Good morning fellow Metalheads
Budred and Becks, as a former U.S. Marine I thank you!!
Wow! I thought I'd have more time to play but 52 hours at work last week and 64 this week, I'm pooped!! lol No complaints though as the holidays are drawing near and with high unemployment, I thank God every day for my job!!
HB, minimum wage here in the States is $7.55 / hr, though individual States can mandate a higher amount and some do.
I totally agree that theft from the company cannot be ignored!! No excuse for that!! Safety violations are serious as well, but I've learned that every situation is usually unique unto itself and requires a thorough investigation.
As far as workers themselves hating their union, I've never really heard of such a thing. I can understand workers not liking the politics involved or that it's hard for a company to reward good employees because of their contract, or that maybe they've had a bad experience with a rep and feel that they deserved better because that sometimes does happen especially if the rep(s) are not well trained or knowledgeable. Again, most situations are unique unto themselves.
I've found that the rep usually gets a bad rap when something goes wrong because it's easier to be mad at and take frustration out on a co-worker (which a rep is) than to lash out and those in management who wronged them and for obvious reasons, no fear of losing their job that way. A lot of times a worker may have issues that just aren't grieveable regardless of how wronged they feel and because the rep can't do anything about it, they take it out on them.
Spa, yes! Any non-union employer in the statee of Indiana can terminate an employee "at will", and that sucks!! No warning, no just cause!! For this reason alone it pays to be under a union umbrella!!

Ha! Thank you Spa! And Vail! My coco heros lol..
OMW!! I just got back from a day of offroad motorcycle training. I feel like my back is about to break! Lots of balance stuff on the bike from 9am til 3:30pm and I am stuffed! But learnt a lot of cool stuff like riding with one foot off the peg and then riding whilst kneeling on the sadle.. felt very weird at first but once mastered was pretty cool ha ha ha. Also sitting side saddle while riding. Now I'm not too sure how that is supposed to help me for general off roading but it was still pretty cool to be able to do. In case I haven't made my point clear : MY BACK IS KILLING ME!!! lol. Now I have to go and catch my kids bunnies, out them back in their hatch and then go teach my Sunday School class.. No rest for the wicked... or the peacemakers either ha ha ha~
HELP!! Can anyone tell me where I can watch Conan's new show online? I love him and my stupid Satalite television network is not broadcasting his show here MY SAD!!

Yesterday, the yearly "Gumpathon" ended its 63 day run to raise money for the troops. I figure that if a man with no legs can run and others can do 85 / 86 miles in one day I could donate and run my eight. Amazing people.
Yes, lest we forget. And thank you to every single veteran out there for their sacrifices!
Haven't been able to post much lately cos I've been so busy, and today has been crazy thanks to family drama. Long story, but it's ongoing. It's not Craig either in case anyone wonders if something has happened over there lol.

yep. of course theft of company property... hard to let that go. repeated safety violations that lead to 4 of your co workers writing in complaints, after being placed on probation, not good. sigh. the problem is that 80% of workers hate the union, but none have any interest in removing it. so the few who will represent them end up on the outside of their co workers. the problem is that the union has all these issues to discuss, some real, some bullshit that these 2 fools and a few others gave them, and no understanding. so now they need someone to explain them and help them negotiate it, since they told the membership they would work on these things. one was improving health and safety, which they need to let us fire those who drive van loads of people thru three red lights in one day. if we get this contract done before december 2012 I will be surprised. of course thats at a rate of 5 bargaining days in six months.
interesting about the At will legislation. most states are that way but alow for implied contract, which I would think makes a bit more sense. our rules are like those that Spa described, need to prove that you tried to corect the behavior and the worker would not except in severe cases.
Re your coment to Becks. I think you confused vacation and holiday. our vacation is their holidays. so you get 11 stat holidays and three weeks vacation. out of curiosity what is the legal min wage and min vacation statute there?

Spa, all a right to work state does is allow a worker to have a choice in whether they want to join the union or not if there is a union at that facility.

Indiana is an at will state which means an employer doesn't have to have a reason to terminate your employment. Having a union in our plant changes that in that my employer cannot terminate me without just cause.
Becks, I totally get where you're coming from as far as all them paid holidays. The company we support gets 16!! Here are the days we get paid for: New Years, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independance Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Years Eve.
HB, you fired 2 of the union bargainers?? lol That's one way to make your point!! lol
By the way, I thought New Jersey was the laughing stock of the U.S., and I refuse to change my opinion of Bon Jovi!!!

Wow, your employer has the will to fire you for no reason? No matter how long you have been there? Here, only in your first 90 days of employment can you fire someone without a just reason, after that you have to follow protocol and write them up, 2 times and third is suspension without pay, 4 is fired. Of couse that is for stuff like no call no show too many late times etc... If you do something truely out of line you'll get fired on the spot. No wonder you need unions with that kind of hire/fire bottom line.
I know NJ is suffering huge embarassment from the "jersey shore" fools and have had to deal with Bon Jovi, but still they don't take it on the chin as bad as poor WV, one of the poorest states in the Union. I fee rather fortunate they broke off from us during the war. The whole of the United States thinks of them as inbred, uneducated, hillbillies. There is about 5 to maybe 10 % of the population that truly own that moniker! The problem is they are such loud mouth nasties, they always leave an impression on those they meet.
So, while I live in VA and work in WV, I'd NEVER want to live in WV. Couldn't stand the shame! lol [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ron h from Monday, November 08, 2010 7:37:37 PM)

How's everyone this fine and sunny Monday? Well, not sunny here but it must be somewhere in the world lol. I'm good.. Getting ready for one last evening class and then I can relax 'til the end of the year.. As far as night classes go. Still got two more kids concerts to get through then we done for the year. Saturday was hectic as hell but well worth it. Had to literally be in three places at one time. Managed to do the morning rehearsal, then Zoey's first Ballet show at the same time as Zakk's karate grading. Lucky they have two parents lol. So we split up and each grabbed a kid and headed to an event. Then Zoey's second ballet show was in the evening so I had that shift. Craig had to do sound for the CMA fallen bikers memorial and then CMA meeting so I hardly saw him all of yesterday. Well tired and looking forward to the week so that we can see each other and get some rest! lol

For that reason alone I'm glad that VA, and finally WV, are right to work states. Got tired of people thinking just because of the state I was from when we vacationed north that we all lived on hilltops past Richmond and all have nothing but farms. I really hated that dated opinion of our state. Unfortunately, that opinion is still out there. Not so much for VA but WV is the laughing stock of the U.S. Glad my plates read VA.

I've never looked for times on the NY marathon in my life. I understand, as a runner, you would find it offensive, but I still hope AL did okay and didn't crap himself trying to finish. LOL [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Sunday, November 07, 2010 8:09:58 PM)

I really find it sad that the world is more interested in the celebs than the actual winner. Seriously, try searching for the winning time and you'll be forced to slog through countless pages talking about "Jared, the Subway guy!" Maybe if the three Africans that took men's 1, 2, and 3 were on "Dancing With the Stars..."

I'm from a right to work state. Unions exist but are not very influencial anymore.
I rememer when I was a child watching the news on months long miner strikes. The media always went and found the miner who lived in a cabin with an outhouse, who was the most uneducated person to find in the area.
For that reason alone I'm glad that VA, and finally WV, are right to work states. Got tired of people thinking just because of the state I was from when we vacationed north that we all lived on hilltops past Richmond and all have nothing but farms. I really hated that dated opinion of our state. Unfortunately, that opinion is still out there. Not so much for VA but WV is the laughing stock of the U.S. Glad my plates read VA.

Nice job! I'd love to have 11 paid holidays a year! I'd also love it much if our employer picked up more on our health insurance than they do, but our premiums would go down dramtically if we could get everyone there to participate in the insurance, but it's hard to get employees who work at lower wages to even consider health insurance. As for the vacation, I should be coming up on 3 weeks this spring myself! Now, if they could just give us sick days that weren't such a joke. lol [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ron h from Sunday, November 07, 2010 7:42:17 AM)

My good friends,
I am not lost. I am not gone forever! I do want to thank a few certain members for their kind words and enthusiastic urging! I will not ignore you any longer. I apologize to those of you that truly did "miss" my presence. Those of you that are more "intimate" with me know precisely why I have limited my participation here.
All is well in our world. The band is busy with year-end shows and we have come a LONG way since I started with them back in February. In fact, we have managed to accomplish things I never dreamed we could! I have had the opportunity to play at some incredible venues. I have met some really great people and I am living a very cool life. It has not all been "roses", though. The toll it has taken on my body is indescribable and the Princess has had to endure some very difficult times. As most of you know, we are not "night" people and this new life has come with a very big price tag. I get by but barely. The Princess has made the decision to stay home most of the time, especially when we are on the road. The travel and the pace are just too much for her and I am proud that she managed to hang in there as long as she did!!
Recently, we played a charity event for the SPCA. We are playing a regular show next weekend and then we are on the "road" again. Heading norteast to Utah. My understanding is that we will have a couple radio spots and some kind of interview but, you know how things tend to change. That is especially true when you are traveling with a group of people! In any event, I understand that there is a tremendous amount of excitement in the town we are playing so it can't be all bad, right?
I think of you folks all the time. I miss you, too. I do spend a large amount of time on FB but that is (of course) to promote the band. Many of our "fans" are there and it is a good way to stay in touch with them. We have a lot of real people as fans on FB (not just other band pages and industry pages). Modern technology really has made huge changes in the music business. I hope all of you are well. I will try to be more cognizant of my responsibilities to my friends here and be "less scarce".

Great to hear that the band is doing well, and I hope you and the Princess will be able to endure and keep it going. Everything in life has their ups and downs, don't they?

While we may not be able to do much as far as promotion goes. We do miss having you about, and we are "real" people here too, who have noted you being gone a long time and missed hearing from you. Of course I could go over there and talk but it's just not the same as the banter we enjoy here.
I fully appriciate your busy schedule, and I'm also very sorry the Princess is not doing well these days, as I have stated before. I understand that facebook is a means of getting to the masses and this place is not.
But, (there's always a but isn't there) We miss you like people who attend a local pub. Let's just say this place is Cheers and your our Norm. We miss you when your gone. We are not asking you to stay here and wait for things to be said, etc. We just like you taking five minutes to perhaps drop in and say hello.
We miss your wit and particular way of saying things. That's not a bad thing,..............is it? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Sunday, October 31, 2010 11:56:16 AM)

Ok, I talked to the bus driver last night. The activities bus has 168,000 miles on it! Thats ALL!! I was shocked! So I asked what was a school bus cappable of getting in miles and he said around 500,000 would be a conservative estimate of it's abilities. But the school retires most of the buses at around six years and some of those buses will have only 65,000 miles on them because they run a short route and others may have 150,00 on them but the majority of that mileage is highway miles so, those buses are probably in better shape that the short route buses. I learned even more about buses than I wanted to after that, but the guy was happy to talk about it! LOL For instance the new buses with the Mecedes engines in them all the drivers hate those buses, too much electronics and stuff to go wrong, and does. So fear not all parents! Kids don't ride buses with high miles.

Sure this site has shit disturbers but there are way more "idiots" that pop up on facebook its unreal,I have a friend who used to be on facebook and he told me all about it plus I've seen it all because he showed me one day,and I laughed my ass of at that place. Its a haven for trendy people and it spanks of poor design it does.
If Freeze is that "fed-up" with Judas Priest.com then its a good thing that he is not a part of it anymore. I've been here since the first day of January 2005 and I aint going anywhere.....I'll be here untill Murray locks out this forum well after Judas Priest retires thats if he decides to lock it out ect....if he doesn't then I'll be here forever. There are no words to describe how much I really fucking hate "facebook" guido,no words. Freeze "sold out" for a trendy place in facebook if you ask me hahaha! Sure I love the big fellow as we all do and we always will,but Freeze sold out haha! It reminds me of x-member "Justin Swift" as he dumped this place for facebook too....although Justin is a nice guy,he is a very trendy individual.
Guido,I too would also rather become a card carrying member of the Jonas Brother's website than to be a member on facebook...anyday! lofl!!!

I think HB would make a good Godfather of JP.com, although I doubt he would be comfortable with that said titile, and do we really need a Godfather?
JP.com is just fine the way it is.
Freeze will come around someday, when we least expect it. I am completely shocked he never dropped in. But, that is his perogative.

What? I don't even have any kids. How could I possibly take over as "el Padrino?" LOL!! In addition, my current status as General in the kmacian wars would make it look too much like a Military Dictatorship. Nah, I nominate Head Banger. He is that cool voice of reason we all need around here. Plus, he knows how many years a bus can hold up.
I am RIGHT with you about Facebook! Hell, I am looking at a receipt asking me to "Find WALMART" on freakin' Facebook! Now why the bloody hell would anyone want to find Walmart on Facebook?! Sorry, that is just absurd. I'd sooner become a card-carrying member of the Jonas Brothers website.
