Union guys are not the people you see on the side of the road grouped up holding shovels and drinking cofee. They’re state workers. I work my ass off for the money I make. Get no paid holidays, sick days, vacation time or anything of the sort. If I don’t work I don’t get paid.What do you do? I’m sure you work long hours and put a lot of effort in at you computer chair, and I respect that. You went to college to not have to do manual labor. But do not call people lazy when you have no idea what they go through for their paycheck. I would like to see you come work with me for a week. I doubt you would be able to. So I think you should respect the people who build and repair the buildings you live in, roads you drive on and houses you live in. Because you sound like a snob. Just to make a point. I doubt you could do his (or my) job for a week either. It is people like him that make sure our infrastructure is maintained and (reasonably) error free. You cannot do anything today w/o somehow interacting with something someone sitting in a chair staring at a computer has created. Everything from turning your car on to making a phone call to buying gas. In fact, chances are your paycheck is calculated and printed using some kind of electronic system developed by someone sitting at a computer. Yes, there are two sides to the coin, but the only difference is the type of work involved. Both sides work equally hard and put in just as much time and effort as the other. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/job-sites/252737)._
