Union workers told to go and listen to tramp or forgo overtime pay

[ABikerSailor]

Damn lying libs....from here to November 2020 do not believe a word said by a lib or their links and turn off CNN...MSNBC...PBS...ABC...NBC...CBS...and even FOX on Saturday and Sunday when they sound a littler more like CNN....

There is no way to know if the story is true or not because the media lies about Trump every day. So this could be another lie.

Listen, just because you guys choose to believe it didn't happen doesn't mean squat. There are copies of the memo out there saying as much.

But, keep up with the fake news cries if that's what helps you sleep at night.

It is no longer possible to tell truth from lies because the media has told so many lies that it is no longer credible.

Not being believed, even when you're telling the truth, is the consequence for being a liar.

See, The Boy Who Cried Wolf story for an example of what I'm talking about.

Sorry, but in an age where damn near everyone has a computer, and there are lots of search engines out there that can find things according to your preferences, it's fairly easy to verify if something is true or not.

The point I'm making is that the mainstream media won't say anything positive about Trump ever, even when true. That makes them non-credible in my opinion.

The choice for thousands of union workers at Royal Dutch Shell’s petrochemical plant in Beaver County was to either spend Tuesday standing in a giant hall waiting for President Donald Trump to speak, or to take the day off with no pay.

“Your attendance is not mandatory,” read the rules that Shell sent to union leaders a day ahead of the visit to the $6 billion construction site. But only those that showed up at 7 a.m., scanned their cards, and prepared to stand for hours — through lunch but without lunch — would be paid.

“NO SCAN, NO PAY,” the rules said.

Those that decided to sit out the event would have an excused absence, the company said, and would not qualify for overtime pay on Friday. The company has a 56-hour workweek with 16 hours of overtime. That means those workers who attended Mr. Trump’s speech and showed up for work on Friday meeting the overtime threshold are being paid at a rate of time and a half, while those that didn’t go to hear the president are being paid the regular rate, despite the fact that both groups did not do work on the site on Tuesday.
snip
“No yelling, shouting, protesting or anything viewed as resistance will be tolerated at the event,” the paper read. “An underlying theme of the event is to promote good will from the unions. Your building trades leaders and jobs stewards have agreed to this.”

Mr. Trump received a generally warm and at times cheerful welcome at Shell, where he talked about his political grievances and name-called opponents as much as he praised the natural gas extracted in Appalachia, which will be processed at the Shell plant into plastic pellets.

He also called out union leadership, which Shell had requested to be in attendance.

“I’m going to speak to some of your union leaders to say, ‘I hope you’re going to support Trump.’ OK?” he said. “And if they don’t, vote them the hell out of office because they’re not doing their job.”

Sounds like getting paid to not do a fucking thing but listen. What exactly are you bitching about here ?

I'm sure most of them would rather be working than standing around listening to the old tired talk, it would make the time go faster than just stand around listening to an old man yapping. Rallies are the same old thing, you listen to one and your set to go, I suspect most would much prefer to work, I know I would.

You are sure? Did you talk to every one of them?

That's the problem with you libtards! You ASSUME too much, because you don't know anything!

And, as a probable supporter of unions and all they do for the worker, you blame... who?

I believe in unions, but sometimes they get carried away. I believe in workers rights, I am not one for at will employment meaning if you don't like someone you can fire them.

Why do you think the middle class is sinking? Could it possibly b3 because laws have been passed favoring Corporations and down grading Unions since Reagan , a former Union President killed the Controllers Union.

Clinton did not help by signing the HW Bush law, NAFTA either!

Reagan did not kill PATCO. They committed suicide by not adhering to the law.

Your link is not working and is total BS...maybe the rag pulled it because it was BS...

The link for me but like Ringle said no one was forced to go, so I do not get the outrage...

"Attend this or take a pay cut" is being forced to go.

Attend this and get paid, don't attend.....don't get paid.

Sounds like a deal. Get the day off and paid overtime plus you get to hear a guy break all the bubbles on all the lies the democrats have been feeding you. The Left should be VERY AFRAID that unions are paying their people overtime to go listen to a REPUBLICAN.

They knew it was the only way to get anyone to show up for the orange windbag.

"Attend this or you're fired" is being forced to go.....instead they could have a paid day off

No. If they took the day off it was unpaid.

Those that decided to sit out the event would have an excused absence,

while those that didn’t go to hear the president are being paid the regular rate,


While I can't see the actual article because I refuse to turn off my adblocker, nor will I subscribe to sites like this...…..those 2 statements from the OP tells me otherwise. And most companies do pay for 'excused absences' and as I said......they weren't forced because those that didn't go weren't fired.

Both the article headline and the OP are misleading...….as it says they didn't get paid if they didn't go, but that's not true either, now is it?

Overtime

Right...…..those that didn't go, didn't get overtime...…...but in the OP, and the article headline says 'they didn't get paid'......and says nothing about overtime

Those that attended the speech got paid for it. If president Obama pulled anything like that the sound of conservative heads exploding would have been audible from the moon.

It wasn't the choice of the President of whether or how they got paid...….or didn't. THAT little stunt falls on the company

Funny how your creepy brain wants to jump to one extreme conclusion despite the fact that it was their union and employer paying them overtime to attend the rally, not Trump at all and there hasn't been even one other recorded such incident, yet there are countless incidences of the DNC actually busing in protesters and such to disrupt Trump rallies you ignore! Just as there is scant evidence that Trump was using Russia to win the election yet you believed that while extensive evidence of election tampering, intelligence fraud and treasonous coverups surrounding Hillary, the DNC and the FBI you again IGNORE! Then Epstein dies under the strangest of situations, yet nothing to see there!

You people just don't get it do you? This was overtime. If they wanted the overtime pay, attend. If not, don't. Pretty cut and dry. They aren't getting their pay cut as this was overtime anyway. Most companies aren't going to pay you for not being there. Damn you people can't grasp simple concepts can you?

“No yelling, shouting, protesting or anything viewed as resistance will be tolerated at the event,” the paper read. “An underlying theme of the event is to promote good will from the unions. Your building trades leaders and jobs stewards have agreed to this.”

Mr. Trump received a generally warm and at times cheerful welcome at Shell, where he talked about his political grievances and name-called opponents as much as he praised the natural gas extracted in Appalachia, which will be processed at the Shell plant into plastic pellets.

He also called out union leadership, which Shell had requested to be in attendance.
