This is what upsets me most about unions. Even my own. Most of the unions time and money is spent protecting and enabling the weak. Seniority based systems are absurd. It upsets me when I think that I have to work nights with poor days off and the guy who holds the day shift with weekends off is a worthless POS. The only thing seniority should protect is vacation and keeping you from being furloughed. Unions should want to work with the company to give the best jobs to those that work the hardest. It would benefit both sides.

I used to think that the UP was a monster that treated us like children. I've been here for over ten years now and realize that it's because we act like children.

I'm not against unions, I just wish they would modernize.
