What the ... protectionist bullshit?!?!?!?

There is a guy at work, let's just call him scumbag, who is a fucking perverted, pedophile, scumbag. He just got in trouble for the 3rd time in as many months for being .... surprise surprise ... a perverted scumbag. Thanks to the union, as of this posting, he still has a job.

When I first started at this job, and wasn't sure f things, I witnessed this guy being a piece of shit. A family of 4 was passing through to the Caribbean. He looked the 13 year old daughter up and down with a leer on his face and said in a Quagmire voice "I hope you brought a bikini.". I thought the father was going to beat the shit out of him or at least report him,. He did neither. In retrospect, I would report him.

3 months ago scumbag got in trouble, meaning suspended without pay, for comments he made to a woman. He made some very graphic jokes to her in front of her husband. They both complained and he was suspended.

2 months ago he was extremely insulting to a pregnant woman. The jokes/comments started with references to gorging at an all you can eat place and became more graphic and perverted from there. She complained and he was suspended.

2 weeks ago, he was even worse. In front of a 17 year old and her father he said to a co-worker "You don't even need to put sugar on her pussy.". He is suspended again. Not fired. Suspended.

This piece of shit has a long history of behavior like this. There is no way he should just be suspended. He should be fired. But ... the union protects him.Damn!

I was a shop steward at my last job so I know how a Union is SUPPOSED to behave. They have to provide fair representation to all members. That doesn't mean they have to go all out to defend a piece of shit. If the person admits to doing what they are accused of and the punishment isn't excessive then the union has nothing to do. Or as I told a few people, we can't protect stupid. You did it, the punishment is fair, suck it up princess.

Too often the unions protect people like scumbag. For some strange reason a lot of companies are afraid to fight it. I defended Union member when the punishment did not fit the offense. If it did, there is nothing the Union can, or should, do. Scumbag would have been cut loose a long time ago.

This is a lot of people, unionized people, have a problem with Unions. They protect pieces of shit who should not be protected. Sorry, poor way of putting it. They over protect them. You did it? Yes. The punishment is fair? Yes. Job done.

This is the shit that gives Unions a bad name.

What the ... perception?!?!?!?

The shit wit I work with who is all hot and bothered because I say Saudi Arabia can fuck off and criticize their human rights record has no problem with the tweet that was made by a Pro-Saudi youth group.

He claims it wasn't meant as a threat. It was just a message saying mind your business. Well, you know if 911 hadn't happened, and most of the terrorists that committed the act weren't Saudi citizens he might have a point. However, we live in a different world.
