Oh please no, I spent 5 years working in a union and I will never do that again. I won’t even consider working for a union. The worst environment I have ever worked in. I was literally bullied by the union steward for dressing for the job I wanted (management) not the job I had.

    my first experience being in a union was them filing a grievance against my employer (i was baby who was just happy to have job, employer was violating contract) and my first paycheck included $5k in grievance pay :stalin-feels-good:

    I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to take that idiom literally.

      I literally wear a suit to school every day because I'm going to be rich when I grow up. Nobody else does. None of them think rich and so they won't be rich. They call me "Scrooge McCuck" and it makes me cry.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that something like this happened: This pillock gets a warehouse job somewhere and rocks up in a fucking suit and tie. After ppl laughing behind his back, the steward takes him aside and quietly but firmly explains that no, you shouldn't be wearing a suit if you're gonna be spending the day driving a forklift or whatever. When this pillock explains his reasoning for it, the steward can't quite stop themselves laughing in time to spare the pillock's feelings.
