      I have only recently became aware of how shitty a lot of construction /plumbing/ electric/ etc union members are as people.

      As they all promoted a giant data center in my city that will pollute and harm everyone (even them).

      But they think 5 years of work on it is worth selling out their entire community and future generations for.

      They spoke at our town hall meeting.

      “Me me me, I want I need I deserve”.

      What a bunch of tools.

      I told another friend of mine about the experience, he’s a mechanic and shares my general values but he deals with a lot of those types due to his occupation.

      He said that’s how they all are. They’ve always been like that.

      I was surprised because I thought union people understand why there are unions.

      Surely they would be against “the man”.

      But they are not. And seem incredibly gullible and selfish. If they turn a profit, fuck everyone else.
