Oregon is about as far as you can get from Jersey, pollitically, socially and physically and they have the same law about gas attendants. So... um, argument validity questioned and called out.

FR Folks who dislike (or worse) unions may want to read up a bit on labor conditions back in the "good old" pre-union days. Two books that I've recently enjoyed cover the topic in rich and heartbreaking detail: -- James MacGregor Burns, The Workshop of Democracy -- Page Smith, America Enters the World

Do you really think that calling me names helps to substantiate your position?

That's wonderful. Do ytou support union members turning away help from non union members ? Do you think that the folks without power care who is getting the juice turned on ?

tazzygirl -> RE: UNION! (11/2/2012 6:49:04 PM)
Do you think you can get the story straight?

servantforuse -> RE: UNION! (11/2/2012 7:04:07 PM)
Lookie, If they would send me out there, I would put phone lines up for free. ( and I was good at it )

Just sayin. When you pump your own gas you are working for free. You might think so. Ironically, in Florida, where we self-serve, we pay more per gallon than in NJ. Probably b/c we lack a nearby refirnery which NJ has.

As far as I know that is the case only at highway ?interstate gas stations...just sayin. Edited to add....IIRC I have used local neighborhood self serves in Jersey....so I'm almost certain that is a highway service station rule.

It has to be one of the stupidest comments to (attempt to) clarify a point on the planet. No offense meant SlvMike but...it's so....."then". It's kinda done....ya know?

From the late 19th C Pullman strike in Chicago to the coal miners, auto worker, and mass transit strikes in the 20th C, Unions contributed mightedly to the formation of a strong middle class, and kids were able to build a secure working and family life after leaving high school. Unfortunately, that was destroyed by globilization and digital/robotic technology. Just sayin.
