Enslaved

I have a friend who worked summers during college in a factory. Early on a co-worker told her to slow her pace. She was making the others look bad. She was confused.

By the end of her first 2 weeks, she was approached by a worker she did not know who warned her to slow her pace. She was making it difficult for her brothers and sisters.

That was her first and only job as part of a union. She went on to get her accounting education. She is no longer enslaved and dictated to about how she should perform her responsibilities.

She enjoys the freedom and pride in doing a job the best she can. Her company is cutting back in her department and she faces uncertain times but she goes to work and keeps on task and works hard to earn her $.

Unions were necessary 100 years ago when employers used and abused people and then discarded them as used equipment. Unions now are slave owners. I fear the UAW may take down their slaves along with Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors.

Give me the freedom to do an honest day work for a fair wage.

'til later
