Oh yea, I've worked for several manufacturing companies. I've seen a piece of trash lay on the floor all day long because it wasn't "their job" to pick it up. I've seen guys shut down the line because the parts guy was working on something else and they couldn't walk over and get what they needed because it wasn't "their job". I know people that have laid out all week so they can work a 3 day weekend and get the equivalent of 8 days pay.
Yea, I've been there, seen that..........all of it. I won't even begin to tell you what's wrong with the guys that belong to the Teamster's union.
Okay, again, that sounds like attitude, not union membership.
Sorry, I've heard a lot of non-union guys say, "not my job", and sometimes, it was even justifiable.
If you go into the warehouse to pick something and you arent' authorized to be there, at my company, they'll fire you. It's not your job. That's a management rule, not a union rule.
So I'm not seeing what your complaint is here, other than you didn't like the fact they negotiated a better deal collectively than you got invididually.
