Union leaders just out for themselves

Can’t people see the Machinists union is just trying to look powerful and dominant?

They want to double our union dues — that is why they want big pay raises and such. What do they actually do all day? Sit around in their $500 suits that we workers paid for, talk big and do nothing. They charge for T-shirts that if they really wanted to give in good faith, should be given away for free. We paid for them already with our union dues.

If people what to be sheep and follow the union’s BS, that’s their problem. Boeing provides my paycheck, not the union.
