New Mexico may block right-to-work ordinances

2. What used to chap our backsides was when

Old timers would brag about their pensions and 100% company paid health coverage when we young bloods didn’t get shit under our contract. They had kick ass pensions while we were stuck with bullshit 401Ks. They have 100% paid coverage because they came in under the 1995 contract but we had to pay 70/30 for fucking Kaiser. Felt like the union either

A. Really lost their touch at bargaining

or

B. Just didn’t give a shit

We would ask the rep why it is some folks have golden bennies while we’re stuck with nada. Never did get an answer and to be honest many, including myself wondered why we were paying them when they got us bupkis.

Maybe one of DUs fine union supporters can explain why this is.
