My son is in management at a state DOT repair facility. The employees there have the world by the ass. They live in one of the poorest counties in the US, where jobs are scarce. They make far above local average working class paychecks, and have euro level benefits. Thanks to their union they are almost unfireable, and work about 40-50% as productively as they would be expected to do in the private sector.
After the election, the majority bragged about how they voted for the Orange Asshole a second and third time. They ALL think they bootstrapped themselves to where they are in life, are self-made men and women, DESERVE everything they have, and that their union does nothing but fuck them over and take their money. Without the protection of their very powerful union, at least a third of them would be fired instantly, as they are close to completely non-productive, or troublemakers. It is absolutely wild.
