SOLDIERING

SOLDIERING to all of you non-union or used to be union, but are now administration types is the term your talking about but not using. In the army the lazy private never gets in trouble, and does nothing. Hence all the other privates see this occurring and ascend to the lazy guys sloth and uselessness. Now, none of them gets recognized outside of thier circle. That theory transfers to everyday, in or out of a union. Its use in private business as I found out in college courses never specifically mentioned unions as the place where soldiering occurs as opposed to non-union positions. But the term is little used even though its connotation and its practice is found in every type of workplace.

My oldest son went and worked today and got paid. When he came home I tried to shake him down for 25% to give to his siblings who didn't work today (even though at least one of them had an opportunity). I call his brother and sister "Occupy Livingroom". We also told him we have a progressive system in our house, so the more he makes the higher the % we take to give others who don't have "enough"...

Needless to say he was opposed to having the wealth that he intends on using to improve his standard of living confiscated, lesson complete.

In essence, unions make it so that the better, harder workers must make up for the lazy bums because the lazy bums cannot be gotten rid of and the bums get the same scheduled raises as the hard workers. In businesses without unions, the lazy workers become unemployed and the hard workers are given raises relative to their performance.

It is not just unions that do this, it happens across the entire sprectrum, in all businesses. Lazy workers are coddled/hidden in the private sector as well, maybe not as much, but almost. What about the company suckasses and the group that surrounds him/her?

The private sector has an incentive to toss out the lazy workers - some definitely do make it though the cracks though.
