Fuel Economy in Cold Weather

Bill b why r u making the trains run late.
South shore is 15 mins behind already.

Passenger trains are a .gov operation, and you expect them to run on time?

Also wanting to hit the range soon. Today my tirant 9 will be delivered to blythes (copper customs actually) and they will let me "play" with it at their range. Next week my gf and I are planning on going but not sure what day yet. Tonight after work I plan on finishing up the last of my 300blk build if I get up the confidence to dimple my barrel for the set screw gas block. Should have gone with clamp on. Then will need to hit jp to tune her in. I am so done with this weather

Never had a real problem firing a union worker either. If you really deserved it you were gone. Good workers often helped get rid of slackers, drug abusers, etc.

And if unions were better than me, then why did the union at my shop decertify and send the teamster thugs packing?

I never implied that union workers were bullet proof. A collective bargaining agreement works for both sides. But, it does protect wages (and other things) for the term of the agreement.

As for your specific shop, I wouldn't have the slightest clue, not knowing any of the details.

Yes, a union worker can be fired.
If the mill follows the procedure.

We have had junior management try to fire good workers for not washing their car.
How does that help the company?

And yet every one of my cars had worse gas mileage in the winter.

Actaeon, You went to the range and didn't invite us....

Where is breakfast this morning ? With a waking 58 blood sugar I'm thinking on eating some carbs...

Sadclown I hope Kingsman is better than Lucy as I finally got to see that last night and am very happy I didn't spend the money to see it at the theater...

Kingsman is so good, Liz and I are already planning on seeing it again.

Yes, I agree it does protect wages at an artificially low rate.

Teamsters prevented us from giving bonuses to good workers who were productive. Teamsters prevented us from giving incentives to employees who had extra skills. They do a great job of lowering the standards so everyone lives at the artificially lower wage.

I have no problem with a private sector employee who wants to join a union. I have a huge problem with a union telling an employee he/she MUST join them. People should be allowed free association, it's actually in our Constitution.

Yes, a union worker can be fired.

i would have fired a manager who tried to do that crap. My managers were there to help increase productivity and safety, not to decrease it.

Kingsman is so good, Liz and I are already planning on seeing it again.

Looking forward to seeing this one too.

I never got the concept of working for someone that doesn't take care of their own employees. I mean if the company is that bad towards their employees then rather than getting a union to force them into submission why don't you just work somewhere else. If enough people don't want to be treated a certain way then the business will either have to move where the employees will put up with the unfair treatment or go out of business... Forcing the employer to follow someone elses guidelines to run their business is just as bad as working for someone that you can't stand. It's their business and your labor...

Did I tell you guys it is freaking cold..... it is.... I'm not going on top of any water towers today.... Nope....

In other news the TN has been acting up since yesterday. It's not fun, extreme weather changes seems to make it flare.

But, now I shall make some vittles, this shall suffice.
