood how everyone got away with it. all he got was ss. to each his own. wife even belongs

Sorry BW but I didn't understand your post. Who told him that he didn't qualify for what?
