My god man. Stauber finally won out of dire necessity but one man brought in late can’t fix a unionized shit show or stop the people forced to flee from the area looking for good jobs. It is fun keeping up with all the Dem-lib backed environmental groups suing everyone and keeping your industry in a huge state of fuckery.....while workers still listen to the other sides of their mouths.

I helped a colleague out a while back when they upgraded their air handing units that were running on plc2's to plc5's. About the dumbest fucks I have ever had the opportunity to work with.

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted December 21, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 21, 2019 Steel CEO: Unfair trade practices in China, Mexico and Canada are hurting employees By Kimberley Haas Union Leader Correspondent Dec 19, 2019 GREENLAND — The CEO of Novel Iron Works in Greenland says unfair trade practices in the structural steel industry are hurting her workers. “We have been, over the last three years, really impacted by foreign trade, unfair foreign trade. China, Mexico and Canada have really impacted the market by depressing it artificially with subsidized dumping,” Hollie Noveletsky said Thursday afternoon. Noveletsky says the surge of imports from these three countries have caused their margins and profits to be significantly impaired. In Massachusetts, a market she works in, Noveletsky says public schools are now being built by foreign steel because no domestic fabricator can touch the prices of steel producers that are being subsidized by the Chinese, Mexican and Canadian governments.

Just out of curiosity, any numbers comparing the two as far as annual retirement pension payouts over the last 20 years? How about the projected next 20 years? I'd bet it'd make anyone's jaw drop to their toes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
