Should Union AND Non-union workers receive paid holidays and paid vacations? If so how?

I don't get it myself. I'm a conservative and a member of a union. I used to work in weld shop making $18hr, then I went through a 4yr apprenticeship for the Ironworkers union.

I make $41.25hr. That really isn't much when you think of the things I have to do. We are trained to do it safely.

That is what a contractor is paying for. A non-union, un-certifed person is likely to get themselves, or someone else killed. I've seen scabs welding down hand on a gorilla cage at a zoo.

What if we didn't stop them, and a gorilla got out? I've seen scab try and set iron with a forklift, and a rope. Lady Christina, they do it all the time in the trades.

Now, I have seen some other unions force themselves on people in jobs like nursing, but it is different in the trades. EDIT: To add to this a non-union contractor will bit a job at lets say $55,000, when lets say two union contractors bid the job at $62,000, and $60,000. They get the job, but pocket all the profit.

The employees get the shaft at $15hr. The outfit I am with bids jobs at $150hr. $72, of that is my package.

The owner has to cover insurance, and profits about $20hr per man to do nothing. On a job with 60 Ironworkers for a year they are doing well. $48,000 a week.

They aren't. The wages of Union workers put pressure on capitalists to pay a living wage to non-union workers too. Look at history, whenever unions did well so did most other workers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
