Union Member: Employee Free Choice Act Would Endanger Jobs (and Pensions)
Sunday, March 29th, 2009 by adminFrom Sunday’s Public Opinion in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania:
In response to the Employee Free Choice Act — it can’t be passed. If it does, I can guarantee you there will be millions of people out of work.
I was in a union for 23 years and in that amount of time, it bankrupted four big trucking companies and put at least 5,000 people out of work.
Also, when I went to withdraw my union pension, they didn’t credit me nine-and-a-half years of my 23 years of service, because I lost my withdraw card. Plus, I know some other employees who didn’t get credit for two years up to five years.
With regard to what was published in the paper concerning Jim Martin, I worked there for approximately eight years. I really enjoyed working and he gave us better health benefits, profit sharing, retiring, and actually I made more money there and wasn’t on call 24/7 like I was with those corrupted unions.
So please call your senator and tell him to vote against this bill.
