Quoted from pinstyle:My wife reads every label, there is so much poison in the food in the US. Its very difficult to avoid it anymore. Unfortunately everything in the US is a business with very little regard for the end user. For me it is too late, I grew up eating this crap but what we do now is for our kids (and the hope that I actually outlive my parents).
so much poison, thats why were all dead. 
Quoted from Atari_Daze:REALLY?

these might not be the same size to begin with. the smaller one could be a single serving bag thats was increased in size. The lager a multiple use bag.
Quoted from Frax:Went several months without contract a few years ago. I'm personally willing to vote against this garbage and vote yes for a strike, and my work center has voted for authorizing strikes before.
*edit* Just so there's some laughable comparison points here because I don't want someone to go "Wow, a 3% raise is pretty good!" Sure...if you make 100k/year.. but I make less hourly than I can make DONATING PLASMA. Sure, I can't be bled dry for 40 hours a week, but if I could, I'd make more money doing that in take home pay. And that will still be the case after 4 years of stacking 3% raises. And you wouldn't believe the absurd breadth of things I need to know and understand to do my job effectively. It's changed massively in the 10 years I've been here, that's why our current pay is a joke. Even I would've said 5 years ago that my job was too easy for what I got paid, but not anymore. The amount of specialized skills that can't be trained for and information needed to know and retain has easily increased tenfold if not more since then, and pay has not kept up at all.
Wah wah, quit whining quit unions, get paid what you are worth
Quoted from Frax:Not sure if trolling, just a moron, or you actually have some kind of legit point to make that requires explanation.
*edited a few times. Trying to not be a total a-hole and leave some room for discussion if there's an actual point other than calling me a whiner, as much as I doubt it.*
You went several months without a contact because you weren't happy with your pay, if you don't like your pay get another job. Get paid based on your worth, not some unions contact that dictates pay levels regardless of actual merit, plus you'd save giving the "leaders" big fat checks. Unions had a place before govt work reforms and regulations. Now they are just archaic syndicates that cause costs to skyrocket for no benefit.
Quoted from Frax:There are good reasons I've chosen to remain at this job, none of which, frankly, are any of your business. I will not validate my choices through some random anon.
Did I miss the part where I asked for your reasons? Frankly I could not care less why you chose to deal with union crap. It's your choice, but if you chose to be in it and support it's B's, then I don't feel bad when you get screwed by it. People who want unions are generally the people who run the unions, and bad workers who will get protected by them. They screw the actual good workers.
Quoted from cottonm4:No self respecting CEO, COO, or CFO will work without legal representation and contracts which include mega-golden parachutes no matter how much they ran the company into to the ground.
But you expect the lower level employees to work without any kind of representation and with at-will agreements.
You should reconsider.
Get legal representation and a contact, go for it, great idea. you know what those CEOs don't have with those contracts, unions. They know better.
Quoted from Frax:Or...they don't need them because they're the ones making the rules. Duh. I wish I had just left my original post, seems I was correct....but not going to worry about that anymore. Byeeeeee!
They make the rules since they worked their way to that position. They didn't have a union preventing them from getting there.
Quoted from cottonm4:Kansas has strange liquor laws. Grocery stores can only sell beer with an alcohol content of 3.2%. Liquor stores get the sell the good ass kicking beer with a 6.0% alcohol content. But the liquor stores can not sell soda for mixers. So, if you are serious about your alcohol, you bought your beer and booze at the liquor store and then drove across the street to the grocery store and walked past the 3.2 beer as you picked up a 6 pack of 7 UP to mix with your shot of Jack.
Now the law has changed. Grocery stores can sell the good stuff and the liquor stores can now sell 7 UP. Nobody wants to buy 3.2 so it is gone.
In Texas and Nebraska, Walmart sells any kind of booze you can buy. It has sort of killed off the liquor stores there. I mean, you can stop at Walmart and buy your weenies and buns and barbecue stuff for a party. And you can also pick up all your booze, as well. No need to bother with going out of your way to the liquor store.
The mom and pop liquor stores have been fighting this law for years. This year, they finally lost the battle.
Right over his head, LTG. I hope he enjoyed the breeze at least.
