I’m less annoyed and more impressed, personally.

I was a certified pipe welder for the local 1304 about a lifetime and half ago.

Also, some of that is in place by the FAA, and for good reason. Continental Express flight 2574 crashed in Texas because of borked maintenance paper work and failure to follow procedures. An inspector with nothing better to do decided to help with a maintenance task. He removed all screws from the leading edge cover…

As a long time union member: the story here is that you were unnecessary. Most on the floor management decisions can be made by senior labor employees. The best boss I ever had when I was in the Teamsters was a guy who would say “what’s the best way to do this?” To a gaggle of old hands and let experience play out…

We have a workrule - DEMANDED BY MANAGEMENT - That requires any box over 25 lbs be lifted by a designated laborer with:

THIS is a reasonable argument. About fucking time.

You just anecdotally quoted Reddit.

We have that work rule in place at two locations.

If he was brought back after mediation, that means the company jumped the gun and fucked up.

*insert anecdotal union corruption story here with zero context or anything resembling factual framing.

I’ve been part of a Union negotiating team for three contract cycles, and a dues-paying member for 15 years.

It’s like freezers don’t exist or something. Un-fucking-believable.

Lol at your admitting your opinion is too shitty and dumb even for reddit and then just plowing ahead anyway. Keep fucking that chicken, buddy.

why, just because she’s fat, does everyone think she’s going to go home and eat everything in one go? I am a fat person, I love sweets, I love savory foods, but if I tried to eat TWENTY cupcakes AND chocolate AND cookies I’d be puking. fat ladies might eat more than ONE cupcake unlike normal people like you who we can…

thanks for assuming that somehow fat people don’t know they’re fat. do you know what you are? a fuckface. hey, just saying what you are, you can’t be offended

as a fatty fat fat fat myself, I would say that the chances of her eating all 20 in one sitting are pretty low. but, you know, thanks for “worrying” your “concern” is so “genuine”

Did you not read what the “mean woman” actually said? She didn’t just refer to someone as fat in order to identify her in an otherwise benign conversation with her friend; she specifically made a joke infering this particular woman’s eating habits, based only on her size, and called her another name that made it clear…

I mean, the term “fat-shaming” may be new, but calling a stranger fat for no good reason is always shitty no matter what generation you’re in. There’s nothing particularly snowflakey about getting pissed that someone audibly called you fat while you’re just out going about your day.

I mean it isn’t like this girl broke down in tears in the bakery.  But it isn’t that hard to just mind your own business.
