I've worked at UPS. The Union is a 100% must

[adrianmacias]

That senator is a union buster, the fact that he starts his statement saying he has nothing against unions then bashes on American working people to exercise their right to organize tells you what type of person he is.

[ryebreadpanic]

Hey look, a politician making ~200k while working fewer than 200 days a year is calling someone else a drain on society. Now *that's* funny.

[jonschwindt]

THATS how you stand up to mouthy senators …..right on!

One minute into this and it is clear Mullin doesn't have a clue what he is talking about.

[rockhero]

My dad was a union organizer for the Teamsters back in the day. These guys can be tough when need to be.

[yvettesnananone]

Mullin is such a whiner .O'Brien was stellar!

[markb]

Finally, someone stands up to these jerks. Not saying the union guy is any better than the representative, just stop badgering and ask the question and get the answer and then ask another question.

[Kromdor]

UPS feeder drivers make closer to $135, 000. What is this guy talking about 😂

[p.a.andrews]

The longer we go without unionism in the working-class, the longer fascism runs things ! Unionized and organized labor please help stop fascism ! In the war on the working-class we must struggle, and look for Unity and solidarity.

[GentleGiantAudio]

Some day, I am going to tell my children this was an un-aired episode of 'Night Court'.

[NotMee]

I swear I am so grateful for my Boston attitude 🎯😂

I will answer the question. How can unions say they are for the workers and NOT agree with right to work states???..Its very simple. Unions provide a service to the workers. They negotiate wages, benefits, working conditions, and also put in writing the steps to be taken in matters of discipline, safety measures, and minimum training standards, and quality of work to be preformed standards, just to name a few... All agreed upon in advance in the contract. Union employees pay dues to pay the lawyers involved in writing these contracts.. In a right to work state, republicans have written rules that state that the union has to cover ALL the employees. AND THAT IS BULLSHIT...If somebody wants to benefit from the work of the union. then they damn sure better PAY for it. If they don't want to join FINE then DON'T But don't take the wages, benefits, holidays off, etc that the union negotiated for. Take the minimum wage and medicare and continue to vote red....

Feeder drivers make 35k a year? Where Mexico?

[shawnM]
