Seent somethin stewpit today and it wasnt WB or DD!!

I was headin to one of Triton's favorite feshin spots, Vienna, and went by Omnova Solutions here in Columbus. Turns out Local 748L is on strike!! And we thought there were a bunch of gewbers on here. How bad can it be in a plant now a days that you gotta go on strike? Guess the union pays good now?:eek:

My comments wouldn't be politically correct so I'll keep them to myself.

The news report I just read says they have not had a strike there in 30 years and are being stripped of their benefits. Not saying it's reasonable, just saying it seems they feel like they are being treated poorly.

One man says he makes less now than he did when he started there 22 years ago. That can't be good.

No, that wouldn't be good and I don't believe it either.

So how did you do Minner?

Geez... I make less than I did a few years ago too.
Welcome to the real world. Too bad I don't have some agency
to extort how much money I think I should be making from my customers :eek: It's real simple, if you don't like the job QUIT.

I agree J White. They ought to be proud they still have a job. This plant has had several layoffs in the past. Course ifn they quit guess who'll have to support em cause they ain't gonna find another job round here.

Triton, i didn't go that fer south and only got to fish a couple of hrs. Tried a couple of spots I've never fished before. Caught 5. Had one that was 15.5" and the rest round 12-13". River was still muddier than I like it and boats everywhere.

I drive by it everyday and that place is in rough shape. Word is they have been in the red for 3 to 4 years. I have hired 3 or 4 people that were laid off there and I assure you they are making less now.
Unions are a major reason jobs go over seas and companies (Like GM) get in poor financial shape. Unions served their purpose but there is no need for them now.

I think JWhite is a genius. A gewber, but still a genius.
