Another Reason I Like Unions

[Devils Horse]

I've noticed around here, that the garbage truck that comes and picks up the garbage, only has one man in it. and he has to stop the truck, run to the back and push the garbage container to the truck, lift the container and empty it, then push the container back in the yard, climb back in truck and drive the truck to the next house and do the same thing all over again, all day long. it's a two man job and the garbage company must be kinda greedy, to have one man doing a job like this. this isn't right, this is another reason I like UNIONS, the union would have ANOTHER MAN HELPING THE DRIVER. it would make the job much safer. and more efficient. does this happen in any of your neighborhoods.

A UNION is for better working conditions, for the worker's. making the job safer and more efficient.
company's are after the bottom line DOLLAR, and couldn't care less about the worker's.
if KY ever becomes a right to work state, you will see more and more of this kind of abuse.

My garbage guy is alone too.

He pulls up in his truck, operates some controls and these hydraulically controlled arms swing down, grab my trashcan, and dump it into the truck. Then as if in a gesture of disgust, the machine violently hurls the empty can back down somewhere in vicinity my driveway. It bounces and lands on it side, often partially in the street. I've never seen him get get out and put it upright and back where it came from.

He never waves back to me either. One of these days I'm going to run out there and shake my fist at him while hollering "you think you're better than me don't you!". But probably not.

Does he need a union so he just drives and the other union guy operates the lift arms in a kinder gentler fashion? Maybe the union guys will be happier and they'll wave hi back to me.
